Overall for delivery* quality, the store has potential as dishes have great flavors. But there is definitely room for improvement 3.6/5 Grilled 5 Spiced Chicken Banh Mi 3.5/5 —Note that this is not your traditional Vietnamese banh mi as you see in their flavor profiles and ingredients. I ordered the 5 spice chicken which had great flavor, but the chicken was pretty dry. I feel it’s missing the fresh prickly crunch and sweet acidity of their carrot/daikon. Their pickled veggies are sliced pretty thin and lack in acid/flavor. Note there is no pate as well, one of my fave ingredients in a banh mi. The bread was good and you can tell of its freshness by fluffy softness. Note for delivery, the outer shell of the banh mi can get soggy due to the condensation build up during travel. I appreciated the sliced jalapeño for a layer of heat Crab Ragoon 4/5 is a nostalgic guilty pleasure of mine. It’s solid. Hit the spot. Kabli Short Ribs 3/5 — was a bit disappointing due to the quantity of meat. Don’t think it’s worth for the price. 7 pieces, some dominantly bone. A little dry and overcooked. Positive was the marinade was flavorful. Broths 4/5 are very flavorful a tad on the salty side, but a good pairing with the banh mi and rice . The broth option comes with your banh mi is their vegetarian broth 8 oz . A lot more lighter and ginger centric. I ordered a Side Of Broth beef which surprisingly came in a 32 oz container. Their side portions are worth the price Side Of Jasmine Rice came with 2 serving sizes! .

Very tasty Shrimp Fried Rice! Not super greasy like most fried rices. Simple and fresh.

The pho was not very good and for us thats the main attraction, its a bummer because the chicken sliders and ahi spring rolls we ordered were great!

Ordered the Gried Lemongrass Pork Shoulder Banh Mi and the portion for fries was surprisingly low. Ordering to go is always a bit of a shocker but this was pretty disappointing.

Egg rolls are fantastic and pho is super yummy!
