Tasty soups, well cooked soft ribs. Good hardworking owners with very good polite attitude. They take effort to pack their soups nicely. No spillage even though it toppled on my way home. The effort and spirit of excellence is commendable.

I ordered a tong que chicken soup, taste average. The chicken doesn’t taste fresh. Soup taste mild, no strong aroma. The server is customer friendly, much appreciated. Take your chance if you want to try.
