Joe BuckleyFebruary 18, 2011Great spot, super cheap lunch and the owner is great. I refer to him as the vietnamese don knots. Very nice and funny guy. I'm happy to patronize his place anytime. And the food is good. I love #38.UpvoteDownvote

Curtis ShoungNovember 9, 2015Nope. Pho noodles were wrong, broth didn't have enough flavor, grilled pork was lacking... If you're from the Bay Area this won't do.UpvoteDownvote
#1 is hands down the best! Love the owner!!UpvoteDownvote

"Tasty, delicious 'n quick Taiwanese style bubble tea. Things tend to sell out by the end of the night. During summer I like the unsweetened green tea (iced) with tapioca - subtly sweet and refreshing."
