First time here based on the high rating reviewed, we ordered 2 noodles and one spring rolls. During the checkout, we were told the total bill of $38.82 without seeing the bill. My wife's good with the number and asked for a bill, she then apologized for adding $1.5 on the bill.Make sure you ask for the bill, also, this place does not accept credit cards, they gave us some excuses the credit card machine only accepts certain Visa cards.We have tried Chase and BOA without any luck and ended up paying cash. Based on the fake reviews and trying to cheat us on the bill, no one going back this place !!

I found three hairs in the middle of my food: two gray pube or maybe beard hairs and one small black hair. I won't be able to eat here again.Leaving review here just in case since owners can pay to have Yelp reviews removed.

We ordered online for pickup on 12/19/21 and we were maybe 5 minutes later than the official pickup time. It didn't matter because apparently the order didn't go through anyway in their system.They started to scramble because our order wasn't ready so we told them we'd just dine in instead (which is cheaper.) Somehow they had our order but just hadn't made it, as we didn't get menus, but they still brought us the foods we choose eventually.The spring rolls are not gluten free as they have fried crispy bits that I didn't notice until I took a bite. My husband ended up eating them because I have Celiac and can't eat gluten, which would be in the crispy bits.I had brisket pho and I could see that they sprinkled ground pepper over the top, which I've never seen before. The broth was really mediocre and that's the first time I've not finished a bowl of pho from a restaurant.I don't think I'd recommend this place for pho specifically.

Walked in. Only two tables occupied. Not directed to sit for at least 5 minutes. Ordered Pho. Served in about 10 minutes. Soap was Luke warm at best, and very flavorless. Seemed like added water to make up the volume. Server never came by. I had to go to counter to ask for a cup of water and the check. Not a pleasant experience at all. Will not revisit.

Don't know why I didn't stop at this place sooner! It's located in a residential street a couple of blocks down from the busier commercial area. It's across from Palen martial arts, more or less. The food was great. We liked everything we had. Thought the pineapple rice could have more flavor, but that wasn't a big deal since everything else was so good, including the pink lemonade. Must try the dessert! Service was great. The ladies were very attentive. Adding this place to our restaurant rotation.

Nice vietnamese food in the neighborhood. The spring rolls are delicious. The pho broth is awesome and the noodles are perfectly cooked. The meat in the soup could be more tender.

I've ordered from here numerous times and every time I convince myself that I'll be satisfied with my food. The truth is, it's either a hit or miss here.at least with the vietnamese sandwiches. Ive ordered different days of the week and different times of day, their sandwich goodness is never consistent. Some days the chicken is cold and hard with little flavor to teriyaki sauce. Some days the veggies are scarce in the roll. And just today, i was missing the most important ingredient, avocado!Hopefully a staff member or cook looks at this and improves their sandwiches.

Salmon Bahn Mi is amazing. We get it on the way to the A's game all the time

I popped in for a quick bite to eat after arriving in the area. I wanted something I could eat while watching a gorgeous sunset and Lotus Leaf deliciously delivered. I ordered the tofu summer rolls and orange chicken from the vegetarian menu. The summer rolls were some of the best I have ever had. The flavor of the tofu was indescribable. The vegetarian orange chicken came in big nuggets with the sauce on the side. The sauce was flavor without being overly sweet or salty, with the right amount of spice. The only downside is that rice does not come with the entree, it has to be ordered separately. While it didn't bother me, it might someone else. I'll definitely be back when in the area.

Great Banh Mi! I can recommend the grilled pork. It was very tasty.
