Honestly, folks, if you haven’t heard the buzz or, better yet, tasted their incredible offerings yet, you’re in for a real treat.

Nestled right on Midland Street, this fresh lunch spot has quickly become a local darling, all thanks to its truly authentic Vietnamese flavors.

The standout, the one everyone seems to be raving about, is undoubtedly the BBQ Pork Banh Mi.

While the banh mi might be stealing the spotlight, don't overlook their other offerings. The fresh spring rolls, for instance, are light, bright, and the perfect refreshing start to any meal.
