| - This is clearly a very "beginner friendlly" Vietnamese restaurant. The ambiance was excellent (an old, renovated house that was decorated nicely). The service was pretty good (young college-aged people).
If you're going to charge premium prices ($9-$15) for traditional Vietnamese fare (pho, grilled steak with rice, egg rolls), at least spice it up with premium ingredients.
I was hijacked for $7 on egg rolls, for what arrived as two egg rolls sliced diagonally in an attempt to substitute presentation for value. Typically for $5-$6, you get 5-6 egg rolls. The ingredients \ end product I received was nothing special.
The pho was mediocre at best. The noodles were fresh, the beef (all 4 pieces of it) was pretty thick. The broth was lackluster. The bowl it was served in was definitely nice. For the $9 it cost, it was definitely lacking in both volume and quality.
If you are looking for an intimate, seemingly adventurous place to take a date, this place would be decent. If you're looking for authentic, delicious Vietnamese place, it should be a last resort.
