Fresh, delicious and great folks
The owner wants every customer to be able to enjoy not only the traditional food but goes a step further by bringing the latest in dishes created and perfected within the hottest cooks and cooking shows. This is a hidden gem in downtown Oakland
Our first time and we were not disappointed with all the beautiful dishes. Our 2 servers were wonderful. Recommended some dishes to us. The banh cuon was gorgeous. Cha ca la vong was sumptuous. Wife ordered spicy pho sate togo. We will be back to explore more of the menu.
