We were in the area so we stopped by for lunch. We found parking a couple blocks away. Service was fast. Iced Vietnamese coffee was good. I appreciate the portion sizes. Garlic noodles were great. Shrimp was grilled well.

The dinner vibes here are very chill. We came around 7:30 on a Wednesday and were seated immediately. The windows looking out onto Piedmont Ave are beautiful, the restaurant is clean, and it is quiet enough to enjoy a conversation. We ordered the vegetarian noodle soup and pork chop rice plate. Plus a free Thai iced tea from checking in on Yelp. The Thai iced tea was on the sweet side but the flavor and richness hit. The vegetarian noodle soup had a variety of several types of tofu, charred vegetables, and a flavorful broth that was not too salty. There are 3 noodle choices for the soups — thin “pho-style” rice noodles, flat rice noodles, and thin egg noodles. The pork chop was huge, thin-cut, juicy, and had a nice char flavor. There were several layers of meat on the plate! The pork came with some simple veg, fluffy rice, and an acidic dipping sauce. Prices were affordable — our dinner came out to less than $18 each including tax.

The best Vietnamese I’ve found in the East Bay. Highly recommend the Pork Bahn Mi — the bread is the perfect balance between a crunchy exterior and soft interior, the pork is well cooked with an almost smokey flavor, and the aioli that ties it all together was an incredible addition.

We celebrated my daughter’s graduation with a small amount of friends of 12 people, everyone of us loved our individual order, & the drinks were delicious!! We all not only had a good time, but had wonderful service by everyone of the staff ! Thanks Sandi, Juliet & Kevin. It was a memorable experience that we will never forget ❤️

If you’re in the mood for some authentic Vietnamese cuisine, look no further than this hidden gem of a restaurant! Their fried chicken wings are to die for – crispy, flavorful and with a perfect hint of five spice. The vermicelli egg rolls are also a must-try, with a satisfying crunch in every bite.

Amazing! My main go-to eatery on Piedmont Avenue. The menu is full of great choices and have recently added vegetarian options. I like to get the combination rice plate and spicy beef noodle. The staff are exceptional too and work very hard to tend to their customers.

I love every food authentic. I just tried the vegetarian pho. I was disappointed. Too greasy couldn’t eat more a few spoon. Other people love the place. Has great reviews. My last time there. Waiter is very nice but I go for food first, service 2nd and ambiance in combination with service.

Very tasty! Our server let me order a bahn mi with vegan meat & tofu. We ordered the spring rolls & egg rolls and both were good. They have a couple desert drinks that I want to come back for, one with red bean & coconut milk, the other with lychee & jelly. Will definitely come back!
