Summer

Highly recommend: great tasting and filling food for the price. I can get a full meal and a half for only about $14 dollars when I get the Classic Vietnamese Sando + Popcorn Chicken. Summer has been one of my favorite go-to's since I've moved to the area. I recommended this place to another friend who moved here and she's also obsessed lol. I've tried quite a few other dishes on the menu, including the Mala, the "ramen" (not actually ramen, but it's really good noodle soup), fried milk sticks, etc and almost all of them are delicious. There is one that I absolutely hate though: the Classic Iced Rice. Trust me on this one, the extra dollar for the Milk Tea Iced Rice is soo worth it. I very rarely trash food but the Classic Iced Rice was too sweet and extremely artificial tasting in a way that truly can not be salvaged. The milk tea one though is amazing and the perfect summer dessert.

Ordered the 'Stewed Beef Tendon Ramen' and Spring Rolls through GrubHub. Much to my surprise, the ramen, soup and rolls arrived piping hot, which doesn't usually happen. The ramen noodle soup included chunks if beef nubs, greens and a medium fried egg. - FYI - if you are like me and have the cilantro-tastes-like-soap gene, make sure you ask to hold the cilantro. I didn't know it came with it until I got a chunk of cilantro in my noodles :(

The humble Bánh mì… it took me coming to this place twice to realize something: These sandwiches are as FRESH as fresh gets. The bread has a crust with presence, and a soft inside, that carries perfectly seasoned pork and crispy shredded carrots, radish and cucumber with a bit of cilantro. The place is appropriately called Summer. These sandwiches are not only a good option all year, but also a great complement during the heat. Great service as well 🌞
