Roots Bistro

Update to highly recommended. Visited again and exceeded expectations. Softshell crab salad was crispy but melt in the mouth soft. A simple fried chicken rice had a light crispy skin and juicy inside. A touch of sweet and sour sauce on the chicken was spot on. Lemongrass beef and shrimp vermicelli bowl has flavorful but surprisingly not sweet. Even the fish sauce that came with the chicken rice has more umami and less sweet than the usual stuff. Strictly speaking 4.5 stars. Food has good flavor but way too heavy for our taste. One can taste real butter in the sizzling dishes. I’m sure it’s a good thing for most, hence the 5 stars. We usually use little oil and salt so the dishes are more salty and oily for us.

I got to take out of wagyu brisket pho. It was delicious. they actually have very nice dining area.

Absolutely enjoyed my lunch there! The chilly weather called for hot soup. The Wagyu Pho was amazing. We loved how they were msg free too! The wagyu meat paired perfectly with the thickness of the noodles and the soup was just right! Grilled pork vermicelli was really good too! The grilled pork was perfectly grilled and seasoned! The service and environment was great too! Thank you!

Vegetarian Vermicelli Noodle is very good. Bold flavors with generous portions of tofu, onion, and green/yellow/red peppers. And it served hot! Usually at other restaurants, vegetarian vermicellis are bland with tiny tofu and all carb. Not here. The meat in Wagyu Pho Special is very good. The only downside is that Wagyu is a type of meat with more fat so the soup feels a bit greasy. There are many other dishes to try so we will definitely come back. Our seat is a bit dirty. Hope they are not too busy to clean up next time. (Edit to add pictures from the second visit) The vegetarian vermicelli is still great. We order two items from the sizzling menu and they are very tasty. (Edit to add new item - Vietnamese egg coffee) (Edit to add new items. My first review was more than a year ago. Unfortunately Google keeps erase the captions of old photos. There are always new dishes at this restaurant and always delicious. Highly recommended)

I found this Vietnamese restaurant by chance... but it was more delicious than I expected. The menu is unique and visually fun to look at. Very neat and friendly. I would like to praise it because it appears to have been developed independently. The spring rolls with fried pork dumplings and fried shrimp are especially delicious. Personally, I hope there will be more restaurants like this. I highly recommend you give it a visit.

Fantastic pho and appetizers! Everything I've tried here has been delicious. The staff is also very friendly. Looking forward to going back and trying their other specials.

Cozy pho place. I ordered the seafood udon bowl. The crab was good, the shrimp was delicately prepared, the fish balls were very good. The only down side was the pork, it felt a little out of place in the seafood mix. The noodles were good and the broth was very flavorful without being salty.

A newly opened restaurant features a modern interior design. Although the space isn’t too large, it’s cozy and inviting. The menu isn’t extensive but it offers some classic Vietnamese dishes along with creative options not typically found elsewhere. That’s cool. We had pho and fried chicken with rice which were both delicious. Friendly staff. Service may suffer due to understaffing as they don’t proactively refill water during our stay.
