Not sure how long this place has been in business in this particular China Town location but I have been going here for at least 10 years when I'm in the area. It never disappoints. The decor is outdated but don't let that sway you since the food is great, prices reasonable and it's always fast - no matter the time of day your here.
There is so many lunch time FAV's that I find it hard to just pick one when I pop in. The pho, vermicelli dishes, rice dishes, noodles and on and on. On this occasion I had the vermicelli lemon grass beef. It was soooo good. Beef was tender and the perfect amount of spice.
During the lunch hour, the place is always packed, but if you go a little before or after peak time than it's easy to get a seat. The service is always very fast, friendly servers and prices are very economical. Will be back again and again.
