Great vibe. Super hospitality Summer rolls were so fresh Bun with grilled pork so good Couldn’t finish- so much food French onion soup was so flavorful

Alesia has a nice outdoor patio and a basic indoor dining area. We came in and sat down at the patio our self. I ordered an IPA beer, summer roll, egg roll, grilled pork banh mi, Vietnamese salad and pho. Beer: Ghost IPA beer was good and has good depth, great job on the beer Pork banh mi: the bread of the banh mi was very crispy and that is rare in most places, and they have it right with the bread. The grilled meat was very flavorful and the banh mi was very good. I would return just for the banh mi only. It is a very basic banh mi so don’t expect too much. Vietnamese salad: the only thing I thought it was food about this 18 dollar salad was the grilled shrimp which you get 5 shrimp in the salad. You can’t really called this a Vietnamese salad if it doesn’t have mint leaves or the fish sauce. I would not order this again because it wasn’t a Vietnamese salad like I would expected. Please called this a shrimp Roman salad, it kind of misleading. Summer roll: this one is just basic and nothing to rave about. The peanut sauce lacks of flavor and they don’t give you siracha to add to the peanut sauce to give it the kick to the peanut sauce dipping. Egg rolls: this one is decent but not good. Wouldn’t order this again. Not much filling to the egg rolls. Pho: pho is the star of the show for any Vietnamese restaurant. 16.50 for a small bowl of pho and didn’t come with bean sprout or Thai basil. They offered me hoisin sauce and chili sauce but no siracha. When I asked if there was any bean sprout the cook who brought me pho said that they don’t have it… I said ok.. that was it. Pho broth was very dark and very sweet. The only reason the broth is dark is because they use more beef powder than using beef bone. I tasted this pho and wanted to like it but the lacks of flavor and how sweet it was It was not good. The pho broth lacks the smell of star anise and other various spices like coriander and cinnamon. Also the noodles were chop up into pieces which was annoying and hard to eat. I hope you guys get your pho broth right because it isn’t good. It’s like drinking sugar water instead of a flavorful beef broth pho.

Amazing food & friendly service. I have been here many times over the years and it never disappoints. Not only does the food look delicious, but the taste exceeds expectations. Give this place a try if you are a foodie, you will be happy you did.

The food is great, the vibe is so cute! Got the pho and the mademoiselle, so good and would definitely come back
