I come here when I’m craving Bột Chiên only because not very many places can do it right. It’s another typical Cash Only serving Vietnamese food. This place claims that they are the best and most authentic. It’s definitely a dated Ma and Pa’s shop with only a few chairs. The last is load and not very friendly but you can tell that her livelihood and pride depends on the food. She means well and I’m not there to make a friend. I’m only here when I want to eat some of the authentic Vietnamese dishes that they offer. Their specialty includes Dệ Nhất Bột Chên Sài Gòn which is my favorite. Hủ Tiếu and Canh Bún are good when I need something soupy to pair with my favorite dish. They also serve Gỏi Đu Đủ Khô Bò Gan Cháy and Bò Bía Nóng that I eat as appetizers when I come with a few friends. As for drinks, their Đậu Xanh Lá Dứa is good. They also have Chè Sâm Bổ Lượng, Chè Thái and Rau Má which are legit. I’ve seen them sell at the Lunar New Year food stands at Mile Square Park. I would not eat anything at those food tents because it doesn't look very sanitary and water to main cleanliness looks scarce. I trust their permanent location and thank goodness that I haven't has an upset stomach the few times that I’ve visited.
