"What a charming, welcoming, friendly place. When you approach the counter, you can see into the kitchen, and immediately I felt that authentic home cooking vibe. The staff was really nice and explained everything. You can select the buffet or items from the menu. I think I arrived shortly after the hour. There were a lot of business / office people just finished and left as I arrived. It seems very popular. When I arrived and asked for a table, I was advised to choose what I wanted before I sat down. Of course I had to try the tofu and vegetable pho. I was looking for a place to sit and was really pleasantly surprised by the decoration and style. I appreciated the warmth and the cozy home like the restaurant. There's a piano in the corner, and a little Buddha. The paintings on the wall 'Vietnam Style '. The Pho arrived and I wasn't dissapointed. It tasted great. A beautiful large bowl filled with rice noodles, carrots, red onions, tofu and a mint and chili shrimp. The broth was also very aromatic and not too salty. After meal, I was recommended to have Vietnamese coffee. It was also very nice and it came with the coffee still filtering into the glass. I always love when it's served. Art, theatre and food are a great combination. After that I went down to use the bathroom, and to my surprise there was another dining room. The restaurant is much bigger than outside. The bathrooms were very clean and melt fresh. 5 stars round. Card payments accepted."
