"My husband and I discovered this charming little café just off 435 State Line back in 2015, and we’ve been fans ever since. When a friend mentioned they had never heard of it, I felt it was necessary to share our find. My husband, Chef Steve, is quite particular about his food, so when he praises Café Hà Tiên's vermicelli noodle bowl with egg roll and grilled pork, you know it’s something special. Even as a pescatarian, I can appreciate how perfectly the pork is grilled, the veggies and herbs are fresh and crisp, and the portions are generous enough that sometimes I get an extra crab Rangoon that Steve can’t eat! My personal favorite is the lemongrass tofu, which is unlike any Asian dish I've ever tried—aromatic, perfectly seasoned, and utterly delicious. It's uncommon to find restaurants that excel in both meat and vegetarian dishes, but Café Hà Tiên consistently impresses. I confess that I prefer mom-and-pop restaurants; I appreciate their authenticity and personal touches over the predictability of chain eateries. That being said, Café Hà Tiên truly is a local gem. From their robust Vietnamese coffee to their delightful flan dessert, they maintain a clean and friendly atmosphere, always eager to provide you with an authentic Vietnamese dining experience."
