Tiny, cash-or-Venmo-only Vietnamese hole-in-the-wall known for five-spice chicken, imperial rolls, and huge value, with cramped seating and mixed cleanliness reports.
Why this grade
Cordon Bleu Vietnamese delivers exceptional five-spice chicken and crisp imperial rolls with outstanding value at $12–16 per plate, earning solid neighborhood restaurant status. However, mixed cleanliness reports and severe space constraints prevent a higher grade, while recent consistency variation suggests occasional execution dips. A beloved local counter spot with loyal regulars, but operational limitations keep it from competing with the area's premier dining destinations.
One caveat: Cramped seating; most spots are at the counter, with lines during rush
What to order here

- Number 5 combo (chicken, pork, imperial roll, rice, salad, sauce)

What stands out
