They're generous with the meat--every slice was tender and high quality--and the bowl came filled to the brim. The standout, though, was the noodles; perfectly blanched with a distinct, springy chew that held up the entire meal. At $16, the portion and quality make it an incredible value.

The servers were very busy but competent the food was delivered hot as it came up, not with both together so one gets cold while the other needs more time. Definately family style.

The coffee was just... ok. Mine tasted very heavy of chocolate, which was not in the name. The ube also had a strange taste. I love ube, so I'm not sure if they are adding something?

We all tried all of the drinks together. Vietnamese coffee: 4/5 Definitely too sweet, good classic rich flavor Brown sugar boba: 3/5 Okay, not something I would usually order anyways but it was too milky yet still very sweet. Happy Tea: 2.5/5 The flavor was good but so sweet that I'm glad I don't get a fruit drink. It was way too much. (To clarify, I like sweet things; it just tasted like I was drinking fruit syrup) The service was great; we had a lot of questions concerning what to get and if there are alternative milks and despite a slight language barrier, they were patient, kind, and incredibly helpful! The ambiance was so cute! Definitely a little overstimulating for some but I absolutely loved the color and hanging decorations everywhere. Overall, I probably would get a viet coffee from here if I was on a pinch and really didn't want to make it at home myself but the drinks are a little too sweet for me. They also do not have alternative milk (which my friend needed for her drink so she couldn't get anything). I would still recommend trying it to someone because it's a small business and the sweetness might be perfect for you!

That says a lot considering that the spot that has been at the top of my list on Eat Street has been there for over two decades! I was here for my first visit yesterday and there are three big things about MT Noodles that really impressed me: 1) This place was spic and span clean! Walking in, it looked more like a bright, fresh, corporate lunchroom or college cafeteria space than someone's living room from the old country like so many of the small Vietnamese eateries I have been to in various cities around the US. 2) The staff were very helpful, friendly, and concerned about their guests. There is clearly a high amount of pride in what they are doing in operating this business. They checked on my table several times, and they were clearly concerned about my party enjoying our meals. So much so that they seemed alarmed when I got up to pay the check and there was still food left on the table. They were worried that we did not enjoy it. We had to reassure them that everything was outstanding, but we simply had poor self control and ordered too much. 3) The food was simply awesome! In portion size, cost, variety, and taste. It is easy to find a good bowl of Pho just about anywhere but rare to find authentic Bo La Lat, Bánh xèo, Nem Nuong, or Bun Cha Hanoi as they have here. There are many places that attempt to imitate but really don't succeed. This place nails it. A more authentic Bo La Lat I have not had even in Ho Chi Minh City! 5 stars for that menu rendition alone! There are only a few versions of Pho on the menu, but I can tell you that the soup here was extremely deep, Rich, beefy, and satisfying. It was full of aromatics and good to the last drop! I am really looking forward to a second visit here to surf my way around all the other great sounding menu items!
