Great little quiet spot amidst the “hustle & bustle” of a frantic city that surround this place. Quality traditional Vietnamese and Thai based cuisine for the fraction of the price elsewhere. I would strongly recommend this restaurant and the dining experience of a home cooked meal.

We ordered through MenuLog and were pleasantly surprised to receive our food about 20 minutes earlier than the estimated time. The dishes were tasty and satisfying — not the absolute best Vietnamese we’ve had, but definitely enjoyable. A couple of minor drawbacks: the spring rolls in the vermicelli bowl had very little filling, and the beef pho broth was a bit on the watery side for our taste. Overall, if you’re looking for quick, tasty, and reasonably priced Vietnamese food, this place is worth a try!

Absolutely loved my experience at Asian Deli. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I really like the fried rice here. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The prices are very reasonable for the quality, and the portions are generous.
