Came here when I was dying for a cheap and simple bowl of vermicelli in any form and it was a night of surprises. Our waiter was surly and mildly interested in us being there (he even yelled at one of the people in our party when she asked for something off the menu), and the place itself was borderline dirty. If you are a stickler for cleanliness and atmosphere, this is not the place for you.
The food is a completely different story - portions are plentiful and the dishes are well-prepared. It's like going over to a friend's house for some straight up homecooking. Spring rolls, summer rolls, Spicy Hue Soup, Pho and Bun with Pork came to under $20 with the tip. The pho was brimming with meat and noodles, and the heap of greenery to accompany the soup was plentiful - they even had shiso and regular mint, which seems to be a rarity at a lot of pho places these days. And everything was perfectly delicious. Lemme tell you, for that price and the quality of the dishes, I can deal with a little rudeness and dinginess. No problem.
