One of the best local eateries. The food is authentically Vietnamese, the quality is reliably delicious, the service is friendly, and the overall value is excellent. I have returned to Vina many times over the years and tried an array of menu options (except fish, which I cannot eat) and have yet to be disappointed.
Vina is one of the few remaining small scale family restaurants in the neighborhood as more and more are replaced by franchises. If you pay careful attention inside you may spot the portrait of a family member who was formerly ARVN (South Vietnamese military). To me, that is a compelling hallmark of authenticity. No chain would have something of such intimate significance up on the wall. It is clear that Vina is run by a family whose lives are invested here.
The restaurant itself is tucked away right between the theater and the frozen yogurt place, making the location ideal. Parking can sometimes be difficult so close to a busy intersection. I usually have no issues finding space, however.
Once inside I can settle down and take my time to enjoy my meal. I believe this is because of the smaller size of the restaurant, and how peaceful things are inside. It makes it a more intimate place to eat, and the serene atmosphere helps me unwind.
I can confidently give Vina 5/5 stars. While it is not the most luxurious of places you can eat, it definitely has unbeatable value with very few equals. That your money is well spent at a restaurant which is the culmination of a family's work makes it all the more special.

I have eaten here for most my life since my parents would get take-out occasionally when I was a kid. The menu does seem to mix more Chinese dishes in with Vietnamese cuisine, but they do it all right for a good price. Did I mention take-out? The egg rolls are 5-star themselves!

I'm annoying the beef Pho, flavorful broth which is much better than most Vietnamese restaurants I've been to. I wish they had more traditional Vietnamese food. The menu looked like typical Chinese food. It was very good and the server was excellent. I'll come back for sure. It was a quick dinner before band rehearsal.

This is the best Asian food for an affordable price. It's not just another Asian food restaurant. Their food is not greasy and tastes fresh.
