The food is great, the menu is great, and the owners are great. They have several traditional dishes that are not offered any where else in the city...and their fish dishes are divine! Try the sweet potato shrimp cake, summer rolls, and papaya salad as well!!
The service may leave a bit to be desired (it's still better than any other strip-mall Vietnamese place I've ever been to and trust me I've been to many).
We all know JOCO could use some culinary diversity, so please give this place a try!! -

The menu attempts to be a little classier and more interesting than more traditional Vietnamese spots. There are at least 5 kinds of Ban Mih (basically a sandwich), but only a couple kinds of Pho (noodle soup) and Bun (cold noodle salad). They also feature wacky offering like meatball subs and hamburgers, and no, this is not the kids menu I'm talking about. The food is good here, but I'm not touching their meatball sandwich with a ten foot pole.
The food is good enough, but presentation and portions are a tad lacking. Pho comes with a whole assortment of fresh herbs, bean sprouts, lime wedges, etc. which is pretty typical. But the Bun dishes, usually accompanied by lovely piles of ground peanuts, shredded carrots, bean sprouts, meat, mint/cilantro, is merely a bowl of noodles with some shredded carrots and meat. Oh yeah, there is also some dried garlic sprinkled throughout which is actually an excellent addition.
For my money, Vietnam Cafe, Sung Son and Hien Vong are all better options. But for Johnson County, are there other Vietnamese gems out there?
So basically, it looks more like $5 meal than a $9 one. -

This place is near my apartment and has some great healthy vegetarian selections. The owners are nice and so far I've really liked the dishes I've tried. I'd pass on the veggie sandwich they serve and try something else. its good but the papaya salad and spring rolls are so much better. Every once and a while one of the hired servers makes up really small portions and then I get annoyed at how much the meal costs.
