" Not overly impressed by A Chau. The flavors were mild, and while the egg rolls were good, I've definitely had better elsewhere. It's a bit cramped in there, and parking is a nightmare. I probably wouldn't recommend it to a friend looking for great Vietnamese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is absolutely amazing! I love the ambiance and the authentic Vietnamese dishes. Their vermicelli with grilled shrimp is a winner, and so are the spring rolls! It’s a cash-only place, but the prices are so reasonable, you won’t mind. Solid five stars all the way. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited A Chau recently after hearing so many good things, and while the food was good, I wasn't blown away. The egg rolls were nice and crispy, but I expected a bit more flavor in them. The service was fast, but the atmosphere just felt a bit cramped to me. Decent food, but maybe I'll try another place for comparison next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" When it comes to egg rolls, A Chau is unmatched! I have tried several places before, but these rolls are packed with flavor and texture that keeps you coming back for more. The service is quick, but don't expect a five-star dining atmosphere. It’s more of a casual takeout place which I actually love. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't normally leave reviews, but A Chau deserves it! Their egg rolls are something I could eat every day. Always hot and crispy, made fresh daily. The service was friendly and quick, which I really appreciated since I was in a rush. Cash only, so come prepared! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited A Chau last week, and while the food was decent, the experience was marred a bit by the messy tables and the overall unkempt appearance of the place. The flavors in the food were good though, especially the egg rolls and the pho. If they cleaned up a bit, they'd probably get a higher rating from me. " (*Curated Review*)

" This establishment serves some of the best Vietnamese food I've ever had! Their banh mi sandwiches are phenomenal, and I will be back for those super crispy egg rolls. Be prepared to fight for parking or plan on walking from nearby spots though. " (*Curated Review*)
