Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking along Sunset and adjacent side streets; can be tight after 7pm. Small paid lots nearby are usually available for $8–$12.
Dress code: Casual to smart casual. Most guests come in jeans and a nice top, but it’s polished enough for a slightly dressier look.
Noise level: Moderate. You can hold a conversation comfortably, though peak dinner hours bring a livelier buzz.
Weekend wait: 20–35 minutes for walk-ins; groups of 4–6 may wait longer unless arriving early.
Weekday lunch: Rarely a wait; usually seated immediately or within 5 minutes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — several options including veggie pho, tofu dishes, and garlic noodles without protein.
Vegan options: Limited — a few customizable dishes (tofu-based bowls, certain noodles) but confirm broth choices.
Gluten-free options: Yes — pho and many rice-based dishes work well; verify sauces and marinades with staff.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes. The polished dining room, shareable plates, and warm service create a relaxed but elevated vibe that works well for a casual first date or a low-key dinner date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Typically yes. Walk-ins are common, though weekend dinners fill quickly. Arriving before 7pm improves your chances, especially for groups.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for most ages. The menu has approachable options like chicken pho and noodles, and the atmosphere is casual enough for families. No dedicated kids’ menu, but portions are shareable.
Best For
Better for: A broader Vietnamese-fusion experience with pho plus garlic noodles, banh xeo, and sizzling plates — ideal when the group wants more than just noodle soup.
Skip if: You want ultra-traditional, minimalist pho or a quick, under-$15 bowl; nearby specialty pho shops may suit those needs better.
