"When I arrived, I was shocked to see a bill for $68. The young man at the front explained that the rice and snow peas were treated as separate orders and that the small box of shrimp I ordered cost $18! I was visibly upset and expressed my frustration, but he went ahead and processed the payment. Not wanting to create a scene, I left, still in disbelief. Once I got to my car, I decided to call back to convey my dissatisfaction. I explained my feelings about not being given a total over the phone, but he only offered me a $2.75 credit for the rice. I had just left a $6 tip, and while he mentioned he would remember this for future customers, it didn’t help my situation. As a business owner myself, I would have handled the confusion differently. If there was an issue with an order, I would have removed the incorrect items right away, and if a customer called back just minutes after leaving, I would have invited them to return to rectify the situation. Ensuring guests leave happy is a priority for me, and that clearly didn't happen here. The experience still bothers me the next morning, though I know I need to move on. On the brighter side, the food is usually quite good, and we had a pleasant meal here in December. However, the food seemed greasier than before, and to be fair, my dining companion, who was unaware of my earlier experience, made the same comment. I’m giving this restaurant 2 stars because the food and service have been quite good in the past. However, I will seek out a different restaurant next time I want to order takeout or dine in."

"I came here for the first time based on a coworkers recommendation. I had to come back a second time because I was craving the spring rolls on a hot day. For both of my visits I ordered takeout. During my first visit I ordered at the restaurant and the second time I ordered ahead for pick up. If you're going to take it to-go, ordering ahead is the way to go. I ordered through the yelp app and was able to schedule the food to be ready by the time I got off of work. They have a spacious dining area with many seating options but sadly I didn't have anyone to join me. So far I've tried the Bahn Mi sandwich, chicken spring rolls, beef spring rolls, crispy rolls, and the noodle beef bowl, and the Vietnamese coffee. Everything I've had has been tasty and generously portioned. You can make a few meals out of these dishes. The chicken spring rolls have been my favorite. The chicken is tender and flavorful. The dipping sauce a combo peanut chili sauce. I liked that it wasn't too thick like some peanut sauces can be. These also hold up well when transporting home. One thing that I would advise again is ordering the crispy rolls to go. By the time I got home they were a bit soggy and the lettuce wraps had wilted so those should be eaten at the restaurant. They were still really delicious and had a great vinegary dipping sauce. I'll definitely be back for more spring rolls. I also noticed they have some Korean options so I'll have to come back to try those too."
