    The spring rolls are amazing, esp. the house peanut sauce. The owner Minh loves chatting & will learn your name. A variety of clientele in the best way - students, professionals, firefighters, artists

    Pho-nominal bread on the sandwiches. The Pho is quite good as well. Very good vegetarian options make it an office favorite.
