They have Malaysian Char Kuey Teow that doesn't look & taste like Malaysian Char Kuey Teow (or Char Hor Fun or Fried Noodle )
Try laksa !! It's a mild coconut soup base with a touch of spice. There's seafood and beef laksa , but try seafood for the more traditional taste :)
The best beam srouts in town .
Avoid lunch hour. Spicy Black Pepper Tofu , Pad Thai , Goat in Yellow Curry are all good. If you want coffee , drive to the location on Hwy 24 for a proper Vietnamese coffee press.
The Tom Yum and Thai Coconut Soups are amazing.
Decent Pho . Be warned the small is enough for a meal.
Had good service here, get the beef pho and spring rolls
Tamarind chicken - like sweet and sour only super good!
Vermicelli bowl can't do you wrong. Nor the coconut soup . Very good.
Hasn't changed since university days. 3 waitresses behind the counter and all the tables in the dining area aren't cleared off. This is why you are asked to wait to be seated.
I love the new teas with grass jelly .
Great pho and noodle soups !
Take-out only after 10:30PM on Saturday. Show up then or later and be turned away.
Food portion served is a lot. Two people can eat one bowl of noodles .
Ask for no msg. Your body will thank you later.
Noodle bowl 105 beef well done yummy
Grilled rice (com tam) dishes are small in portion... I expected more. Pho and noodles dishes are ok.
Servers were nice as always!!
Pho and lime soda are always good.
If you love Thai food ... this is the place to go! Oh how this reminds me so much of when I lived in Singapore! Read more
Try the basil shrimp or scallops , delicious!
Avocado shake and tofu soup and green/ yellow curies
Nice restaurant . 422B wasn't that good
Inconsistent amount of pad Thai 's every time.
Best Singapore noodle in town
Try the 125 five spices beef stew with rice noodles
Lemongrass grilled Pork and/or Chicken - or -Traditional beef noodle soup - get the Ben Thanh special option
Ready to try the pad Thai !
Love the food, usually pretty quick assuming you don't have to wait. Bad service though.
some servers are nice so are rude, so take your chances; the foods okay too.
jackfruit shake is a must-have!
The food here is always awesome. The service, however, is not so much...
New interior, very slick !
Food is always great here. The service... not so good...
Order the 474. By name. Loudly .
Service is poor. Did not get all of our order. 30 min. after the first dish arrives we cancel the rest of order. They then charge us for food we did not get. Not recommended.
Love the wontons ... Pad That time
If you want great food, this is the place. If you want great service, or actually any service, this is not the place. Very disappointed.
Used to have decent customer service, but as if lately not so much. Food comes out lukewarm, and wait staff aren't very attentive.
Get #343. It tastes like rainbows.
Pad Thai with Chicken or your choice of Pho
# 102 is pretty good. The XL is gigantic!
If your looking for soup , get the 101
THIS IS WHERE FRIENDSHIPS DIE
Food is great, phone manners not so much.
What service?
Good food, lousy service. Received my appetizer towards the end of my main. Asking customers to write their own orders for table service? It's not cute or fun. It's lazy.
Not worth the time spent there.
342 was fantastic. I ordered extra rare beef and it was deliciously meaty. A medium and a side spring role has me stuffed. - Saibal Chakraburtty
Lots of freshly made items - varies daily (spring rolls, rice rolls, buns, etc) - Tim T
Bao Sandwich Bar is a hidden gem. If you're adventurous and want to try some Baos check out this spot. My favorites are the 5 Spice Belly, Dynasty Duck, and Seoul Kimchi fries! - Linda Hua
Nice, clean & comfortable. Parking is difficult unless you head to the Bay. - Mark Lewis
Order your popcorn with extra butter,but get it on the middle half and top half. If you do this you will get the fresh popcorn! Yum! - Samantha K
Love the chai tea latte here and the French onion soup is absolutely delicious!! - Jessica Mighton
