Reviews
We absolutely love this place! The pho is the best I've had outside of Vietnam. I dream about the spring rolls too - they're massive and full of veggies. Such a cozy spot.
I've eaten here at least 10 times and have never been disappointed. The pad thai and curries are excellent. And you can't beat the prices for the quality.
Whenever we visit Bergen, this is the first restaurant on our list. The food always transports me back to our travels in Asia. Love the friendly owners too!
