Need to fill your monster appetite? At this spot you can order “monster” options that are sure to keep you full! Be sure to ask for their special menu item which is a spicy and flavorful bún bò huế. My new fave is their Vietnamese crepe which has a nice combo of crispy, savory, and fresh components. Definitely add their drinks to balance out your meal. Of course, you have to get some of their yummy dessert options to end your meal on a sweet note!
