We've driven by so many times and finally stopped in for lunch -- safe to say we'll be back. We ordered two house specials (two meats + fried egg). I got the pork and tofu, and my boyfriend got the beef and pork. Heads up, the marinade can be on the sweeter side (according to my bf), so if that's not your thing, it might not be your go-to. But i really liked the balance of sweetness with the spice of the jalapeños. The bread was the standout for me. A lot of banh mi places have bread that's too hard, but theirs was perfectly crisp and easy to bite into. Can't wait to try more of the menu

I'm disappointed that the French bread barely had any crunch to my sandwich although I saw them "toast" it, it was more warmed up than toasted. Any real Vietnamese bahn mi would pride themselves on homemade bread and this definitely was not homemade. I didn't get the best taste of the pate but instead the mayo has a cilantro twist to its flavor. I don't think I would go out of my way to seek this sandwich out again. I think the boba is a better option here.

This is actually the first pho spot I've tried since moving to Washington, and I'm happy to say it didn't disappoint.

That said, the restaurant looked clean inside and had some cute lantern decorations that added a nice Asian vibe. The employee who took my order was polite as well. One positive thing I noticed was that the servers appeared to be young, and they were speaking Vietnamese, which I low-key feel like should be a requirement when working at a Vietnamese restaurant anyway so at least I know I'm somewhat receiving the authentic Vietnamese restaurant experience. My pho was packaged neatly for takeout, so nothing spilled during the trip home. It came with two packets of hoisin sauce, two packets of Sriracha, and the usual side of bean sprouts, mint leaves, lime, and green onions that typically come with pho. The portion size was solid too. There was a generous amount of meat and broth--my bowl was actually filled to the brim. I managed to finish everything though, and my stomach was definitely satisfied.

We shared egg rolls and spring rolls for apps; my husband got the beef noodle pho with extra brisket and I decided to get the wonton noodle soup. We really enjoyed the food, it had good flavor and the portion was perfect. My husband had ordered a lychee boba drink which he was a little disappointed in since it same out more like a slushie. We both made the mistake of adding a bit too much chili oil to our soups so it was harder for us to enjoy it as much as we wanted. I had used their restroom in the back of the restaurant after my meal and was a little disappointed in the upkeep of it. There was no paper towels left for me to dry my hands with and the toilet paper roll had just enough left for me to use. I informed the waiter that it needed to be replenished, unsure how soon or if he bothered to add more supplies in there. Overall, the experience wasn't too bad but wasn't the greatest. I think we wouldn't mind going there one more time to try something new/the same things without the extra spice we accidentally added.

The broth was delicious; I think it's better than anything I've recently had in Atlanta. It was salty yet still light and the garlic flavoring was not overpowering. It made the pieces of beef delicious, especially when dipped in sriracha or hoisin sauce. The fresh basil rolls were standard. I did like their hand wrapped presentation. To go we got a chicken banh mi that we split later that night. Delicious and it kept well together in the car so we didn't get crumbs anywhere. All in all, I think this spot is a gem.
