This is one of my favorite places to grab a great bit of food. I really like the Beef Stew Baguette. It's great to share or just a meal on its own. The Jasmine Lime Ice Tea is very refreshing or you can indulge from a great selection of beers and wines! Highly recommend giving this place a try, I have always enjoyed anything from the menu!

This is the second time we visited but we arrived shortly after 4:30 to find the place ready for lock up. My Mrs. asked if it was still open, but there was hesitation from the staff, and said to-go only -- there was nowhere to sit since everything was inside. I know, my rule is generally if I place has chairs flipped it means it's closed, but my Mrs. persisted and we took it to go. Big mistake. We sat at the nearby tables - outside of the restaurant's enclosure - eating the food almost instantly, so zero travel time. I ordered the pork belly ban mi and it was nothing but fat. Like, huge chunks of fat with zero meat. When I pulled it apart it was essentially half a sandwich of meat and the rest of it was fat - which I threw out. I had eaten the sandwich before so I thought, no big deal. Big mistake. The food tasted funny and within 30 minutes of eating half the sandwich I was home in my bathroom throwing up. My advice: show up early and with ample time since last time it took 30 minutes to get our food served and it all came at once: apps and entrees. But for me it's done. You can't expect me to return for that subpar service and even more horrendous food. My Mrs. got the pork vermicelli and everything was super wet when it came out, veggies were limp, and the vermicelli cut up to pieces. She threw out 2/3 of it since it was also inedible. Won't be returning. Update: Both my Mrs and I got food poisoning and she had the pork - we had two different types of pork and same result.
