Eugene BOctober 30, 2014Pho. Grilled chicken over vermicelli. All good. Great value. Romantic ambiance. Who knew a pot of bamboo at the entrance could make such a difference? Hands down favorite Vietnamese spot in the area.Upvote1Downvote

Zach MaierMarch 13, 2013A solidly average (if not slightly above average) restaurant. If you're looking for a place to grab a bite, it's perfectly satisfying. I'd come here again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to do so.UpvoteDownvote

I had their rice vermachelli with beef and it was very tasty and a lot cheaper than cbao. Their pho is pretty decent too. Overall it's a pretty good and decently priced for Chelsea district.
