First time ever getting utensils brought out in a pitcher full of boiling water. I have a few kids and they brought out scissors as well. The restaurant itself looks very clean and some parts have been renovated and some areas only received a new coat of paint.
We ordered the house special pho, chicken and shrimp fried rice, and Vietnamese spring rolls. None of the 3 items stood out versus all of the other Vietnamese restaurants out there. That's not to say that they were bad, but just the same as others.
I would rate the food average, 2.5-3 stars and the a bonus 0.5-1 stars for the cleanliness.
