this place should serve as your "fast food" vietnamese stop. i like the fried rice and my husband always orders the pho. it's not spectacular, but you expect it. it hits the spot when you've got a craving, though and that's what matters. i like the guy who runs the shop, he's really friendly and always recognizes us when we come in. i don't know how the rest of the food is, but the pho seems to deliver. the interior is horrid, but it goes with the character of the place. actually, i think they've replaced the furniture and perhaps painted a wall since the last time i've been. i agree, the mickey mouse painting's a tad odd, but whatever. i won't hold it against them.
