A very nice and cozy establishment. The food that the waiter very kindly recommended to us was extraordinary and the portions were generous.

We almost drove right by the restaurant because there was no sign, but fortunately we found our way in to the cozy bungalow dining room. We ordered the turmeric fish hotpot which was full of flavor with crispy rice and soft flavor fish that was amazing. Everything else we ordered did not disappoint--the watercress salad with beef was fresh and tender, steamed rice cakes with shredded shrimp and taro root crispy rolls were unique spins on traditional dishes that were really shareable and delicious. Definitely will come back!

What a stunning restaurant Viet Tapas Bar is. From the first step. It is relaxing and minimal. Feels serene and relaxed. Service is fast, and polite. Super pleasant staff that is quick to get what's needed. Viet tapas' are simply delicious. Each plate is a surprise and a different take on classics. Quite an enjoyable place.

Walked out when I saw that a 18% service charge was added on top and was not a gratuity. Just price the food appropriately.

lol, the caulking gun was left over as a gag gift btw according to a Yelper. Don't want you all to think it wa# sloppiness on their part. They are terrific and hope to get back there soon

Lovely interior, incredible food and reasonably priced!! Definitely recommend the bison if you're looking to find something you can't find elsewhere. Everything is awesome, though. I really hope this place gets more business! They really care about their guests and it shows.

Super unique vietanamese tapa restaurant! It's rare to see veitanamese tapas, it's usually pho and bahn mis. But this place takes it to the next level, with true tapas, authentic to the taste, and super unique. I got the spring rolls, the bison roll, the stone pot rice bowl, and the diced lamb dish. The bison roll and the stone pot rice bowl were my favorite. Bison roll was so unique and well flavored. Stone pot rice bowl, reminds me of a stone bibimbap, and it was delicious. The lamb was a bit pricey. Reminds me of diced filet mignon french style the Chinese usually serves. I loved the ambiance and interior. Super mellow and chill. Great spot to catch up with friends or for date night. Service was friendly and really quick. Overall, definitely recommend!

Completely delicious! Highlights were the salad, lemongrass chicken broth, and shrimp rice cake. Truly excited to have a casual but nice local spot for a glass of sake and great food. Only note: slightly more volume and pep to the music would make the space even better.
Lovely little spot that was almost too easy to overlook. I'm glad we didn't!The food was rich yet subtle, with the favorite being the fish in a clay pot. The decor is minimal yet artistic. Excellent sake selection.We got four tapas plates, three glasses of sake and it came out to around $130.

Terrible experience. It was so bad. Food was very unremarkable and shockingly expensive for what you get. It was overpriced small portions - they were trying way too hard to be different and interesting (for example the spring rolls were triangles instead of rolls (and not very tasty). Owner (chef?) was also incredibly rude - had the waiter scold us because our 2 year old had a little rice under his chair after eating - said they were too busy to have to clean the floor (two other tables seated at the time). Makes me wonder what else in the kitchen they're "too busy" to clean... Not sure how they got 5 stars. So many better Vietnamese restaurants around this area.

Lovely ambiance for dinner. Went early on a weekday so not busy. Great, attentive service and really delicious food. Nice cold sake selection. We had the clay pot turmeric fish, beef watercress salad, crispy spring rolls and coconut sorbet. Can't wait to go back to try more dishes!
