This family-owned Vietnamese spot offers traditional dishes until late, plus DJs & karaoke.
This place is pretty neat, in my opinion, for Vietnamese nearest my home.
Open late, the scene is a full bar with karaoke or Live music stage on some nights.
Far from swanky, more low-key. Last time I was there, live music was playing from some local artists in a Willie Nelson/Jimmy Buffet style. I'm unsure if that's a regular thing.
