Was not good at all. I came here because I went to get my nails done next door. I thought it'd be a cool local banh mi place but service and food was terrible. First off the menu is all over the place and quite pricey for a small simple place. The cashier was not friendly at all. Paid $6 for a banh mi with bread so hard that my jaw was sore the next from chewing on GOD. the beef was very greasy and was definitely just reheated. They also threw in like 10 whole stalks of cilantro i don't get why like? it just was not a good experience and i really wanted to like it since it is locally owned but nah they don't really care for the quality soooo i don't really care either

Good ol fashioned local Vietnamese joint serving the basics here. It's not at the NW Mall, if you search by name it shows NW Mall but if you search for viet it shows it's on gessner. It's indeed on Gessner road @ Philippine. I don't think the food or drinks will blow anyone's mind but I dig these small mom and pop shops. They even have a small snack rack that's cheaper than the gas station at the other end. I found the place on accident, glad I did instead of waiting 2 hours at other places during the great snow storm of 2021.

After two visits to this nearby newly opened restaurant I am not impressed. The first visit was for a take out dinner that included an order of spring rolls ($3) and a chicken banh mi ($3.69). I liked the spring rolls as they were fresh and had a good taste. The banh mi bread seemed a little stale and was definitely not fresh. Since the bread is very important to me this was disappointing. I decided before writing a review that I would return to give them another chance.About a week later I dined in for dinner and ordered the steamed rice with charbroiled sliced beef for $7.25. When the meal came out about 10 minutes later I immediately noticed that some of the beef was cool in temperature. I asked that it be returned and could hear it being placed in a microwave for reheating and then the microwave's bell announcing its finish. The food was returned to me in about 3 minutes and was hot. However, most of the meat was chewy. One of my last bites had some bone cartilage in it adding that crunchy sound. I finished the meal but left disappointed.I must admit that prices here are reasonable and the counter service was friendly however neither meal warranted a 3 in my mind. I can't say it's A-OK so I have to give a 2.

Just starting working around the corner from here and wanted a smoothie. I decided to get some shrimp as well. They were accommodating to serve it as a shrimp salad. I got a smoothie to go along with it. Everything was fresh and delicious. I've been going back for the smoothies almost every day!

This place just opened up next to my go to nail salon so I thought I would give them a try. My twins were disappointed they didn't have Pho here so they settled for egg rolls. I ordered the Thai tea Tapioca and BBQ pork with egg roll vermicelli. This all totaled to be about $17 bucks. The service was ok. The two different guys who brought our order out forgot a straw for my drink and utensils for my food. The staff were friendly though. Thai tea 5/5. The sweetness was just right. The boba was not too chewy or hard. Egg rolls 3/5. They were over cooked. They actually tasted almost burnt. The filling lacked ingredients there was hardly any pork or shredded carrots, black fungus inside. I've been told I make pretty darn awesome home made Vietnamese egg rolls. Fish sauce 3/5. It wasn't clear in color and did not have good flavor. Maybe needed a little more sweetness and less regular salt with added fish sauce. BBQ pork Vermicelli with egg roll 3/5. The noodles and veggies were fresh. The pork however was not. It looked and tasted like it was reheated in the microwave more than once. The texture was hard and the meat was dry. The marinade on the meat was not tasty. I think I would just come back for the drinks here in the future. Because I did enjoy the Thai tea with boba I ordered. They do have a punch card for drinks.

The fact that there are hardly any customers here allows the staff to get the orders out pretty quickly. I probably waited only 5 minutes for a steamed rice plate with beef. You can also get takeout or delivery, so if you're looking for a healthier fast(ish) food, this is a great location to consider.I don't know why this Vietnamese restaurant serves burgers, fries, and fried chicken. Probably to appeal to people who don't feel like going to the Whataburger/Wendy's about a mile up the beltway. I still feel like it's unnecessary though.

Well Dec. 24,2023 my wife and I left the nail shop I stooped in and got me a mango and coconut smoothie from this place the service is good the ambiance is nice. But that's smoothie made me sick sick sick my wife and I stopped by Fiesta to pickup something's we needed the smoothie just didn't taste right it was like old dish water smell so I threw it away. Needless to say I spent Christmas and New Year throwing up with the runs all day long soup,crackers and Gatorade was my best friend so I don't think I will never ever go there again that's just how I feel.

The tea was way to good for a cheap price. And might I add that the service was amazing and fast. But it also had a very calm, relaxed, and decorative atmosphere.

I was in the area and was craving the grilled pork meal with some white rice and egg rolls. I ordered it for pickup and ate it in the car haha, it didn't even make it home, because it was so good. I highly recommend this place. The flavors are there!
