My first Kei Concepts experience! Word on the street is that they all have the same happy hour hack — show up at 4:45, order their entire happy hour menu for a fraction of the price, but still get the SAME! PHENOMENAL! FOOD! even at the same portion. We got 5 dishes for $60 before tip and it fed four of us pretty well, although YMMV depending on your party’s appetite. Garlic noodles had the perfect Q texture with jumbo juicy charred shrimp. Seafood ceviche was tender and slightly acidic with a hint of coconut. Xoi man isn’t porky at all with amazing Chinese sausage, although the sticky rice is a little heavier. The baguette in the banh mi chao is UNREAL; perfectly soft and fluffy, and we considered getting another one on the side. We finished with a banana bread pudding, which is fantastically complex with crunch, fluff, bitterness, and nuttiness all in one package. It was on the sweeter side but the perfect end to a delicious dinner! The inside is so elegant, and our servers were amazing in making sure we could take advantage of the happy hour!

I've been wanting to try this place forever, so I was excited to finally make it out this weekend when I was visiting. The atmosphere: There's a good amount of patio and indoor seating, but brunch gets busy. I'd recommend making a reservation, and if you can, aim for an earlier time for better seating and wait times. The food: We started with the Seafood Ceviche and the Crab Toast. Both were a little pricey for the portion size, but were really tasty and easy to share. I ordered the Banh Mi Chao with filet mignon, and the meat was super tender and marinated perfectly. The tomatoes added a nice fresh bite. The Xoi Chien was also delicious. I had never seen it prepared that way before. I loved how crispy the rice was, especially paired with savory toppings like Chinese sausage and pork floss. Side note, I'm obsessed with the Coconut Ube Coffee. I could drink that all day. I'd love to see them add a pandan cream option too because that would be an amazing combo. The service: Our server was great. I can't remember her name, but she was attentive, patient, and genuinely made my party's experience better. Good vibes all around!
