Description

Beyond the giant-rib pho, the kitchen turns out a deeply flavorful vegan broth that wins praise from former meat-eaters, alongside classic banh mi and papaya salad. Starters include tofu summer rolls perfect for sharing. For mains, the lemongrass pork chop comes paired with meatloaf. The space balances a clean, homey dining room with a tiki bar vibe, where traditional Vietnamese coffee is served in playful glasses. A sweet aroma wafts onto the street to draw you in, and the friendly service keeps the neighborhood atmosphere low-key and welcoming.
