Reviews
Wonderful selection of Vietnamese food inside an Asian market. Brings back memories of my childhood going shopping with my mom. The young lady at the counter was very friendly and helpful with my checkouts. Will definitely come back.
I love this place, a little gem that I found by coincidence. They sell the best snacks and healthy herbal teas.
Authentic and good. A local favorite. The food is always hot and fresh everytime I go. There is a great selection of groceries too.
Good selection of Asian produce and frozen goods, including baos, green onion pancake, dumplings, and more. The pho and vermicelli were also quite good. I hadn't been around Asian groceries for some time, and definitely loaded up on the necessities - rice wine vinegar, oyster sauce, etc. Prices are quite reasonable.
I highly recommend this Vietnamese deli. I ordered pho, bun bo hue, and banh mi. All three were delicious. I came in just thinking it was going to be a regular Vietnamese cuisine order, but my taste buds went to town and partied! The BBH was sooooooo good, you just have to try it. The pho was really good as well. The banh mi, I was so surprised because it had a different bread, but I think the bread is what made it really good. It was flaky and buttery. I would definitely go again when I'm visiting in town. The service is very direct. I recommend knowing what you want before you go up and get yelled at by the lady taking orders. She definitely knows what she's doing, just know your order so you're not standing in line taking up the speed they're going. The ambiance reminded me of a hole in the wall. It's a deli cafeteria inside of an Asian grocers, so don't expect anything fancy!
