Really great pork belly skewers, shaken beef and cocktails.Next time to try a few new things I’ll order banh mi and the carpaccio - a lot of great stuff on the menu.The Morning in Hanoi cocktail was great (like an espresso martini but Vietnamese coffee). The Pandan Painkiller cocktail put me in the tiki mood - excellent.The Out of Office bourbon cocktail wasn’t different enough to order again, and the spring rolls were… fine, just nothing super elevated like the rest of their bites.Awesome atmosphere and vibe.

An amazing place to grab drinks and food. The drinks were simple but very delicious. The food was flavorful. Try the wings and Morning in Hanoi.

I love tiki, and this is probably the closest you’ll get to an “authentic” tiki experience in Calgary. Just missing a fake volcano spewing stage fog and surf movies on some television.(Yes. I am aware that it’s a Vietnamese restaurant that serves tiki drinks, but just add some decorations and you have a fusion smash hit in the works. - maybe some Spam Fried Rice too)Dietary restrictions: People with Nut Allergies should avoid.Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible.

Quite loud, but funky, fun vibes. Food is delicious, but extremely small portions, which makes it pricey.

The cutest speakeasy vibe + Vietnamese restaurant with Flo Rida playlist. Such a fun atmosphere. The drinks are strong and well balanced. The Shaken Beef was our favorite. Our server was so friendly and we had the best time!
Sink Pisser
If the incredible food and drinks don’t make you swoon, just wait until you leave the bumping hip hop to the vintage Vietnamese pop playing in the bathroom. Relieve yourself in this minimalist sink amidst painted palm fronds and imagine yourself peeing outside in a small town near Saigon in the 1980s. The sink is a great height and sports an automatic motion-sensing tap that will activate as you sway to the dreamy tunes.

Drinks were amazing, so unique! The food was very delicious, however I thought the portions were a little small. I wanted to go to a cocktail bar for my birthday with some friends without the insane prices and paper lantern was perfect for what I was looking for! Not too hard to find either! I will for sure be back!
Exceptional service, knowledgeable and friendly staff. If I could leave a higher review I would. Thank you again I’ll definitely be back. Ps bring back the “legend of Ed” cocktail
Relatively poor start on their part. Had a reservation for a table of three, got sat at what would be a table for two. After asking if we could combine the table beside us so that we could have a comfortable dinner and lots of shareables, we were scoffed at and told "we have lots of reservations, we normally sit three people at this coaster-sized table". We were going to leave, i was looking at reservations elsewhere as this was laughable and poorly oriented service. Finally they agreed after much debate to combine the tables. The manager came over, said a few mocking words before saying we had to be out by 1930. The time was 1800. That was acceptable. The drinks were fantastic, however the food fell way short, as did the service. The only things with flavour was the crispy crepe, the rest of the food failed to have any taste. The waitress tried to be nice after but obviously we were left with a bad taste after the initial interaction. Further to mention the steps down to the front entrance of this place were not shovelled and extremely slippery - something to consider perhaps is shovelling your entrance?

5$ for unsalted stale peanuts. Food and drinks were disappointing. Don't understand the current rating.
