"Great place in burlington for viet food! Burlington needs more variety for viet, thai, lao food and this a great start! The pho is excellent. The peanut sauce is very good, tastes like my moms and actually has flavor compared to other places that are afraid to add spice. Spring rolls and Banh Mi were good!"

"Excellent Pho (noodle soups) and poke bowls! A must try. Don’t forget to get boba tea! Great prices! Round two we had the Poke bowl. Ingredients were fresh and tasty!!!"

"Really good Pho and very fresh veggies brought on a side dish so that you can put amount you desire in your Pho. You can choose type of meat/protein you want, and can order small or large size bowl. Also had spring rolls and they were also delicious. Will eat here again! If you like spicy, ask for side of red chili oil (be careful very spicy, start with a wee bit)."

"My partner and I got some vegetarian dishes to try. The vegetarian pho was delicious, and the serving size was robust. Quite satisfying! Lots of noodles, bean sprouts, and more. Will absolutely be getting again! The fried ramen was savory and delicate. Carrots, cabbage, tofu, and many more ingredients. The restaurant was impeccably clean and comfortable, and offered great respite from the heat. Staff was courteous and helpful, but distracted in the back room when we arrived. (I think we just missed the end of lunch rush.)"

"Excellent food and reasonable prices. Very good menu including vegan options. I had the summer rolls and vegan Bahn Mi and I would absolutely order them again. My friends had the poke bowl and the pho and they loved it enough that they have been back 2 times."

"Nothing wrong with this place. Grilled pork banh mi was excellent. Service was great. Could use a little personality. Pho was great. There was a home made hot chili oil that was top notch and healthy (very little oil). Mango Boba was good and served on ice. They do not have the option to make it a smoothie consistency which I like better. Plain decor so the atmosphere was not ethnically strong, however it was clean."
