Just had a fantastic lunch at this Thai cafe! Tried their **beef soup** – absolutely delicious, packed with big, **flavorful peppers** that had a great kick! Also ordered a **mango-strawberry smoothie** which was perfectly refreshing and sweet. The food has a genuine **home-style feel** that's really comforting. Service was **friendly and attentive**, making the visit even better. Highly recommend if you want tasty, authentic Thai flavors! Will definitely be back.
The food is great. The service is acceptable. The staff seem to be always chattering in a language I can't understand, which means it's like going on an expensive vacation in Vietnam. It's a taste of the culture, but without that early 1970s angst of no support for that war. It's a refreshing break from the big box joints. Not everyone wants to risk this. I don't understand and get confused at times.
I ordered their noodle soup, and it was absolutely perfect for a cold evening. It came out quickly, smelled amazing, and the flavor was outstanding — rich, comforting, and incredibly satisfying. Friendly service, great portions, and delicious food. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend My Canh to anyone craving authentic, flavorful Vietnamese cuisine.
Very delicious highly recommend. Staff was friendly. Needs more organization and more attentiveness to the customer. Will return! Very very good
