What diners are saying
Celebrated for its authentic and reasonably priced Vietnamese cuisine, diners rave about the flavorful beef pho, which is packed with high-quality meat, and the standout shaking beef special. Guests frequently highlight the cozy, intimate atmosphere, though they note the small space can get busy and tables are close together. While service is generally described as fast, reviewers strongly advise coming prepared with cash, as the restaurant is cash-only for dine-in.
