This restaurant is located next to a smoke shop so it can get really stuffy sometimes. I only drop by when I want to eat one thing: bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup).
The waitress, Tania, always remembers me. I stop by once a month when I want to splurge a little and satisfy my craving for bun bo hue. Shops in Oakland, San Gabriel, and other cities with lots of Vietnamese restaurants do not compare! Vietnam Bistro's noodle soup broth is beefy with lemongrass and complex herbal notes.
