Cozy Vietnamese spot serving traditional fare. We really enjoyed the fresh shrimp rolls & pho, the broth was well balanced and the bean sprouts were very fresh. Just wish the portion for pho was a bit bigger/an option for a XL size. Overall very yummy!

Their madame saigon street platter is so worth it and huge! They have happy hour specials too currently for $10 pho! Service is great and I love their spring rolls

Their fried rice is amazing! Perfectly cooked, super flavorful, and not too oily. The portion is generous, and it always hits the spot. Great food, fast service—this place never disappoints!

Arrived here just before 5 on a Saturday evening and we didn’t have to wait long to get a table. Just 30min later there was a lineup out the door. Food was delicious and the portions were generous. We also got the fried fish and their $10 pho promo. We shared all the food amongst 3 people and we still had leftovers! Make sure to remind them to also bring the rice wrappers with the street platter (pictured here), which we definitely recommend. The fried fish was also surprisingly good and came with 4 large pieces. Room for improvement - service was a little slow and had to remind them a few times for water. The tables didn’t seem to be stocked with utensils much so folks kept dropping by our table to get a spoon since we seemed to be the only one with them. Overall we left satisfied and very full, along with a bunch of leftovers. Very reasonable pricing. Would come back and hopefully the service improves and tables are more stocked next time!

I used to come here a lot but this was my first time coming back since they changed the name. The food seems to have changed a little. They only give out bean sprouts and a spice of lime instead of the usual (with basil). But the service was great. Servers were friendly. Only downside side would be the flies. I killed 2 while I ate…

I had a family lunch here and was thoroughly impressed! The service was excellent, the staff was super friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, everything we tried was top notch. I will definitely be recommending this place to my family and friends, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend! Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

Restaurant is small. Lunch time very busy. Have to wait for 15 to 20 minutes. Happy hours menu $10 add $4 combo includes 3 spring rolls and a coffee. Perfect portion. We ordered beef pho, satay beef pho and grilled pork vermicelli. Very tasty!!

Food/service/atmosphere was okay! Garnish for pho was limited to bean sprouts and lime wedges only! Got the happy hour special pho $10 but it wasn’t something special! Especially the size of bowl! I think it’s perfect kid size meal! Definitely not something I would go out my way. Vietnamese coffee with spring rolls $4 Coffee was authentic Vietnamese but the spring rolls was ordinary vegetarian ones found at any takeout places! Bright spot was the soft crabs! It was delicious! The hype on social media can be deceiving sometimes!
