Magasin Vietnamese cafe

Absolutely delicious food with great friendly service - a real family feel. It was just the time of day I went that meant it was fairly low on atmosphere, the place was charming and the potential for a bustling ambience. That said it was exactly what I was after.

Our second time here. First time, in August 2022, the experience was excellent - service, drinks, food - all perfect. This time the service was lacking, perhaps the wait staff was new but they weren’t familiar with the menu or drinks, the service was slow, and there were a few errors with our order. Food was delicious, as it was the first time. And we had to have crawfish, of course, which was delish. My daughter loves the espresso martini 😊

I had a coworker tell me about this place and along a day trip being a tourist in my own city near Oak St. was eager to give it a try. Our host, server/bartender Sophie, or Sophia, was very welcoming, good spirited, punctual, and professional. We were the only guests at the time, so everything came out quickly but still very fresh and deliciously made. Sophie/a told us she wasn’t a bartender but could’ve fooled me because she did an amazing job executing the drinks recipe! I enjoyed the space, it is open, airy, filled with beautiful plants, the music had a nice mix to it, I was hoping to hear a lil more variety but I did hear some good tunes. There’s only one TV so expect to come prepared with good conversations if you are dining with others. The menu has something for every diet & preference in both food and drinks.

There is some outdoor seating!

Paid street parking / free / neighborhood parking.
Everything’s clean, more importantly handicap accessible, welcoming & tasty.

Enjoy

Amazing, always fresh. I go here to eat every time I stay at the Hyatt. The veggie soup below was amazing as was the spring rolls. I removed all the tofu from the soup because I forgot to tell them I didn’t want it. They do an amazing job at serving their customers with a really great meal and it’s not very expensive, you can walk in and order right at the counter if you want. Our food came out pretty quickly and I fount myself wanting to go there every day I was in town.
