    2 cháo lòng $20
    Vivian C.

    Nice spot for a quick meal or takeout, with fast service and plenty of options for main courses, appetizers, and desserts. They regularly add new items for customers to try. I usually come here just for the Cháo Lòng, as I haven't tried the other dishes yet. The Cháo Lòng is affordable and tasty, though not exceptional, and the portions are generous. I ordered 2 bowls of Cháo Lòng and 1 dish of Lòng and Dồi Huyết for only $32.72, tax included. The staff can be hit or miss, but last time the male staff member his name is Phuong was very friendly and helpful. There's plenty of parking available, which is very convenient .

    Nui Xao Bo (Sauteed Macaroni & Beef)

    I ordered Nui Xao Bo to go and the noodles were over cooked. I had mushy pasta. Terrible!

    Chao Long

    There no way they could improve. It the restaurant has badly meat, when selling to customers.they don't care about people life. I am once that customer who orders Cho long to eat and happens to get food poisoning and over charging. I order banh Tieu, salmon, chao long, chow fun and Chinese donut. I only received banh tieu, chao long

    This was my first time trying this place as a restaurant! I usually come here to just buy their premade foods from the counter, typically the blood sausage or lemongrass sausage (which are both amazing by the way). My table ordered some soups and chao long as well as banh cuon. All the soups were so tasty but the chao long was pretty impressive. The ingredients in the chao long exceeded my parents expectations and they loved it! One thing to consider is their chili sauce, it is very very spicy so just be weary how much chili you add to your meal! This place does get quite busy! My party was there early in the day when the restaurant was not packed but as a few minutes passed, all the tables started to fill up quick! The interior is clean but it does get crowded and a little rowdy since it is both a restaurant and a shop where you can come and buy to-go items as well. Parking can become difficult in this area given the busy-ness of the complex, but it won't be impossible. Definitely a good place to try out!

The chicken wings were phenomenal. We got all flats, which I'm not sure if they normally serve it like that. They were crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and just enough seasoning. The broth was super tasty. The oxtail cooked well. The noodles were in my opinion too soft. That's fine, my granddaughter likes him a little soft. The service was service, not bad or good. It was a small place, felt a little chaotic. Would I go back, if I was in the area probably.

I went on a Monday afternoon and there was a bunch of people waiting outside for a table. It's a small spot with limited tables but I only waited 10-15 minutes. I ordered the #1, Banh Canh Tom Cua Thit. Vietnamese udon with crab, shrimp and pork. I love the chewy texture of the thick noodles. The soup reminded me of Rou Geng Tang, a Taiwanese thick soup but is still considerably different in flavor profile. It was delicious albeit a bit bland so I had to add the lemon and fish sauce that's on every table. I also added a ton of the chili sauce which I absolutely loved. It's very spicy and has the flavor profile of puréed fresh chilis. Tread lightly if you don't have a high heat tolerance like I do. Overall, it's good, albeit a bit pricey for what it is. In each bowl theres two shrimps, generous with the pork, but didn't really notice much crab. Still one of top Banh Canhs in my books!

They have so many other options on the menu like chow fun, hainan chicken, and a ton of other noodle soup dishes. The last two times I came here was on a weekday during lunch so there was plenty of parking. However, I'm sure it gets packed on the weekend since it is located right next to the Asian Garden Mall. All tax is included in the price so there's no additional sales tax line item. Also! They charge 50 cents for water.. other locations do not. I was surprised but oh well.

Service chill, can pay at register in the front, like typical viet restaraunt where they kinda leave you to it. The Grandpa's noodles was good (a dryer noodle), great portion, meat was tender, the radish cube looking things was crispy bits of pork skin. The menu is unique here and mostly in vietnamese. I think I had wished for some sauce to go with the noodles (but I understand its mostly with the soup on the side), good tightness of the meatballs :D... They have the classic condiments on the side, the pickled garlic isn't very crunchy and kind of on the sweet side, the pickled chili does have that slight acidic kick that works well. I modified my noodle to egg for a dollar. The soup was good, on the more umami soy/beef side than clear. The wontons were abundant too, instead of a chili oil the sauce is more like a tangy sweet chili vinegrette thing. My accompaniment got a garlic noodle soup (fried garlic oil) that was rich and also in a huge bowl. For the price and portion its a hidden gem for someone who needs to feed a family. Not like gourmet, but good enough! Omg, also I missed the corn milk :((

I picked the Sò Lông Nướng Mỡ Hành & it was really good. But then I felt something hard when I was chewing & I think I chipped part of my tooth - I'm going to go home & have my boyfriend check it for me & I'll attach the photo of my chipped tooth. Anyway, I have a crown cap so I wasn't super alarmed, but still a bit shook. I still finished my food but I politely tried to let one of the cashiers know. I showed him & everything & he was apologetic & asked what they could do to fix the situation. So I asked for a refund. And the other cashier said in Vietnamese something about me, like "Con nhỏ này" & I thought maybe he's talking about something else-but then when he gave me the receipt of my refund, he said "and I don't want you to be a customer here anymore." I was very appalled and I stood there wondering if he really just said that to me after I had an experience. I asked him why he didn't want me to be a customer anymore. And he turns to a customer to ring them out, ignoring me. So I waited til he was done with that transaction & repeated my question. He flat out said "because you're annoying." WOW. That's just so rude. And unfortunate bc I thought the food was really good & wanted to come back for the clam & the sweet corn milk. So I definitely wouldn't want to be a customer anyways with that kind of attitude towards a customer. Btw they give you plastic utensils here even for dining in which is a con.
