Meat eaters will enjoy chili-garlic chicken, lemongrass pork, or a five-spice chicken salad.

Owner Nhi Mundy’s take on the cuisine has been featured in Zagat, Food & Wine, and the New York Times.

“Delicious lunch and friendly staff with outside seating. Even though it was 90 degrees out the chicken pho was refreshing, especially after our hike at Prompton State Park. I also got the pork tacos and my wife got the tofu bahn mi and were spectacular. Fantastic marinade on the pork!”

“The space is awesome, super cute bathroom. Decor is on point as you would expect from the owner! Clean and well kept. The staff is super friendly, and helpful. The food is terrific. As good or better than any place in the city I’ve tried.”
