“This was my fist time at 4 Seasons and everything was amazing! The food was so good and so fresh, I’ll definitely be coming back. Lee, who I think is the owner, was so nice and welcoming. My girlfriend and I split a banh mi pork sandwich along with some noodles, pork, and spring rolls.”
“This was the best experience I have ever had. Food was delicious I mean everything was❤️”
“Good food in a casual atmosphere. The owner is from a middle region of Vietnam so you’ll get to experience middle Vietnamese flavors. I enjoyed my vegetarian tofu rice. Note: cash or Zelle only; no credit cards.”
“This is the most authentic Vietnamese pho and rice noodle soup we’ve ever had in our lives outside Vietnam. Broth eats super clean but deep and detoxing. Will definitely go back for more!”
“You're not coming here to have a nice sit down dinner. You're ordering and picking up some delicious, fresh pho and FIRE eggrolls. I'm mad I only got two. Owner is so sweet and funny. My shrimp and chicken pho was fantastic. She used a beef broth, but that waa fine w me. I watched her cook the meat and shrimp fresh and packaged it well so I could enjoy it at home. Cash or Zelle only so have it ready!”
“Cold December day was the perfect time to try this out. Looked up the best Vietnamese on the Southside and this came up. Other reviewers were spot on; this place is a hidden gem if there ever was one. Food was excellent. Cooked to order. I got the combination soup and spring rolls. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. The owner was nice. Cash or zelle only for payment. Can't wait to stop back again soon.”
“Amazing, traditional Vietnamese food, I don’t know much about Vietnamese food but from the places I’ve been this will be the only spot I will be coming to. The portions are generous to say the least but not only that it’s all fresh, you don’t get this level of freshness in the food in the area and it’s nice to have this around. Long story short Pork Bahn Mi here is ridiculously delicious might be the best sandwich in the city 10 stars out of 5”
“If you want authentic vietnamese food that is cook fresh when you ordered, this place is legit. The owner is the chef. I can't find good this fresh in the West Coast.”
“Hands down the best Pho I’ve ever had in life!! The owner and cook is the sweetest,funniest,nicest woman I’ve ever encountered😊. Will definitely be back!!”
“This place is an absolute gem! The restaurant is run by the sweetest woman, and you can feel the care and love she puts into every dish. I haven’t had Vietnamese food this good since leaving California, and I’ve been craving it for a long time. The pho is rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, while the banh mi is fresh, savory, and absolutely delicious. Everything tasted authentic and made with heart. Truly a standout spot, I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!”
