Food: Compromised taste and freshness

The egg rolls are crisp, the bun bo hue is magical, and the BBQ pork has a nice charbroiled taste, but they can't erase complaints about bland, dry, and overcooked dishes. Combined with dry, old ingredients that lack flavor, these issues undercut the restaurant's food quality. The small portions just rub salt in the wound, and limited menu choices do nothing to cheer up customers. However, the pricing is geared for the budget-conscious.

  • Great Value

    Excellent choice for budget-conscious without sacrificing flavor.

  • Okay Taste

    Some variability in food quality; good and bad days for different dishes.

  • Low Quality

    Food sometimes appears dry, old, and lacking flavor, diminishing overall freshness.

Vibe: Dispiriting decor and ambiance

The outdated decor and dirty appearance cast a cloud over the entire dining experience. The ambiance is clearly not the restaurant's strong suit. Few things dampen the mood more than a shabby, cheap interior.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Dirty, cheap appearance and outdated decor detract from mood.

Perks: Aggravating parking but great for groups

Attempting to park at this restaurant can be a test of patience due to its limited space and tiny shared lot. However, the spot shines when it comes to hosting parties with excellent food and pricing. Additionally, the service is commendably friendly and prompt.

  • Great For Groups

    Regularly chosen for parties, always with great food and pricing.

  • Hard To Park

    Parking very limited, often requiring street parking; tiny shared lot.
