| - Just ate here since we had passed it before it had opened and now wanted Vietnamese. I would give it 4.5* if I could, but since I cannot, I give it 5.
They have a large menu, including Banh Mi, which is nice. We ordered some rice vermicelli noodles, an order of shrimp summer rolls and an order of pork summer rolls, and I had a bbq pork banh mi. The shrimp rolls were fine...no better or worse than any other place I have been to. I really enjoyed the pork ones, as they had a nice bbq flavor to the pork. My banh mi was very tasty and had a super fresh and soft baguette. It was filled with a healthy assortment of vegetables and had a good taste as well as crunch factor. The meat could have been a little more thick, as it just had one thin layer of the pork, basically the same as the summer rolls. For $5.50 it came with a little soup cup, which was delicious. It was hot and refreshing and I enjoyed it immensely. They screwed up my banh mi by putting mayo after I asked them not to, and despite the fact that I had eaten half of it already before I really noticed (1 half was much heavier with mayo), they remade the whole thing for me. The waitress was very nice and friendly, and I did not lack for water or beverage refills at all. My wife enjoyed her noodles, especially the fried spring roll that came with it.
Overall, I thought it was a very solid meal and there are many other choices I want to try as well, including a beef roll wrapped in some kind of leaf. The banh mi addition was nice, since I cannot often find too many banh mi places. The food was pretty decently priced, and the service was good and friendly. My sandwich was great and the rolls were pretty good too. Overall, as I said, 4.5, but there were really not glaring faults and I would certainly return soon. My new go to spot for Vietnamese in the NW part of town.
