Yummy food. Delicious hamburger, love their home made French fries. Can’t wait for more.

This place is truly an unpretentious hidden gem that serves very authentic Vietnamese food. I have tried their Banh Mi and other Viet dishes and have never been disappointed. I've been here multiple times and many times JUST for their freshly squeezed Sugar Cane juice (tip: Add pineapples)! I was so glad to see they had Bo Ne (Sizzling Plate) on the menu! Bò né is Vietnamese Sizzling Steak and Eggs breakfast plate. It is Vietnam’s version of steak and eggs. Steak with generous amount of butter, eggs, pate and Vietnamese sausage on a sizzling plate in soy sauce and eaten with a baguette. This is the very few restaurants where I have seen this dish on the menu so I had to get it.

Something else. In a striped shopping center, rear corner, cute, bright unique small restaurant. Very friendly atmosphere and service. Good prices. Bubble tea was good, lots of milk tea and lychee jelly...not much taste added. My Vermicelli with Options Bowl was delicious... I added grilled pork and pork with shrimp on sugar cane. It came with salad in one half of the bowl and Vermicelli and meat in the other half (I had no idea salad was included, but lived it! Added a little peanut sauce of fresh rolls...made it perfect! Fresh rolls were delicious! Good size and my Fave were the grilled pork and the pig/shrimp. Great peanut sauce! My boys had Teriyaki with options and chose beef with Udon noodles. While it was good, all 3 commented on small portions with few vegetables. My other son had Teriyaki with Vermicelli and shrimps. He wolfed it. It seemed like Vermicelli options had a larger part. It was a dingy place. All in all, sweet, good service, good price, great flavors. I'd definitely go back. I'll know exactly what to order.

One of the best restaurants in Guelph! The staff are super friendly and kind. The food is delicious, I love grabbing a sandwich when I?m in a rush or getting pho after a long day. 10/10 would recommend!
