Cannot say enough about how delicious this place is! The rice bowls are my favorite but I would recommend their garlic fries, Pho, fish tacos, chicken skewers, just to name a few. Not to mention the DIRTY HORCHATA! The best invention ever! Just bummed that they are not open on Mondays when I need the Dirty Horchata the most . Super friendly service staff and the owner is incredibly kind and loves what she does. Highly recommend! They also have an event center next door where they cater private parties!

Very cool fusion joint. Food is on point and has a nice selection on its unique menu. I would definitely love to go back. Staff was super attentive and very helpful if you had any questions about the menu. My kids were very intrigued with the robotic machine that brings us our food. Very cool touch to the place. Soup is on !

My husband and I had a spontaneous lunch here and it surprised us! We shared several items. Hubby ordered the Bahn Mi and the Pho Burrito with the pho dipping broth. The burrito was FIRE we totally didn’t expect it to be that good. The Bahn Mi had a sweet sauce on the bread that was amazing! I ordered the shrimp spring rolls and the shrimp tasted so fresh and perfectly seasoned/cooked. I also had chicken pho that was great! Nice staff! We’ll def be back.

Very friendly staff, very attentive. They create a very welcoming environment and they have excellent customer service. The atmosphere goes alongside with the delicious tasting food. Second visit and again was very satisfied. I definitely recommend this place if for a chill night out or even date night.

I came here with my wife for lunch. I’ve never been here before. I had a Vietnamese Ham Bahn Mi and Jovita had a Grilled Pork Bahn Mi. We ordered a side of garlic fries and shared them. For our beverages, I had a Strawberry Lemonade Fizz and Jovita had a Passion Fruit Mango Tea. I also had a white wine sangria. The food here is amazing! I was a bit put off when our server said she couldn’t serve alcohol and that I would have to order something else. I asked why and she said that it was because she was underage. So I dismissed it and ordered a non alcoholic beverage. Moments later after we were completely served, I noticed another server bringing over two beers to patrons. This really annoyed me. I stopped the server and asked what time did you start serving alcohol?? Apparently, it was a misunderstanding between her and the underage server. This made the difference between leaving two stars and five stars! So, I got my Sangria and all is forgiven.

I don’t see how this place doesnt have 5 stars its so amazing! I just celebrated my 21st birthday here and I was blown away! Allllll of the workers here are so sweet and patient. The energy there was so amazing and so was all the decorations :,) It feels like a place that belongs in La or San Fran because its just way too amazing for the 209! My whole family loved the food there was absolutely zero complaints! (mind you my family is so picky). I definitely can’t recommend eating here enough
