    The food isn't as good as everyone says. they just want you to eat as quickly as possible and get out so they can get new customers. So they will ask you if you are done when you still have food

    Rating inflated due to its proximity to NYU. Decent banh mi though the brisket is pretty sweet

    The spring rolls are top notch but the Bahn mi was aight. Nothing to commute for, you probably have better Vietnamese in your hood. Hancos in Park Slope is better.

    It was alright, had the lemongrass chicken pho. Pretty straightforward, not sure why it has such a high rating. Though the cucumber juice was pretty spectacular.
