Good food, drinks, 2 happy hours. Nice laid-back restaurant (without being weird). As of 2012 you can walk through to their bar "Over and Out" in the back, good burgers and drinks and open late.

Really good food, very close by. Great soups. They have a lot more than Pho (which is better at one of the Pho Hung restaurants or Pho Oregon anyway).
