Ken made an excellent lychee martini, which was a highlight of the night. The sangria margarita, however, was very sour. Ken was a bit standoffish and not very friendly, which was a downside. Inside, the space was beautifully decorated, and the outside area was nice as well. The salmon spring rolls were absolutely delicious, but a heads-up they pack in big chunks of onion that can come out and slap you in the chin, burning you. This happened to both my sister and me, so I’d definitely suggest they dice the onion more finely. I wish the customer service was better because we would’ve stood. I wish they had music playing. But it’s was nice

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

I wanted to love this place but sadly wasn’t great. I’ll say positives is the ambiance is very cute. The food we had was good, not mind blowing but good! The cocktails were probably the best part. Sadly multiple issues left me with a negative perspective. First, server was not helpful. I asked what a special is and they didn’t know and didn’t bother to find out. Then 3 items we ordered were out which seems excessive. Then we had about a 30 minutes between my partners order and my order coming out. The side dish I ordered never came. One of these things would’ve been ok fine whatever but all together was too much.

Loved this establishment! Authentic Vietnamese dining in a beautiful upper scale experience. This is a destination location for the Vietnamese community who are warm, polite and inclusive in the evening's fun with dancing and singing through the karaoke kiosk. We were surrounded by beautiful people in designer clothes that set the standard in politeness,fashion and respect. These guys know how to make a night enjoyable!! We felt like we were on vacation. The restaurant is gorgeous inside with a Hollywood movie set feel. We can't wait to go back to this very fun, VERY AFFORDABLE oasis that is well run and has delicious food.
