So happy to find this Vietnamese food restaurant in my area. No need to drive long distance and deal with traffic and parking when i crave Vietnamese food. Service was excellent and plenty of parking. If you prefer vegetarian, just request no meat. Restaurant will substitute with tofu.

Came here on a Thursday night with my friend and we ordered the Pomelo Salad and Garlic noodles with shrimp. I believe it was a perfect combination-- heavy and light. The restaurant itself is in a cute plaza and very beautiful/up kept well. Total with 20% tip was ~$44.Pomelo salad was so delicious. I saw another review that said it was like a papaya salad but I think the pomelo salad is the perfect combination of bitter, sweet, and fresh! The sweet and bitter make it unique and different. The shrimp and meats in it are perfect, with the shrimp/rice cracker being the perfect amount of crispy. The garlic noodles with shrimp could be a tad bit more garlicy, its a bit heavy but perfect with a pomelo salad. Love the way the shrimps are cooked, it's perfect! Lastly, the service was spectacular. Servers would always check up on us. Very kind staff and very attentive.

Quite possibly the worst Vietnamese food I have ever had in my life. They advertise being mentioned in a Michelin article as the front page of their menu. I should have known that was a red flag because if a restaurant is good, they don't need to advertise their Michelin mention so prominently. We were also the only ones in the restaurant - also another red flag. Service was kind but all over the place. Our server couldn't answer questions about the menu. He was sweet tho. Food is an absolute 2/10. The fried tofu with chives was the only thing we ordered that was good. Bun Bo hue had no aroma, noodles undercooked, meat dry, and the broth was just aggressively salted with a sharp kick of spice. It's one of my favorite dishes but I couldn't finish it. Com Chay was so confusing. Portion size was tiny. The rice was supposed to be in a hot clay pot - it was not, and not crispy at all as it should be. It basically was lightly toasted regular rice. The interior is having an identity crisis. It tries so hard to be this modern/gastro pub/bistro thing, with ballroom chandeliers. It's the most random place ever. Absolutely avoid this place.

Food is fantastic. Quality of ingredients is the best I have had at any "Asian" restaurant. Hidden gem and great friendly service

The food was really tasty!!! Some of our orders were Holy crunchy chicken wings, Calamari, Fried rice with salted fish (love this one) and Filet mignon, sausage, egg on skillet with rice. The server, Jose, was amazing!. Will most likely come back ?

WOW! We are always in the area due to ice hockey and being at the EastWest arena. We found this restaurant tonight and absolutely loved everything! Jose was amazing! Ann is so wonderful! Had the pork spring rolls, fried calamari (super), filet (crazy good) and bok Choy! Do not pass up this restaurant! If all you have experienced of Vietnamese cuisine is Pho… please!!! Come here and enjoy! Next time we are trying the roasted garlic crab and the turmeric fish! We will now be making this a regular restaurant! Plus their music selection is spot on! Thank you!

Pomelo salad is the only reason I regularly go here. I cannot recommend other items since the prices are quite high for the items. $18 for stir fried vegetables seem too much. Also seafood are pretty expensive for the quality and quantity of the items.The servers are usually pretty friendly but heavily depends on the server.The inside is spacious and somewhat clean for Asian restaurants.

Delicious delicious vietnamese-fusion establishment! We picked up a take-out order on a Saturday evening around 6pm and there was little to no wait. The restaurant was half full and we called in to order beforehand. We got the:pomelo salad (3/5) - it tastes similar to a papaya salad, except I think papaya salad is better. The pomelo is really delicate and the one we had was quite bitter/astringent and not sweet at all. I imagine this order can be a hit or miss.shaken beef (4.5/5) - super delicious! The beef is perfectly juicy and tender. Took off half a point because the portion is a bit smol. garlic noodles (5/5) - the star of the restaurant - the garlic noodles are SO good. Perfectly bouncy and deliciously seasoned.fried chicken (4/5) in both sauces - cooked to a crispy and juicy perfection, but I think I still prefer Korean fried chickenParking is free and ample but the parking lot can be pretty crazy here. The spots are small, there are lots of people walking around, and the aisles are narrow.

This is my 2nd time here and now I get to leave a review. The food is delish and the service is great! They're a good size restaurant with a lot to choose from the menu! I definitely highly recommend this place! Thank you!
Delicious food, decent friendly service (depending on time) and not as crowded as the original location in Westminster. These garlic "angel" wings are just "heavenly" (pun intended).

I enjoyed my meal here!First and foremost, the servers are the best. Both our host and server were incredibly sweet and friendly. Service was amazing!My group of 3 ended up ordering Shaken Beef with Garlic Noodle, Crunchy Sea Salt Garlic Fries, Crunchy Garlic Butter Chicken Wings, Thai Tea, and Avocado and Chocolate Smoothie. The food was great! It tasted less fusion and more Asian, if you know what I mean. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasty. Really liked the garlic noodle! Fries were addicting and the wings were juicy and crispy. I was a bit disappointed as they didn't have chocolate for my chocolate and avocado smoothie, so it ended up just being an avocado smoothie...not quite what I wanted. But the servers were so sweet and nice about it that I don't hold it against them too much. The menu is quite large so it is a bit overwhelming to know what to order. Overall, I really enjoyed our choices! And I'd 100% order the garlic noodle and fries again!
