    The food is delicious and hits the spot. The service was pretty standard, and the waiter answered our questions about dietary restrictions. The decorations were lovely, and you can tell that much thought was put into them. If you get the pho, I would definitely ask for extra limes since they only give you one. Other than that, I would come back again!

    The banh mi is finally back!! Best sandwich in metro Phoenix And even better than before with the new softer roll.. Get the pork if you go. The bowl with the rice noodles, greens and pork and/or egg rolls on top is also great.

    4. 2 Veggie Spring Rolls with Tofu 1 with shrimp.  So fresh and tasty. I don't do spicy food but have spicy fans that love this place too!!!

    Absolutely love this little gem! Healthy fresh vegi spring rolls and love the pho when the weather cools off !!! Fast, friendly and always delicious!!! Nothing fancy just good fresh food

    1. Pork with Rice Noodles
    Mike L.

    Came by a Saturday at noon for some grub to go. Cozy restaurant with nice decor. No other patrons. Quick glance at their menu/pictures (on the wall) and decided on a couple pork with rice noodle bowls, spring rolls, and egg rolls. My order came out in decent time. Food was okay. Nothing really stood out. Spring rolls were mostly lettuce filled. Pork dishes were just okay. Egg rolls were decent. Sadly, a one and done experience for me.

    Popper in here craving pho and a summer roll. The tea light special (dine in only) is perfect. I very much enjoyed it all, choosing the steak pho for my soup. Great parking and nearby shopping by the theater. Appreciate that they give back to military service persons as well.

    Main restaurant area or you can sit outside under the individual table umbrellas or take the food go

    The casual environment and phenomenal consistent food at the tea. Café is exceptional. I'm not saying that from one visit. I've been eating here for well over a decade and enjoying every minute. Do you want casual experience with nice ambience in the venue, and food that touch the bar or the genre, he like Café is the place to come. It's quick, great value and the food rocks.

    #14 Beef Steamed Rice Plate
    Dwayne O.

    Tea Light Cafe Egg Rolls were nice and Crispy and had a dipping sauce, very good and recommend this appetizer. #14 Beef Steamed Rice Plate marinated beef or chicken or pork with jasmine rice, cucumbers, house made pickled carrots and cabbage. I chose the beef, which was a little stiff and dry, my wife selected the pork which she really liked. Was busy for a Saturday afternoon around 3 pm. We had tried this restaurant years ago and was without much impression, but enjoyed our experience. Just order the pork over the beef

    Pork vermicelli bowl was delicious!

    Service was quick and friendly. Dish was tasty, it's rare to find Viet restaurants with food vermicelli bowls nearby.

    In terms of Vietnamese food, this is not it. The pho broth is similar to great value chicken noodle soup.

I think that was a bit rude to withhold just the one order. It made it a bit awkward at the table. A couple tables that ordered after us were still served before the last guy in our party. My food was fine. However, their bahn mi has a giant cucumber slice that ruined the sandwich a bit. We're used to cucumber slices instead of a whole cucumber spear in the sandwich, but I guess that is just personal preference. The plate I ordered is probably not popular (#64) since she had to re-check the menu when I ordered. All of it tasted fine, though. No one ever came to refill our water or check in if we needed anything else. I'll probably pass on this place next time there is an invite. Maybe I'll try the other Vietnamese spot down the street near Popeye's the next time I get a hankering for some Pho or Bahn Mi.

While we looked at the menu, I couldn't decide what alcohol I wanted, spirit, beer, sake, wine, etc.. finally order sake bomb with Asahi and the bartender came over and let me sample one of the sours - just cause! I'm awesome! Thank you! Wish I had room to order!

The spring rolls were equally filling, flavorful, refreshing, and savory! Flavor explosion! The firecracker wings drenched in the spicy sauce was so good, we kept dipping some of our kids fries in the sauce! Lastly the Crispy Rice dish with filet, WOW! A bite of that, with some broth on the side. I couldn't easily swear it's one of the most savory dishes I've had in AZ. What a hidden gem! On top of this, as a parent, it's always stressful eating outside of your own home with your kiddos, but the staff/owners were so accommodating, I felt comfortable and grateful! They were so nice and my 3Yo is wild, but they didn't make us feel bad and they continued to smile and even give him a high five as we left. The location is clean and vibey, and we were all comfortable the whole time. So glad this fam came FOB in 1981 and hope they continue to rock it because they deserve it! What a great location and so glad we went. Can't wait to go back.
