Only reviewing the boba smoothie which we saw advertised on the store front poster. Ordered taro smoothie with boba. The guy made it in front of us using fresh taro, not powder. Very tasty and creamy; you can still taste the taro (wasn't ground up too fine), just the way I like it. Boba also had nice gummy chewiness to them. Picture menu of their dishes look enticing. Bless these hardworking folks who open 7 days a week to feed us.

The Hu Tieu was maybe the best soup I’ve ever had in my life. Unbelievable. Only Vietnamese people in there when I went. I can’t wait to return!!!

Most of the dishes were good but the fish soup was a bit too sour for my taste. Great value and friendly service.

Food is good and authentic. Prices are pretty low. I only gave 3 stars because service is pretty bad. I know it is a family run restaurant but still. Our whole meal came out before our drinks did and it was bottled water and a can of soy bean milk. Perhaps it was because there was a large party in there and the only one taking orders and running the food is their son. Would give this place another shot to see if service was due to being busy but food was good. We got the Com Tam and dinner for 2 for the 4 of us. Update: Monday night early dinner. Much better service. Less crowded.

Bun Nuoc Leo was delicious. It was a generous portion filled with pork, fish, & shrimp. Each bowl came with its own portion of veggies (bean sprouts, mint leaves, cabbage, and chives) which is awesome. The broth was a little salty, easily fixed with lime. Would definitely come back for this particular dish.
