| - on one plane, there's really no need to update a 5 star review with a 5 star review but then again, when you got it, flaunt it. While I won't review it each time I come here, I skipped reviewing the last 2 or 3 visits. I love this place...it loves me back.
Owner not there today, service spot on and food, well I keep trying something new each time and each time a touchdown. Every table in the place occupied. Every time I have been there, it's been SRO. I don't think that this place is a secret.
Besides the egg rolls (hard to skip this and I just don't love sweet potatoes), today I went for the BÚN RÊU, blue crab meat, eggs, tomato and vermicelli noodles in a chicken broth...and of course a mango boba.
All of my previous forays into Vietnamese have been rice noodles and reading other reviews about pho induced coma's seemed silly to me. Well, this wasn't a pho but 30 minutes later I just wanted to curl up and go to bed - I think the vermicelli had something to do with that.
I love the fact that I could meet Scott W there, the same service, similar food (he had the beef/shrimp pho) and he gives it 3 stars and I give it 5. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I should have told him that he could get wooden disposable chopsticks instead of the nice round plastic chopsticks and perhaps he would have given it 4 stars...
