"I have been dining at this restaurant since 2001, when I used to meet my mom here for lunch. Back then, I was a fan of their pork chops over rice and would order it almost every time. However, now, 21 years later, my go-to dish is the combination rice noodles beef soup always no. 1... always in an extra-large bowl. While their meats may not always be top quality compared to other Vietnamese restaurants in Chinatown, it's their broth that keeps me coming back. It's superb, especially on a cold day. When dining with friends, we usually also order the spring rolls and calamari to share. Today, I stopped by alone for an "early dinner" before meeting friends for a later dinner. Despite the early hour, I couldn't resist ordering Vietnamese coffee, even though it may keep me up late. The restaurant has implemented Covid measures such as checking vaccine cards at the entrance, providing hand sanitizers at every table, and ensuring adequate spacing between tables. The service was excellent as always. Overall, it was an excellent meal that hit the spot on a cold evening."
