I went here from the other Yelp review ( but mostly because of the delicious pictures that were provided). I dined on a Friday around 6pm. The place was nearly empty, other than one other party of 2. When I first walked in, I couldnt help but notice a smell of vanilla cigars(?) I couldn't put my finger on it, but it smelt like someone used to smoke in this facility. (Granted, it could have been the previous owner). I did notice fragrant candles on many of the tables.
The service here was awesome. You could tell it was an establishment that was trying it's best to serve it's customers. I ordered a Vietnamase Iced coffee and I think the lady-owner came out herself to make sure that it tasted to my satisfaction.
The most disappointing part of the meal was that they had NO PHO available. NONE. On a Friday night at 6pm. No Pho. I guess the cooks weren't around and the stock wouldn't be available until an hour later.
Nevertheless I ordered a vermicelli noodle dish with egg rolls, chicken, and pork. It was really tasty. My SO ordered the pad thai (they did let us know beforehand that it was a sweet and sour taste). It was OK. I asked for my food to be wrapped up, but then found out that a different waiter threw it out by mistake. (Honestly, this wasn't a big deal for me because I didn't have alot of food left, but I've never had this happen to me before and thought it was worth mentioning).
If this restaurant was less than a 5 minute drive from me, I would definitely give it another chance. However, any Vietnamese restaurant that runs out of pho it's opening month feels like a place that isn't up to par with my standards.
