We come here periodically and the food never disappoints. Pho is always outstanding, the beef stew is great. Excellent choices on a cold day. Atmosphere is very laid back and the place is well decorated. I have had plenty of pho and the broth here is outstanding, not cloudy, the spices always come through and the taste is very flavorful. A little gem!

Good place, small so would be better with a smaller group of people. Sauce was great for the Spicy Cajun boil, really flavorful. The crawfish was frozen maybe off season. The Pho was not authentic, good for a cold day. Come for the boil dishes! Staff was friendly. Place was clean and comfortable.

Service with a smile! I was immediately greeted by two friendly employees. The woman who took our orders was super friendly and quite funny. I ordered the boiled shrimp bag which comes with potatoes and corn and is served in a delicious slightly spicy cajun sauce. The meal also comes with bread, and the server recommended dipping the bread. Took it to another level. For an appetizer we ordered egg rolls which were served with sweet chili sauce. Caution: Cut them open first so you don’t nuke your mouth. I learned the hard way. Prices are super reasonable for the quality of the food. My dining companion and I will definitely return.

Soooo happy we found this gem of a place! The Cajun seafood boil is exactly what will fulfill your seafood cravings, without breaking the bank! It fed the 3 of us just fine, plus we wanted to throw in a banh mi and some Cajun fries so we wouldn’t fight over our meal ha ha! The menu seemed to have something for everyone. Cute crawfish decor, some long tables, gloves and shell crackers are provided, so all you need to have a good time is your appetite. See the menu and check it out for yourself!

Noticed this restaurant while in the area and decided to dine in here. Not a large nor small dining area, it did have a lot of seating available. Staff were attentive, courteous, and friendly. Service was fast, but we were the only customers the entire time we dined there. Banh Mi sandwiches were very delicious, flavorful, and filling; we got both the grilled pork and short ribs sandwiches. Cajun shrimp (in bag, with potato, corn, sausage, garlic butter Cajun sauce) was flavorful, delicious, and not too spicy. Spicy level can be requested to your liking. Vietnamese coffee (hot) was very good and satisfying.

Cajun seafood boil was so good! We got crawfish, snow crab legs, mussels, and clams in our boil which also came with potatoes, corn, sausage, and bread. If you love seafood, garlic and tons of seasoning this will be up your alley. The restaurant itself is a little small, with only 3 long tables, but we had no issues getting a seat on Friday night. Service was really friendly and we will definitely be back to try some of the Vietnamese menu options.
