In Short
This open restaurant features wood-trimmed windows, skylights and bright green ceiling tiles--as well as some of the tastiest noodle soup in the city at rock-bottom prices. Starters spring rolls and salad rolls paired with a traditional peanut sauce that's a bit redder than most. Other delights include rice-flour crepes stuffed with shrimp, pork, mung beans and onions; char-grilled pork loin with pork rind and egg-pork patty; and vermicelli with char-grilled skewers of shrimp.

The ambiance is typical american pan asian - black gloss carved wooden structures and fishes. The food while cheap is average, not bad just unremarkable. Service was polite and average. If i lived in the area I would go back for take-out when I couldn't think of anything better.

Super good pho. Great service and I think well priced. A huge bowl of pho for $7 is a great deal if you ask me. My husband and I both ate till we were full and spent less than $25. I will definitely go back.

the only thing about this place is the service, ambiance and three color drink, everything else is overpriced and below par. my sister and i ordered a pho and some other dishes like salad and rice. starting with the pho, it was raw, which is expected, but the soup was cold! how can you possibly enjoy a good bowl of cold pho? the rice dish was good, but the meat was on the chewier side with LOTS of char marks all over. it was "blackened" above and beyond the norm for our tastes. the best thing was the three color dessert, but even that was super sweet. at nearly 4 dollars a cup, you are definitely not getting your money's worth.
