Wooow. The chicken curry noodle soup on Wednesdays is amazing! The flavor is perfection. We placed an order at 10 and were told we got the last one. So order early! We were greeted with smiles and good vibes the moment we walked in. Can’t wait to try more of the soups!
Five star pho here, but come early. They were sold out of Pho by noon today. We got the last bowl + the tumeric noodle soup. Both were amazing.
Absolutely delicious Chicken Curry Noodle soup, Bún Cari Gà. Best I've ever had in my life thus far. I can't wait to try Thursday's special, Shredded Chicken Noodle soup, Bún Thang and Friday's Chicken Pho, Phơ Gà. My mouth is watering just thinking about it 😋
DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!😋There's only two menu items available each day. I visited on Sunday and had a turmeric noodle soup. It was so good. I usually don’t finish broth, but this place is different. I finished all! When I was about to leave, the turmeric noodle soup was sold out. The staff was friendly :) So good. I'll definitely be back.
Under the definition of "Mom and Pop Joint" in the dictionary comes HA &VL Vietnamese Noodle Soup. It's right there along with Delicious Broth and Genuine Experiences. I had heard about this place and decided that after a great day at the yard sales I would investigate further. The parking is a challenging tight Tetris and I was so glad I wasn't driving the big ugly truck, but after a short wait, there was a shift and a few spaces opened up. The place only has a couple of items on the menu and it changes ever day. I will be honest and say that I wanted the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup but they had already run out and I had to get the Peppery Pork Ball Noodle Soup, which I would not have generally chosen... But at first sip I was sold. It was deep, warming, complex, good umami, and the pork balls and slices were a genuine good surprise. I did not care for the one fish ball that I found in the depths, but I get that it is a prized food in Asia, I'm just too stuck in my ways to appreciate it . I also get that the addition of fish to a broth adds to the flavor like a mysterious magic elixir, a hard lesson for most western cooks. The place is a treasure. The staff were friendly and welcoming even though there was a substantial language barrier. That, for me makes the place that much more attractive. Like I have been welcomed into their world, on their terms, to experience their authentic food. I love the fact that instead of offering 50 items, they just offer two trusted items a day and if you start to explore their food, you will have you favorite days. I would bet that they know to some extent who will show up on which days. To the general white American these places can be semi visible back drops for the area that never enter into their minds as even a possibility, but that is a huge mistake! It is places like this that can show how much of a family we all are. Where it's natural to sit with diverse families in fellowship and get on with the important business of good food served by kind people.
