  Second time here and it was time I wrote a review!
  
  First off you're greeted right away by the staff, seated and given water and they brought over a high chair for us right away. So you can say service was fast and good!
  
  First dish: of course we had to get the banh beo. It is more expensive here compare to other places and you only get 4! But note that their banh beo is thicker and bigger and their shrimp paste topping is pretty good! I can do without the peanuts but the fried onions on top was so good!
  
  Mi quang Tom thit: what I noticed that was different about it here compare to other places is that its not saucy. Most places I go to their mi quang has a red tomato like paste on top of the sauce. But here it's more of a broth on the bottom of your bowl and then it's topped with marinated pork and shrimp. Final verdict: It was good! We had mi quang at Hue the other day and we liked it here better because it wasn't drown in veggies.
  
  BBH: pretty good, comparable to other good places in SJ. I like that I can't taste any MSG maybe they don't use it. Love that the noodles portion rate is perfect and each bowl comes so meaty!
  
  Overall it was good as I remembered. Prices are pretty steeped compare to other places but the portions make up for it. We will definitely be back!

  Inconvenience. Very inconvenient. They double as a wedding restaurant as well. So you go there without knowing if they are close on Saturday or Sunday for a wedding or not. Doesnt matter if the food is good or not if you arent able to taste it.

  Probably my favorite place for Mi Quang. This place is about a mile and a half from my work place. Tucked away in a random, small business area with plenty of parking in the front, side and back lot. Its pretty busy during the peak hours of lunch and dies down quickly after 12:45 pm for weekdays. Its like a ghost town by 1pm. I've been here 3 times and always tried something different. They're quite generous with their portions. The Mi Quang is super fulfilling and I didn't realize how spicy the chili that were provided were, I used almost the whole bowl of chili. This dish is their signature entree aka turmeric noodles with veggies, shrimp and pork. Packs a punch of flavor in their proteins! If you're looking for something different and not typically found in your local Vietnamese restaurants, I would recommend this dish for those that would like to try something new.
  
  I've also tried their Banh Uot which was also delicious, but the Thit Nuong was pretty oily, but marination was flavorful. This dish took awhile to come out, at least 20 minutes while my coworker's Broken Rice dish with grilled chicken and Vermicelli bowl with grilled chicken were done in 10 minutes. The size of the chicken for both those dishes were huge, definitely could be for 2 meals. They both said the chickens were flavorful. Definitely a fan of this restaurant. Also, their prices are pretty affordable in the $10-$13 range with a large quantity of food. But that probably depends on what you order I suppose? My Banh Uot was a doable size plate, could have had a little bit more meat though.
  
  Service is okay, typical Vietnamese folks in their 40-50s with a few young folks in their 20s. There is also a band area for the nighttime in the far right end of the restaurant and a small water fountain in the corner.

  This place used to be hot and good. The mi Quang was not what it used to be, water down lack of flavor. There was a fly in the  banh canh cua soup, it was a terrible experience. Kind of ruined our appetite afterwards. The price went up but the quality went down. Would not recommend this place for anyone who's looking for a good quality Hue meal and definitely will not come back.

  Came here to try the Mi Quang! It didn't disappoint. The flavors were right, just as mi quang should have. The proportions of broth to meat to noodles was just right, and they were very generous with the amount of vegetables given. Banana blossom is an essential part of the dish and so I'm glad that they gave a generous amount of it! I enjoyed this meal.
