| - This was our first visit to this café in maybe 10 years. We ate here once or twice before when I believe it was called Irene's Café.
The menu is standard breakfast/lunch fare. There was also a big sign that said to try their new Vietnamese items, such as pho (with beef or beef balls), rice with fried egg and chicken or pork and vermicelli with grilled pork.
We had to stand at the counter to order, but then were told to sit down and they'd bring our dishes to us. We also didn't have to pay until after we ate.
Our food was delivered within a few minutes and was piping hot.
My son and I had the same dish, 2 fried eggs, bacon, homefries and fruit. We asked them to hold the toast. The eggs were a perfect sunny side up and the bacon was crisp. The homefries were okay, nothing special. The fruit was 2 orange wedges, 2 cubes of canteloupe and 2 cubes of honedew. All in all, it was pretty good.
My husband had the vermicelli with grilled pork. It came with the usual nuoc cham dipping sauce, but we had to ask for Sriracha to spice it up. He said the grilled pork was good and he liked that there was lots of lettuce and cucumber. There wasn't any pickled daikon or carrot and no bean sprouts either. He said the whole dish was pretty tasty.
The prices were good ($30 for all three, including tax).
I think we'll probably return here for breakfast in the future.
