Mixed Experience: Good Pho, Poor Delivery
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The delivery was significantly flawed, with three mistakes on two items. I had requested additional meat on the side, but it was added directly into the pho.
Despite these issues, the pho itself was good. However, the rolls had an off-putting refrigerator taste and a weird smoky flavor. The tables were also unusually high.

Mediocre Vietnamese with a Better Banh Mi
As the only Vietnamese restaurant within a 2-mile radius, there's not much to compare it to. However, I've found myself getting food from here frequently due to its proximity. The food, on the other hand, is quite mediocre and not very tasty.
I will say their Banh Mi is better than Mr. Luu's, which earns them some points. I'd choose this place over Mr. Luu's any day, but that's not to say the food here is great. The Banh Mi is too bready with not enough filling, making you question if meat and veggies were even included.
They need to add more meat and veggies to change my mind. I was still hungry after eating just one, though I acknowledge I'm comparing it to the ones from the International District. I also tried some rice dishes, and the portions are very small for the price.
It felt like I received someone's leftovers due to the meager amount of food. While the price is good, the amount of food is disappointingly little. The service is so-so; they seem to prioritize takeout orders over dine-in customers, as it took nearly 20 minutes to get my Pho.
The place is clean, but the layout isn't ideal. The area where they prepare their bubble tea is at the front, and the loud noise from its preparation detracts from the atmosphere. Parking is also terrible, being entirely street parking.
I've observed the owner taking up a street spot, which feels selfish given the existing parking difficulties for customers.
