The Point

"Great photos of Anthony Bourdain when he visited. The food is on point Vietnamese deliciousness... pun intended! A must try if you're in the area."

"New management/ownership? So no more Vietnamese food, however, the weekend enchiladas did not disappoint. Great homemade food, excellent flavor, big portions. Would definitely recommend"

"Great banh mi and fresh spring rolls! I had the chargrilled pork banh mi and it was extremely flavorful, paired with crispy cukes, shredded carrots, a zesty mayo sauce, and fresh cilantro. Next time I'll order extra jalapenos. The store was clean and staff were friendly. We ate at a picnic table across the street by the waterfront, and enjoyed the seagull's antics, watching the boats go by, and kids throwing cast nets from a nearby pier. My only regret is that I didn't get pho to go for supper tonight! We'll visit again."

"There's no way I would have discovered this place if it wasn't for Bourdain. I was quickly greeted by owner Yen Tran, who quickly surmised that I wasn't a local... I told her I wanted the Combo Pho, just like Tony had... But I also wanted a Pork Banh Mi and a Vietnamese coffee because I haven't had much Vietnamese food since my trip to Vietnam last year. This convince store, bait shop, general store, restaurant put down some legit pho! The Banh Mi hit the spot as well! More importantly what made my visit special was how friendly and warm Mrs. Tran was, she wanted to hear about all that I ate and saw when I visited Vietnam. She also discussed Anthony's day in Palacios. "He was a great storyteller, but more importantly, he made you feel welcome enough to tell your own story to him" I grabbed a few drinks for the road, thanked Mrs Tran (in Vietnamese... The only phrase I know) and told her I would definitely be back!"

"Well...we were disappointed to find out that the Vietnamese food is not served Sundays. We ordered off the Mexican Food menu. The owner of the place took our food order and was very personable. It took a long time to get the food to us. They weren't particularly slammed. It looked to me like this is where there is one TOO many cooks in the kitchen. One cook can get overwhelmed. Two cooks make a great team. Three cooks cannot play together. They did not communicate and the whole place seemed to be on a downer emotional jag. It's hard to put a finger on it, but it was off putting. The food was good and fresh. I don't think we will be going out of our way to eat here again. Shame becsuse we wanted to try the Vietnamese food."
