What a pleasant surprise to find a Vietnamese restaurant pop up in this NW neighborhood.
The place is small (holds 31 people), with walls painted orchid and new tile floors. The staff were just as bright and shiny (friendly) as the decor. I decided to go straight up the middle with the Bun Bo Hue. The Thai Ice Tea probably isn't a proper match, but I had a craving for it. :)
The soup arrived before I could return from washing my hands for lunch. It was very good, but a bit bland, probably due to their holding back after seeing the round-eye in the American Flag t-shirt. Whatever, I'm used to it. Nothing that a big dollop of chili sauce can't cure! Delicious broth, beef parts, noodles, sprouts, veggies and herbs. Yum!
The prices are reasonable and perfectly average for this type of fare. Lunch special is 10% off from 11am-3pm. Happy Hour (sorry, they don't serve alcohol... Or else this place would be PERFECT) is 20% off from 3pm-6pm.
A great solo first experience. I will DEFINITELY come back with family and friends in tow to explore the menu further.
