  I was there for lunch. The tables were almost all occupied as we arrived at the height of the lunch hour around 12:30pm. People who had phoned in carry-out were also almost constantly entering to pick up their orders.
  
  Most of the customers were Asian, with a smattering of Caucasians. A good sign. And I suspect some of the Asians were other than Vietnamese, too. Which is also a good sign.
  
  The waitress and waiter/bus-boy were Vietnamese, and spoke (what I assume was) Vietnamese to the rest of the kitchen staff.
  
  I had the Pho Ga: rice noodle soup with chicken. It was excellent. Bean spouts, lime wedges, green habanero (or jalapeno?) pepper slices, and the green leafy stuff were served on a separate plate, so you could add them to your taste, and so the bean sprouts would stay crisp.
  
  The table had a bottle of Hoisin sauce, and another bottle of some hot sauce.
  
  The food arrived in a timely manner, but the waitress/hostess was overworked due to the crowd, so she wasn't as attentive as one would expect in a nice restaurant.
  
  The prices were very reasonable.
  
  They are located on the West side of Lafayette Road, just North of Lafayette Square mall. They are opposite the Value City Furniture store on the other side of Lafayette Road. They are located in the same building as the Sherwin Williams paint store, and the Patel Brothers market.
