I was surprised that this place is now more of a Vietnamese spot! Friendly service, fast preparation, clean restaurant. There is a cool room upstairs where it looks like they host live music. Didn't catch it this time around but it looks like a cool venue. -Highly recommend the pork rice platter, absolutely delicious! - The shrimp toast were very different than the Thai style I am used to, but quite good. Very strong sesame flavor. -The bread they use for the bahn mi here is PERFECTION, and overall I would say the sandwich was good. In my personal opinion (as a self-proclaimed bahn mi snob) I did feel the strong taste of the sauce on the chicken overwhelmed the flavor balance of the sandwich, which could be overcome by toning it down a little and/or having a stronger pickled flavor on the vegetable and more herbs to balance it out.

This place used to be amazing, and in my opinion they had the best egg roll in the city. They no longer even offer egg rolls, and it appears to be under new management as the entire menu is changed. I've tried a few dishes that I used to get all the time that are still on the changed menu and they just aren't good anymore. The fried rice also used to be good but now has a completely different flavor and texture. My recommendation is to stay away from this place. They don't deserve to keep the name of a once great restaurant.

One of my favorite local spots. I often come here alone and order some soup dumplings and cucumber salad and sit at the window and people watch. If you know you know. But most notably, their cucumber salad is 10/10! It is addicting and refreshing. Best in the city! My favorite!
