The Vietnamese food here is amazing. Chef Kristen’s dishes are so creative and versatile. You can get acidic, sweet, salty, umami all in a single meal. The portions are perfect and the food is so fresh. Highly recommend going with multiple people so you can dine family style and try as many dishes as possible.

Met the owner while we dined here. Food was excellent and one of the best Asian cuisine in the area. We had a party of 13 also and place accommodated well!

We ordered dishes that we shared with a group of over 20 people.
The total bill was very doable. The food were fairly priced.

We enjoyed most of the food, except the baked clams were very overcooked which dried up the texture and ruined the taste. We are willing to coming back and trying more of their main dishes to re-evaluate.

I had the house special lobster with noodles. The serving was HUGE with tons of garlic and chives (living up to their name haha), jalapeños and chilies on top. Flavorful and delicious, will come back to try other dishes

The food is served family style. Although the chicken had flavor, it was a bit hard. Too crunchy. The noodles and rice were my favorite 😍

Parking: The owner and her staff were friendly and accommodating. I would go back

I'm so thrilled this location opened in Cerritos. I would drive down to OC to its original location. Personally, think this location is better. It's spacious and modern. There's also a private dining area you can reserve.
Great friendly service ? The menu selection is vast with lots of seafood options. So happy to have some modern traditional vietnamese closer to home versus driving out to OC.

First time to this restaurant. Went out with friends who have been here before. This is definitely a hidden gem in Cerritos! The food is made to order and delivered hot & very fresh to your table. Flavors are amazing!

Service was great. Refilled the water and was attentive to our group.

We tried a few dishes. We had the garlic noodles with shrimp. That was good. Also tried the salt and pepper calamari. It’s good but caution about it being spicy. We also tried a few different salads which was refreshing.

The decor was nice and pretty. I think it’s a nice place to take a date. Weds evening there wasn’t too many people which was nice.

Owner and staff went out of their way to be super hospitable, something I haven’t seen in a good while. Bun cha bowl was delicious with noticeably fresh garnishes. Will come back again soon to try the best hits.

Parking: Busy shopping center but not hard to find parking.

We went on a Tuesday for dinner, there weren’t that many people in the restaurant which told me what I needed to know.

Really wanted to support the small business, have seen amazing things online. Was really looking forward to this meal to celebrate my mom’s milstone in her cancer treatment. We saved our stomachs all day looking forward to this meal. However, was really disappointed.

We ordered about five dishes, two of which weren’t able to be ordered because the kitchen ran out of key ingredients (Mustard green rolls, seabass hot pot). What we were able to get sent to our table were razor clams & it really lacked the pungent Vietnamese flavors I grew up loving. Most notably, the size of the razor clams were super small and overcooked. Perhaps we went on a bad day, but there seems to be too many misses for me to warrant a second attempt. Our server was really nice & understanding and let us return the razor clams so I tipped him accordingly.

Kristin and her team are so amazing! We needed a venue to host for my brother in law dinner celebration for after his funeral. She was so wonderful to work with. She and her staff took good care of us. We had a wonderful buffet set up upon request and the food was all amazing! The rolls were my favorite! My toddler loved the fried rice. The setting was very intimate and my entire family raved about how the food was good and amazing and how attentive the staff was. We are so glad we were able to secure them last minute within the week we needed to plan my brother in law funeral. Kristin is such a gem and so compassionate. She’s a Jack of all trades! Business owner and chef behind the scenes. Her presence will make you feel like you want to be friends with this woman forever! I appreciate her so much and will cherish the memories we had there. He would have loved it! Thanks Kristin and to your amazing staff! We plan on going back the next time I’m in town!

The original restaurant is located in Garden Grove, but this is even better! When I came in with my dinner party, there was only two other people there. The food was just as good as the GG location but came out so much quicker. Usually at the original, there is always a 15-20 minute wait, but here we were seated right away!

I suggest the toothpick lamb—which is a little spicy—and the shrimp garlic noodles.
