I came with a friend. The ambiance was nice. And this restaurant used to Cafe n Te. We sat down and placed our order. Exactly 30' later, no food, nobody bothered to ask. Overall, the service and the wait is not worth it.

So I saw this and look like it was a new place, but they said it's been around for a while and it's kind of weird because they have a different menu during the day and it was completely empty. When I came everything I see on yelp is not on the menu that I had except for what I wanted to try. Actually, there was a few things I wanted to try that I saw on yelp, but they didn't have them so they only had the one that I want to try, which were the mussels. They categorize themselves as fine dining for dinner but they give you a number at your table, which is kind of weird, but the ambience was nice. The servers were very polite. I wanted to try some of these different dishes. I wasn't that hungry and nothing really enticed me. The muscles were OK. I wish I had more to eat with besides that hard bread so I can soak up more of the sauce but overall, OK I might come back if their menu continues to rotate. If anybody knows about their daytime menu where I can find that let me know.

This is Bò né. A piece of chewy steak without flavor and gravy sauce for $23!? I have eaten at many places but never seen any Bò né dish like this. Not worth the money at all.

A great place to have breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Food is delicious and freshly made. Service is great. Big shoutout to Nhat for an amazing experience. We had the sup Bo vien, truffle fries, banh hoi nem nuong, & bun rieu. Kids loved the sup Bo vien. We finished all the dishes! Would definitely come back. It's nice eating outside too. Great ambiance.

It was mid-Feb that we visited Runam Garden for lunch. We found this place on yelp and it had overwhelming 5 star reviews and outdoor seatings (for the dogs) so we were excited to try. Not sure if it was our luck, but our experience here was just average. The restaurant itself is spacious inside and looked newly decorated. The service was very friendly. Food was just okay. The popcorn chicken had only a few "biteable" pieces, the rest were just deep fried breading lumps. Beef Luc Lac was okay- beef cubes could be a bit more tender, an the sauce could be more flavorful. The price for both dishes seemed high considering the portion. We sat outside with our dogs, and they have live music/karaoke (?) going on. This whole scene was thoroughly confusing to me. I wasn't sure if the singers were hired performers or just customers going up to karaoke. The singers/music were extremely loud, to a point it was unpleasant. I left our lunch feeling confused. It seems like they are trying to build an upscale Vietnamese restaurant with its pretty decor and expensive-ish pricing. But the live music/karaoke part makes it causal and almost dive-y. At the moment, I'm not sure if I would try to go back.

Small portion of mi quang with few pieces of chicken, porks, and 1/2 egg for $17 is way too expensive, won't come back.

I visited Runam for the first time on Thursday. The food choices were gourmet level. I had red wine filet mignon, cooked to tender well done perfection for me. A friend had the bone-marrow fried rice. Another had the garlic noodles. Some of the unique drinks include avocado smoothies and coconut water with pennyworth. We all loved our dishes. Oh- I almost forgot the truffle fries. Those were also a hit.

Clean and new. Love the outdoor patio setup. Was alittle cold today but I will be visiting more often closer to summer when it's warmer.

Parking: 9/10. Very spacious in a large plaza! Food: Bò né: 8/10. Bánh hỏi nem nướng: 9/10. Seasonal Easter dish. Huge portion and the meat is seasoned enough without the fish sauce. Chả giò: 9/10. Crème brulee: 8/10. Not enough caramelized sugar on top and a little too sweet for me. Chrysanthemum tea: 10/10. They use large chrysanthemum flowers with unlimited refills in the pot! Butter croissant: 5/10. Didn't taste fresh when we ate it. I love that they used very fresh veggies for their dishes! Ambiance: 10/10. Restaurant looks like a vintage Vietnamese French style cafe. Lots of workers, spacious seatings.

Runam Garden is a new restaurant located in the same plaza as the Sunrise Supermarket & Re Ca Phe. It has a cute, aesthetic interior and an outdoor garden-esque dining area. There is plenty of parking, and the service is friendly. Their food is a take on upscale Vietnamese fusion dishes, but it's apparent that the focus was more on the decor of the place rather than the taste of the food. Before the food came out, we were all given a little sauce plate filled with Maggi seasoning sauce and a side of Sriracha. This was the most flavorful thing they gave us. Truffle fries ($9): 2/5 - The fries were crispy but came out looking like regular fries... dipped in excess oil. There were no truffle flakes, cheese, garlic, or anything on it. I think the only truffle flavor my friends and I tasted was the flavor we were trying to imagine and manifest onto the fries we were eating. Garlic noodles w/ salmon ($19): 2/5 - The salmon had a nice crisp to it, but the noodles were completely bland. There was little to no garlic flavor whatsoever. It felt like I was eating plain noodles that had just been taken out of boiled water. Shaken beef ($19): 2/5 - The beef texture was fine, but the flavor was really lacking. There was no sauce or flavor that kept us indulged. The portion size was also not fulfilling or worth the price. TLDR; The restaurant is pretty & the vibes are great but the prices are really high considering the severe lack of flavor and the small portion sizes.

Awsome dinner food with mussels, bone marrow fried rice and excellend dessert. We think that we are in Belgium and France. I never have the real french chocolate croissant in US. This is the first time that I ate real french pastry!!! Really amazing that we can find Europe in this restaurant. They have menus for breakfast and lunch and dinner... More vietnamese style for lunch and more european authentic kitchen for dinner... Awsome and awsome!!! Such elite atmosphere. Beautiful restaurant. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone!!! The garden is awsome.. to recommend for family gathering. Delicious food, great atmosphere!!! Will come back!!!

Just had lunch with a friend. The restaurant is very clean and has a nice ambiance. My only gripe is that the portion is so small. The bowl itself is humongous but the food inside is so little. It looks rather lost. I realized inflation is hitting everyone but it's ridiculous to be charging your patrons almost $20 for bun rieu yet left still hungry. There are plenty of establishments in Bolsa where you can get your moneys worth. Sadly, I will not be coming back and will not refer any families or friends to this establishment.
