In Short
Inside, a landscape mural dominates one wall, its green serenity a contrast to the bustling activity of diners sitting down to slurp pho or waiting in the crowded foyer bar area for plastic-bagged takeout orders. The cuisine, sprinkled with a few Thai dishes, is largely Vietnamese, with an emphasis on fresh seafood drawn straight from the restaurant's many saltwater tanks. Lemongrass pork comes with filament-thin vermicelli and cilantro and a stack of thin rice pancakes.

Great place to go for lunch or dinner in Chinatown. Menu is a good mix of items - you can get similar proteins in some great ways, with white rice or on noodles with bean sprouts, mint, lettuce, etc. or deconstructed in a larger portion. Many appetizers and nearly two pages of specials.

There were some times when I would go to eat Pho and they would make the best pho ever. However, recently they have been slipping. The food is not as good as it used to be. Also, one time I went they gave me the smallest portion ever. The noodles were all broken up and it was not good at all. This restaurant is definitely a hit or miss.

Remember folks, NEVER GO TO A TRADITIONAL VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT FOR ATMOSPHERE. "Service" is not part of Vietnamese restaurant culture. I think the attitude is, "here's the food. Eat it! You don't need me smiling & fawning at you to eat your food!" On that note, I had the com suong nuoung bi cha and the cha was...REALLY WEIRD. Probably my fault for not eating the pho at a pho joint. No desire to try again, though.
