Spectacular Vietnamese Cuisine - A Must-Try!
As a first-timer to Vietnamese cuisine, I was guided by the server's excellent recommendations. The food was incredibly fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious! I started with the fresh spring rolls and then indulged in the lemongrass beef garlic noodles, which were nothing short of spectacular. The experience was so good that I now feel compelled to make a trip to Vietnam. If only I lived in this city, I'd be a daily visitor. The service was also top-notch, contributing to a wonderful overall experience.

Lively spot with yummy food!
My experience at this restaurant was casual and lively, with pop music playing. The food was yummy. I wish they had La Croix!

Still the Best Garlic Noodles!
Years later, my experience at this restaurant remains exceptional. The garlic noodles are still the best I've ever had, and the service is consistently outstanding. The staff are incredibly kind, and the food arrives with impressive speed. What truly stands out is their amazing ability to always remember our dietary restrictions, making dining here a worry-free experience.

Best Vietnamese Food Ever!
My experience at this restaurant was undoubtedly the best Vietnamese food I’ve ever had. The flavors were all perfectly balanced. The atmosphere on the patio was excellent.

Terrible Food, Okay Service
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly negative due to the food. I had one of the worst meals ever. The "garlic noodles" were bland, one-dimensional, sweet, and most disappointingly, mushy. The spring rolls were equally bad, described as stale, sticky, and flavorless. The only saving grace was the pleasant service, which prevented a one-star rating. I definitely would not return.

Pho Lacked Flavor, Disappointing Toppings
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing. The pho was not very good. The broth lacked good flavor and the steak was just okay. I was sad to not get any cilantro and a lemon instead of a lime as well for toppings. The noodles were good.

Amazing Vietnamese Sandwich and Thai Tea
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had one of the best Vietnamese sandwiches I've ever tasted. The pork belly banh mi sandwich was absolutely amazing and offered a great value. To top it off, the Thai tea was excellent. I highly recommend this place for its delicious food and excellent drinks.

Delicious Food, Great Value, Friendly Staff
My family and I had a wonderful lunch experience. The staff was friendly, and the ambience was cool and comfortably warm, providing a welcome escape from the freezing wind outside. All the dishes we ordered were delicious. The grilled pork chop was particularly tender, juicy, and had a delightful smoky flavor, indicating it was charcoal grilled. We found the price to be good value, especially considering the big portion sizes. We left as happy customers.

Not Authentic Vietnamese
My experience at this restaurant was just okay. I found that the food was not authentic Vietnamese. The name of the restaurant is Tagalog, which, in my opinion, should have been a clear indicator of what to expect regarding authenticity.

Good Vietnamese Food, Not the Best
I had the five spice chicken and the vermicelli with pork and imperial rolls, plus a side of soup. The food was very good overall, but it wasn't the best Vietnamese we've tried in the city. All in all, it's a great option.
