Amy and I have eaten here multiple times. The service staff is friendly. You can get pho there but it is more heavy on the Thai side. Regardless, I am glad this is here and has survived COVID.

With COVID, they are only doing drive through. The car line may look intimidating but it moves fast. No cash transactions right now. This place is legendary to the locals for their cheap extensive eats. You can have the most simple or complex bagel sandwich you can imagine. You can also get 1/2 dozen or a dozen bagels and tubs of cream cheese for your work friends. They will love you.
