This place is BOMB.
That sentence wasn't a typo. Because when you have a meal at this place you will definitely drop your "the"s because your belly is full of Vietnamese awesomeness.
Once in a while I drop in here when I feel like I earn a free-pass meal after hours of training at Gracie Barra, which is just a block down the street *Best-Bjj-club-in-the-city-shameless-plug* . And the first time I discovered this restaurant was when my training buddies BJ and Walton invited me, a doe-eyed white-belt for post-training pho and bun. I sat there NOMING away on my beef ball pho while they traded secrets that would lead to me smashing people on the mats in the future...
but I digress (like always)
Since then I've tried several of their soups. Their hot and sour seafood pho is 2 legit...legitimately BOMB 2 quit. That didn't make sense but I highly suggest this soup because with the hundreds of Vietnamese restaurants in this city, the great ones tend to make their unique dishes shine. It's hearty, succulent, and has a refreshing aftertaste, while making you breathe through your mouth even after you've driven off the parking lot.
Also the ration of Vietnamese diners here is at a high volume. This isn't racist but it is a good indication but I know a Filipino restaurant is legit when I see Pinoys nomming away on something they could make at home.
