We came because we want soup and a taste of Pho. The place nest on a commercial area on the corner. It looks small but they do have an exclusive outside dining. Inside is clean and cozy and very traditional to their culture. The staff always has a smile and is fast to get your order. We got our order reasonably on time. Again, the flavor is perfect. Temperature is perfect and presentation too. We enjoyed our appetizer fried chicken and spring roll. We enjoyed our pho and lemon grass flavor bbq with rice. Tea is good too. Parking is up front with ramps. Coming back again for sure.
Been coming here as much as I can and I’m from Texas. It’s amazing how after 3 or 4 visits the owner even remembers your name. Even when it takes me months to go back. Super positive atmosphere. Totally recommend this place.
I don’t live in Chesapeake but if I did, I would be a regular here. You can smell the delicious food being prepared as you’re sitting there. I was impressed, this place is on point. After a long day at the beach I was starving. Great service and bomb authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Everything we ordered was so good. Portions were generous and we were satiated. This was the best Nước chấm I have had from any restaurant in VA thus far. Meats were perfectly cooked and had that tasty char. The lemongrass flavor was infused throughout the chicken. Taro boba was good. We were a large party of 7 and everyone was happy, kids included. This Vietnamese spot is fire 🔥. Don’t sleep on this restaurant, even though it may not look like much from the exterior.
I am familiar with the Northern Suffolk location, but my mom and I decided to try this location out. Everyone was friendly and the atmosphere was lively. I tried their stuffed grape leaves (The one in Northern Suffolk doesn’t have them), and they were good. They definitely have more menu options to choose from. I can’t wait to visit them again.
Food was awesome. I loved the wraps. Chesapeake is an awesome getaway location for me and I never hesitate to visit. Update 2025 During our most recent visit the service standard had dropped. My spouse was almost done with his meal while mine was yet to be served because it was forgotten. Our table was only checked once during our meal while other diners received more attention. We were only asked if we enjoyed the meal when we were paying to which we responded "it was okay". Not sure we will visit this location again but hey the food is still okay
