I been coming to this restaurant for many years. It was my first ever experience with Vietnamese food! Their food is great and fast. I am sad to say that today the service was not good. ( I'll give them that the place was a little busy) It is a typical Vietnamese restaurant. I love their Pho soup. It is a quiet and pleasant place. A lot of group and family tables. I'll continue to come here...

Great place for a work day lunch. Fast and big portions. My bf and I only ate half our dishes and are looking forward to eating our leftovers. Prices are bit high but not bad considering 2 meals is really 4 by portion size. Staff is kind and prompt!

This was an amazing find! It was just a short walk and I almost passed the location since the signage is minimal. The service was quick and polite. The interior is dated, but clean. The food came out hot and fresh. The flavors were there and just what I wanted.

We were in the mood to try something Asian with vegetarian options and this restaurant has a menu section for vegetarians, so we came here. First, you guys need a bigger entrance door!! The small entrance is so easy to miss or to mistake for an employee or back entrance. The restaurant is actually very spacious inside, but you'd hardly figure that out from the outside. Our hotel is close by so we walked. If you need parking, there are parking structures around. They seemed to be short-staffed as the chefs were also helping out with serving at times and it was hard to flag down our specific server, who seemed to be among 3 servers managing about 15 full tables and a bar. We ordered the veggie garden spring rolls, the veggie banh mi, the bun xao ga (rice vermicelli with chicken), the goi ga (chicken and cabbage salad), the mi goi xao dac biet (house special ramen egg noodles with shrimp, chicken and pork) and the honeydew and green tea boba teas. Everything was pretty mild with regards to spice level. My parents enjoyed the garden rolls and the veggie banh mi. Just a FYI: the veggie ham tastes nothing like real ham, but the sandwich itself was a banh mi. It is a pretty small size so one person can definitely eat the whole thing. The bun xao ga was nice but not exactly the spicy dish I was promised. The chicken in it was a little chewy. I asked for their homemade chili oil and had to douse my dish in about 30% of the contents to get the spice I was looking for. I didn't get it fully but it definitely tasted a little spicier. This is a great dish if you want mild flavors. My brother inhaled the goi ga. He liked it and appreciated that there were lots of veggies to balance the chicken. His ramen was also very good with the exception of spice. He doused his ramen in siracha sauce to get the kick he wanted. I loved the boba teas. The boba was soft and easily melted in the mouth when you bit into it. The honeydew was quite sweet and the green tea had a bit of an earthy taste, which was exactly what we were going for. Price wise, we paid about $80 for the whole meal, which I think is quite reasonable for downtown Cleveland. All in all, this was a good experience but I'd really like them to kick the spice level up when we ask for it....and that entrance....please figure out a way to get a more visible entrance!
