Guestbook
“ A straightforward Vietnamese restaurant that serves delicious food. I tried the half boneless duck, and it was pretty good. Some pieces were a little dry, though they do give a generous portion of a side sauce alongside to dip or mix (had peanut sauce). I also ordered the strawberry blend drink, and it was, of course, very fresh and tasty. The staff here are polite and friendly and periodically check up on their tables. I also like the fact that this restaurant is open until 1am, which gives people a nice option for a late night or an after-work meal. ”
“ The reviews here are very mixed. I decided to give it a shot. There's plenty of parking everywhere. The restaurant inside is big and very clean. Decor is up to date as well. I ordered the hot and sour seafood pho. To my surprise it was absolutely delicious and very comforting. My friend ordered the bun bo hue. We asked for a red chili each and it was perfect! Service is strange though. As soon as I went up to pay, the girl didn't give my 60 cent change back. I was grabbing more change out of my pocket to tip of course, but she then asked me how much did you pay again? Wow I could've gotten away with saying I paid with a 50 dollar bill . Anyhoo, those two items we ordered are delicious. I think the small sizes are plenty ”
“ Friendly staff, delicious food. Left very happy and full. I got the Sautéed Vegetables with Tofu in Spicy Coconut Curry with rice, and it was so tasty. My partner also enjoyed his Hot and Sour Seafood Soup. They are conveniently located directly across from the Atrium Hotel. Would definitely recommend and would go back here :) ”
