Service 5/5

I had discovered this place on my way to Bowness Park. It's just a small little restaurnat with limited seating but the service was actullay awesome! (rare for viet restaurants I guess). The owner was really friendly and personable and to top if off the food I had was great!

I had:
Sate Beef noodle soup ($6.74)
banana coconut bubble tea with pearls ($4.00)

My brother had:
Grill bowl with beef on vermecelli ($6.95)
mango lychee bubble tea with green apple jelly ($4.00)

This place probably has the best noodle soup, the sate was really nice and the bubble tea I had was amazing.
The place is really small, I guess alot of people usually take out but the service I received there was really friendly and I will definitely be back. The portions were really nice and filling and they play nice music!

Overall great experience. Here's a website they have if you wanna check it out.

They're usually RELALLY busy during lunch. I guess you can call ahead.

Honestly I've had pho dau bo and it's not bad but I would prefer the sate pho at Mai linh. It's soooo addictive!!

Because they're not really a pho place, more Vietnamese subs so not worth trying
