I am not going to rail on this place too much because it did provide some mad comfort after a long day's work. I will just keep this easy and to the point.
Let's start off by saying this isn't an "authentic" Vietnamese restaurant. It has its MSG and pho broth they use for everything (even vegetarian dishes), but their rice dishes are wretched and everything is just mediocre without thrills. So why does everyone love this place? Well I hate to break it, but most of the frequenters are white and for some reason they became the authority on judging a good or bad Vietnamese restaurant, even if health inspectors closed it down (twice?).
With that being said, it's a good soup restaurant. That's right, not pho but "soup" restaurant. Vegheads beware, not cruelty free.
