Pho
"Came here for lunch and loved it! I got the Pho Tai Bo Vien; the meatballs were delicious. Looking forward to coming back for Bahn Mi soon"
Bubble Tea / Boba Tea
"I was so excited for this new spot next to C&O to open! I stopped in for a black tea boba, and it did not disappoint. The owner added in some black crystal boba from Taiwan at no cost since it was their soft opening—delicious, with the perfect level of sweetness that you can customize to your liking."
