"We arrived for a late lunch around 1:30pm and there was a waitlist to get in. Figured that is a good sign as the food must be good. It 's a small restaurant as is most restaurants in the area, so seating is limited particularly if you had a group, we had a group of 6 people. If there is a wait, you need to add your name and number of people in your party to the waitlist just inside of the front door to the right (no one will do it for you. I waited at the door for a few minutes waiting for an employee to add us to the list, finally someone told me that I had to write in my name myself). The wait overall wasn 't too long as there were bigger groups of people that left not long after I put my name down. After being seated, you scan the QR code on the table to see the menu and to order (each table 's QR code is specific to that table). Some of the food came out with the in a decent time, but the soups were the last to come out which is odd because usually they come out fairly fast at other Vietnamese restaurants. As for the taste of the food: 1. Thai Iced Tea 5/5 very good flavor 2. Lemongrass Chicken over Rice 4/5 too saucy 3. Lemongrass Filet Mignon over Rice 4/5 too saucy 4. Oxtail Pho 5/5 broth had good flavor, lots of meat 5. Bun Bo Hue 5/5 very good flavor, plenty of meat 6. Grilled Pork Bahn Mi 4/5 not enough meat, average flavor 7. Garlic Noodle 5/5 very good flavor 8. Grilled Duck Skink Skewers 5/5 very good flavor Overall, a decent Vietnamese restaurant. I have had better flavors at others at a cheaper price, but price of dishes are probably normal for the area. Something I didn 't like was that since we had a party of 6, a 20 something tip was added to our bill which to me is a little on the high side, however the wait staff were decently attentive and nice."
