| - Visited this place with my mom, brother and boyfriend. Came in on a busy Sunday afternoon, the place was almost packed to the brim. There were a few tables with no one seated on them but were filled with dirty dishes, implying that the servers have no cleaned up after the customers left. During the day of our visit, the entire restaurant, which was full, was staffed by only two servers who also are the cashier and cleaner as well as they seemed to be severely understaffed.
Food
I ordered the Lemongrass Fried Beef with Rice, my boyfriend ordered Rare Beef Noodle Soup, brother ordered the Lemongrass chicken with Rice while my mom ordered the House Special Noodle Soup and the Shrimp Roll. According to them, they all said the food was very good and was worth the money, especially given that the large noodle is only a dollar more than the smaller size. The food themselves also came out rather quickly despite being severely understaffed themselves. As for my rice, I found the flavor to be slightly on a heavier side, which is fairly common with vietnamese rice, but was overall acceptable and good.
Atmosphere/Experience
The place was only staffed by two servers and both of them were running around in a frantic manner when we were there. During our visit, another table apparently was missing one of their order, leading to the lead server screaming at the other server quite loudly in Mandarin. This caused a lot of heads to turn and was quite disruptive. In addition, the restaurant was also surrounded with dirty plates and dishes which the servers understandably didn't clean due to how understaffed they are.
Overall, this place isn't bad for a quick fix of Vietnamese food. The food is good and the price is also fair.
