Solid spot. The Banh Mi is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the General Tso's Chicken and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Pho was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Korean Bibimbap hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Pad Thai stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
Great asian fusion option for the area. The Banh Mi was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
