Damn, what a let down lol.. I know they try to promote northern style viet food but i found it all very bland and odd tasting. Not that i am viet nor an expert on the food but i've probably eaten at 100+ different viet places over my life, and this was a fall flat for sure.

I had the typical pho brisket and rare beef noodles, GF had the beef stew, and i had the meatball sandwhich. My soup was def the low point of the food, GF's beef stew was pretty tasty and the stewing beef was super tender albeit very fatty. Broth was good but nothing exceptional from the seemingly raving reviews i had been told

meatball sandwhich is served just with the french roll and the meatball sitting in a sauce it's presumabely cooked in, was very good but hard to mess up a meatball in a stewing broth and some fresh french bread.

When we showed up we waited about 10 minutes, by the itme we left people were probably waiting about 25-30. I wouldnt wait 5 if i was going to go back, esepcially with the options in the area.

5/10
