Very on par with the culture. 1 negative but not that serious is the tv above my head was just buzzing the whole time. Now the food.. the chicken wings were amazing. Sweet, salty, crispy. Perfect. Then the pho came out. Lord have mercy. The serving was massive. The price was average. Not the cheapest, not the most expensive. But the flavor was excellent. Then Vietnamese coffee is maybe my favorite thing ever. Be prepared to stay awake for 2 days lol

Highlight: Bun Rieu ($15), Sugarcane Juice…read more The bun rieu had a mix of meats but the rieu/crab meat balls themselves didn't have a strong crabby taste. The bowl size was fairly large, and the tofu was thinner than how I usually like to enjoy it. The sugarcane juice was not freshly pressed and tasted sweet with a hint of sourness in a citrusy way. Overall, I couldn't taste much of the cane. Hospitality: Our waitress was super friendly and kind. Honorable Mention: Decent seating inside with a black and grey aesthetic.

Deep, clear, and impossibly rich, it proved that flavor doesn't need a grand stage to be enormous. The bowl was fantastic, the price was more than fair, and the service was refreshingly simple: honest & quick. It's a humble place doing something truly extraordinary.

I was allowed to select my table and he quickly came to serve me a beverage and returned to take my order. I always go for the Combination Pho (extra large, of course) anytime I visit a Vietnamese restaurant that I've never been to. I also try the fresh spring rolls. In this case, I decided on Pork and Shrimp. The Pho broth was both temperature hot and flavorful, just what I needed on a cold day. The spring rolls were light and refreshing, but balanced and packed with flavor. Located in an older shopping mall off Florida Boulevard, this unassuming restaurant has a beautiful charm as soon as you walk through the door. Quiet, private and very tastefully decorated for an inviting dining experience.

You asked me what I wanted and I was at a loss of words so I showed you a photo to *give you an impression of what I wanted* in actuality I wanted to see a menu so I could narrow down exactly what I wanted. You are too pushy and it shows in your response, be more empathetic. I was about to tell you this when I seen you at Home Depot on Airline, but you were with your family. All I could was just shake my head at you. read more

I spent $22 with no problem to come and support and I got eyes rolled and teeth smacked at me because I didn't leave a time and when I said have a blessed day she ignored me and walked off.

The menu was still similar to the old one, with some new additions to the appetizers like being able to order a small or large karaage, wong wings, takoyaki, etc. We ordered karaage and cucumbers to share, but they completely forgot to add any ponzu sauce. It seems to be a recurring issue with this app where there is always something that is missed, whether it be the sauce or a garnish. It's cool that they decided to merge/ combine sweet society and their new claw machine arcade all into one establishment, but the new dining space here honestly felt a bit claustrophobic, so it was difficult to comfortably enjoy ourselves. With that being said, I unfortunately don't see ourselves returning for boru, but possibly for dessert.
