Tea Light Cafe

I met a friend for lunch. This is a cozy little cafe serving good tasting Vietnamese food. The menu is posted on the wall. Order at the front, pay and have a seat. Your food is delivered shortly.We ordered vermicelli (bun) noodles with chicken and the other with beef. Their egg rolls are either meat or vegetarian. This dish is considered a salad and is served cold or sometimes lukewarm. If this is not your liking they will warm up the noodles. Everything is very fresh. The separate bowl of fish sauce is a bit different than the typical and still good. A very tasty lunch! Shared parking lot.

Granddaughter yearned for Vietnamese spring rolls so I remembered there was this place that was close enough. Ordered spring rolls 3 for $11. Two orders one for her and one for me. Big mistake. The rolls arrived with 1/2 shredded carrots, 1/2 lettuce with a few pieces of tofu. No cilantro to be found or mint anywhere. When I asked the chef said "there's a little bit in there". Not true or acceptable. Cilantro and mint are key to a good spring roll. This is not my first rodeo with spring rolls; I know what good is. I should have requested one order first and then I would have known NOT TO ORDER A SECOND FAILED DISH. the accompanying brown sauce which I thought was peanut sauce was some kind of version of something. Tasted like a type of hoisin sauce and sprinkling a few peanuts on top does not make it peanut sauce. I had also ordered a Vegetable PHO with tofu and cilantro, green onions, a few bean sprouts and jalapeños. Very fresh tasting but the broth had no depth so it was just passable. The people who work here are very nice, polite and friendly. Unfortunately the product does not live up to the staff.

Tea Light CafeEgg Rolls were nice and Crispy and had a dipping sauce, very good and recommend this appetizer. #14 Beef Steamed Rice Plate marinated beef or chicken or pork with jasmine rice, cucumbers, house made pickled carrots and cabbage. I chose the beef, which was a little stiff and dry, my wife selected the pork which she really liked. Was busy for a Saturday afternoon around 3 pm. We had tried this restaurant years ago and was without much impression, but enjoyed our experience. Just order the pork over the beef

I went with a friend last week after a movie at the Harkins nearby. The egg rolls and spring rolls were very good, but the pho was not as good as it used to be. If I go again it would be for the spring rolls and egg rolls only.

This place is located at a great location, in the same plaza as the Harkins 101 movie theater. A good spot to come to before or after watching a movie! I've been here a few times, and I can say that even though their menu is a bit on the smaller side, what they offer is mighty in taste, quality, and flavor. Their pho broth, spring rolls, and egg rolls are standard in taste and up to par with larger Vietnamese establishments. I recently had the pleasure of trying out their marinated grilled pork chops and it was delicious. The pork chops had great flavoring, runs a bit on the sweeter side, but not overwhelmingly so, the pickled cabbage and carrots that came with it nicely balanced out the flavors. The meat was also not too tough or too chewy, it wasn't too dry either which is always a fear when ordering pork chop anywhere. If you've never had boba before, I recommend trying boba from this place. They offer friendly introductory flavors. If you're looking for not too sweet recommendations, then I would suggest either the taro or mango flavor! Overall, this establishment offers a casual dining ambience friendly for all ages, whether you are dining alone or with a group of family/friends.

$15 for the beef & rice with no eggrolls I'm really disappointed with portions and just look at the sad salad. Like who wants to enjoy cabbage salad? I should've just stuck with Thai Coconut because their lunch menu is much more affordable with more portions smhThe beef was tasty though & that's the only reason why I rated it 2 stars!

I've been going here for many years. You get huge servings for a solid price and it's quite the hearty meal. Healthy, yummy and simple. Recommend!

The place is tiny but delightful. The service has been great each time. But the broth on the Pho is so good I think it might even have healing powers! I love it!

Came for lunch....been craving spring rolls. Was on my way back to the office. Location is convenient. Service was great. Spring rolls were just ok. Hoping for a little more flavor. When the weather cools down I'll be back for some phô.

Ordered chicken pho and spring rolls with shrimp. They were both delicious. Love this place.
