The food and service were excellent. It is also a real treat to watch the chef prepare the food in front of us. I really appreciated the happy birthday wishes—-both the gift certificate and the singing of happy birthday for not just me but also two other people at our table.

A lively, laid back feel, with lots of Takoma Park locals eating and coming in for take out. Service was fine, though seemed a bit disorganized. My husband got the Pho, which he said was excellent and I had grilled lemon grass chicken which was good. Would like to try it mid week when things might be a bit less busy. Overall good food, good ambiance, will go again! A nice addition to downtown Takoma Park .
