Such a perfect bowl in this rainy sweater weather. A bowl of piping hot soup with a hint of lemongrass and coriander. It had a generous serving of tender sliced beef and also beef meatballs. Sprinkled with crunchy onions, beansprout and filled with slippery white noodle. It reminded me of tomyam soup but with a different flavor profile.

I like how it's not too spicy, but you can adjust the level of garlic and spice with condiments by the side. Just a tinge of spice on the lips and palate. It's super warm and the very definition of comfort food. The taste of the herbs wasn't too in-your-face which is always a problem I have with Vietnamese food. The meat wasn't rubbery and overcooked and the meatballs in particular were just bouncy and juicy enough.

I exited the homely, comfy restaurant profusely thanking my dining partner for intro-ing me to this little place tucked away among the office buildings.
