Not 5 stars because service was sketchy (yeah, everything is dropped off at your table sporadically) and the food was mediocre.\n\nSpring rolls - very good; small is really small, though.\nFish sauce -- authentic, high quality.\nHouse fried rice -- one piece of shrimp - one. Bland in comparison to Chinese fried rice, and yet I liked the rather plain taste. It was more of a comfort dish than a crazy-with-flavor food. Reheated very well when we took half of it home - huge portion.\n\nNo wait for a table, and they're bringing in new servers as often as they can. It was interesting that our server was foreign (Chinese, maybe?) but did not know anything about Vietnamese food. My partner asked in Vietnamese if they had some highly popular sauce (which they did), but the server did not understand what was being asked. On the other hand, the server also did not understand English very well. We simply pointed to the menu when ordering. Speaking of which, the menu is about 10 pages long full of 100+ dishes. I hope they downsize that so that they're not throwing out inventory constantly as it spoils because they have too much of too many things. Ah, the joys of start-ups. I would be surprised if they stay around longer than a year, but I would love to be wrong!\n\nWe put a credit card in the bill folder/thing and paid at the table. I'm not sure if that was correct or not given a previous reviewer talking about waiting at the register, but no one even batted an eye."^^ . "0"^^ .
