Don’t let the rando strip mall location fool you. This place is an institution and in addition to decent “pan-Viet-Asian” fare - it has a famously extensive list of beers from all over the world (upwards of 55 beers on tap!) and is credited by some as starting Richmond’s now thriving craft beer scene. One article noted, “It’s like the Vietnamese Cheers!”.
