We went as soon as they opened at 11am on a Monday (closed Tuesdays). There was only one group dining so our party of 4 was promptly seated. Service was friendly and attentive enough. Ordered the A1- spring rolls, A2 - egg rolls, F2 - chicken fried rice, PH1 - House special beef noodle soup, S4 - vermicelli & lemon grass beef, mango shake, Vietnamese coffee, regular hot tea, and honey ginger tea. A1 & A2 - 3.5 stars, good had better, not salty, individual dips were tasty, PH1 - 4.5 stars, broth was so good, I detected slight gamey wafts from the meats, which was fixed by the sprigs of basil & mint leaves, lime, and jalapeño slices S4 - 5 stars - the charbroiled lemon grass beef complimented the vermicelli, carrots, cucumbers, and crushed peanuts. Mango shake - 2 stars overly sweet and artificial mango flavor. Honey ginger tea - 5 stars - perfect sweetness with fresh julienned ginger. Vietnamese coffee -5++ stars - bold and strong, quadruple punches to your face. Woke me up as I sat there. Had to ask for side of ice to go as I leisurely enjoyed my drink while driving back home. Lots of free parking.
We ordered takeout. I got tofu fried rice and my husband got a vermicelli plate. My rice was good with lots of veggies but the tofu was a little overcooked. My husband preferred the rice plate to his dish. For the price it’s a decent place to eat and our food was ready in a timely manner.
This is just what the doctor ordered. This restaurant has a beautiful menu, but I had to go for the old standby my favorite beef.Pho!! It was delicious and I ordered my favorite café sua da or Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk. This is perfect because Vietnamese food often times because of the noodles and some of the fat Ynez tends to put you in carb crash or food, territory, so the coffee wakes you right up. The spring rolls or as I know them as Gua cuon I absolutely delicious and incredibly beautiful appetizer. This is exactly why I love Vietnamese food. It’s straight to the point and you never have to wait very long. The flavor can be customized with everybody’s favorite Sriracha sauce, which I did and I added peppers to mine I’m currently enjoying the environment as it’s really nice to sit in here and just relax.
Great Viet restaurant in town. Parking was smooth and I was quickly seated once stepped inside the restaurant. Ordered a bowl of Dry Noodles. Did satisfy my hanger after that bowl. Took one star off as there was a fly disturbing my enjoyment.
Great food and fast service! The egg rolls were crispy and the fried chicken was good. The pho was rich with flavor and the noodles were soft and silky! Will definitely be back!
