A very simple setup, handled by one lady because I didn't see anyone else. So, don't expect much service. Tables are also not wiped properly, as I don't think she can cope with cooking and cleaning. It's self-service, meaning you order and pick up your food yourself, without table service. I ordered BBQ pork with rice noodles. A very generous portion of noodles, vegetables, and pork. The bowl is surprisingly good and appetizing. The pork is flavorful with the fragrance of BBQ charcoal grill. The sauce in the noodles gets tastier as I get through the bowl. Vegetables are fresh too. It was a surprise find. I hope she can have enough business to be able to employ one helper to level up!

Looks a little dingy, but the BBQ pork rice noodles were delicious. Fresh, balanced; the BBQ pork was tender and well marinated; and the spring rolls were tasty and still crunchy. They also bothered to toast their peanuts, which added a smoky taste. Do note that it's actually $10. They still use their old banners that state $6. That said, I feel it's reasonable, and the portion was substantial.

I want to give this humble little cafe a big shout-out for its delicious food. The lady owner ran the place pretty much by herself. She is super friendly and whipped up an amazing bowl of noodles and avocado smoothie for me! The cafe is hidden amongst the nail parlors and clothing stores close to the escalators.

One of the best bowls of bun bo hue I had in Singapore. It was $11, but the portion was huge. It wasn't spicy, so you could add your own preferred level of spice. The broth, beef ball, beef shank, and beef slices were all super flavorful. It's a hidden gem, unassuming, and a no-frills kind of place.

Definitely authentic Vietnamese food. You can smell a distinctive Vietnamese food smell when you approach the stall. The Vietnamese lady preparing the food can speak limited English but can speak broken Mandarin. I ordered item No. 4 from their menu. What came was a bowl of soup with thick bee hoon, a whole slice of fish, a big prawn, and plenty of vegetables like kangkong, bean sprouts, and brinjal. The soup tasted a little too sweet for my liking. Upon adding some chili and lime, it tasted pretty savoury. I ended up finishing everything. Not a bad place to catch some authentic Vietnamese food. The place has air-con and a dozen tables. Oh, and they sell Vietnamese snacks like fried cashew nuts, dried mango, crackers, etc. Recommended!
