| - We took my (soon to be) mother in law here with my fiance's family for a belated birthday celebration and really enjoyed the food/atmosphere.
As other reviewers have noted, the restaurant is located in a random industrial parking lot. Not deterred and fueled by raving Yelp reviews, we drove here on a drizzly Sunday evening. As soon as we opened the door and were greeted with an intoxicating/delicious food smell (plus it was super busy!), we knew we had come to the right place.
To start, we ordered a few items to share from the appetizer menu. We tried the fresh spring rolls with shrimp, fried spring rolls, wonton soup, and mango salad. Everything was super delicious, tasted fresh and made with care. To accompany these nibbles, we enjoyed many different home made sauces including a killer hot sauce - yum!
Service was a bit confused - they have a lot of people working and we weren't really sure who our server was but we didn't go without anything we needed for long. Perhaps just some hiccups they are working out as they just opened in June.
For our mains, we each ordered one dish and shared with everyone at the table. We got an order of Pad Thai with shrimp, crispy seafood noodles, spicy veggie pho, veggie vermacelli, and my bae opted for the pork/chicken vermacelli. Again, flavours were awesome and all of dishes were so tasty. I want to come back and try the regular veggie pho!
Even though we were stuffed, we couldn't pass up the deep fried bananas and also ordered two scoops of ice cream - red bean and mango. I took bites of the hot crispy sweet bananas with the cold ice cream and was in dessert heaven. Oh so good!
Since my MIL loves loves loves spicy foods, the hostess (I think she might be the owner) was kind enough to send home a container of their house made hot sauce just for her. I love when restaurants go out of their way with a small touch, it really made my MIL feel so special - thank you!!! We also were handed delicious honey (?) covered fried balls which were stuffed with bean (or cheese?) - either way, they were epic!
Absolutely would recommend this restaurant if you are looking for Vietnamese fantastic food!
