It is a unique coffee house. We fpund this when looking for coffee house around San Jose. Inside has so many big scrren tv and the server wear very unique and nteresting outfit. The vietnamese coffee which we ordered were good. It was strong. We also order beef stew baguettes. It was yummy. The soup is very light. The meat may be better a bit tender. It is interesting that most of the customers are guys and sit facing the cashier area. It feels like they are in a classroom. It is cash only but they have atm inside. You have to leave the tip on your table. Most customers just order coffee or juice even though they also serve food. Insie is pretty neat and clean. It is not bright. From outside you won't be able to see inside

Came here for lunchtime for the first time. A little busy but not too bad. Not sure what too order but asked the pretty server what she recommended. I tried the Lemongrass chicken rice plate which was very delicious. Nice atmosphere. No smoking inside which was good. Very clean. Great service. Highly recommended.

I went in to check it out, normally when I go by it's closed as they close very early like most places here in San Jose. There's a row of TV's side-by-side along the walls so if there's some sports even you're following or have bets riding on, chances are good they're playing it. The prices are a bit high, but that's to compensate for the fact that you will be served by very attractive gals wearing very little clothing. Also there's some weird rule about paying, that's written on a sign - it's don't pay at the bar or only pay at the bar or something. Maybe it's to keep someone from putting a tip in their server's G-string lol. I can't comment on the food because I only had a little money on me at the time and the prices are a bit high.

Unique place but great place to watch sports and have a beer or food. It is Cash-Only so make sure you have the cash.

Great place for coffee. Clean air, not stuffy like most of the Vietnamese coffee shops. Waitresses are cute and cordial. Attentive service.
