They also have their popular Spring Rolls ($12), deep-fried till shatteringly crisp on the outside. It’s served with a sweet dipping sauce on the side to cut through the greasiness.

If you’ve been to Vietnam before, you might be familiar with Vietnamese-style dry noodle dishes topped with various types of meat.

As the restaurant is still rather new, their full menu and prices are not yet available. We’ll update this story once we get more details.
