This isn't a restaurant in my opinion, more like an eating house. I come here when I don't feel like cooking & want/need a hearty bowl of their chicken noodle soup. Despite my best efforts I cannot make this soup at home taste near as good. Their fresh rice paper spring rolls are excellent value too!
