I was referred to this Vietnamese restaurant by a friend.

When I walked in the resturant I felt that everyone was there to enjoy the food with no bad vibes. Its important to go to a place where you are welcomed by the staff but also by the customers. With that the wait staff took their time to help out the customers with good energy.

Turtle Tower is lite on the wallet and provides fresh quality food.

Turtle Tower is known for their signature pho ga (chicken noodle soup): a soup with made of chicken broth, fat rice noodels, green onions, strips of chicken, and onion. Lemon and green peppers are served on the side.

You might ask what is Pho?
Pho is a bones marrow/ beef flavor broth fthat is boiled for a few hours. Tripe, beef brisket, tendons, pig's feet, rice noddles or vermiceli or egg noddles is served in pho.
Some places use bean sprouts, jalepenos, mint, basil, with lime or lemon as a side to be placed in your pho based on your liking. Plum or hosin sause and Saracha(a hot sause) is optional pending own you taste.
