I feel really bad for writing this review because the people who work here are super friendly and down-to-earth. Unfortunately, the food is not good and that's ultimately what it comes down to. Pho was way too sweet, which overshadowed the complex aromatics of a truly good broth. Bun bo hue was pretty awful. Tasted like fish-sauce water. Grilled pork on the vermicelli dish was wafer thin and dry. And they use a lot of coloring on their meats which makes the food look less appealing. Banh xeo had nice crunch but only had a few small shrimps inside and I don't remember seeing any pork at all. Vegetable accompaniments were each lacking something authentic to the dish. I did not try any of the macarons, but we were given crepe samples which were ok. Free drink with yelp check-in if you want to try some new drinks. I might come back to try a macaron, but not for the Viet food. Hate to be a food snob at a mom-and-pop place, but as Vietnamese food becomes increasingly popular, I'd want people to experience the real deal.
