    Quite simply the best, most authentic Vietnamese meal we have had outside Vietnam. Fantastic selection & variety. Hostess was fantastic! On her own, serving all tables and making all drinks, but was still really friendly and very efficient! Most impressive! It's a small place, and it does get very hot, but would definitely go back. Soon!
