The atmosphere is very pretty. But the food is essentially tasteless. Definitely the most bland pho I’ve ever had. The papaya salad is very bad. When we asked if we could switch our ohs for the fried rice they said that’s against policy and we’dhave to pay full price. The thai tea also was not good, very watered down and bitter. The customer service was non existent. Couldn’t get our money back and left hungry. Don’t waste your money

My sister went here with her friend to study and was never greeted by a waiter or server so she and her friend sat down. After a while a waitress comes over and says that they will be kicked out if they don’t order. But how can they order anything without menus!!! So they asked for menus and was STILL WAITING for those for another 10-15 minutes for those to come. My sister tries to wave down a waiter because they weren’t properly serviced and assuming her wave for attention was taken as a wave for some other reason and the manager came over and aggressively told them they had to leave. This is more so just a review to let the manager know that he should work on hospitality and customer service !

In the age of Instagram and aesthetic dining, I came across a trendy spot that seemed to have it all—vibrant decor, artsy vibes, and a promise of affordable eats. Drawn in by the photos and prices on Google Maps, I decided to give it a shot. But on arrival, I was met with a surprising price increase, about $5-7 more per dish than listed online though Google. Already a cautious skeptic of style-over-substance establishments, I hoped the food would redeem the initial disappointment.
For my meal, I chose the “broken rice,” a dish typically known for its hearty comfort. What I received, however, was far from it. Served in a cardboard container with plastic utensils, the presentation was lackluster. Cutting with a plastic knife and fork was far from ideal. The pork chop was mostly bone, leaving me with little to savor, and the rice was unremarkable—a truly underwhelming experience considering the inflated price.
My partner opted for the “crab meatballs udon soup,” which fell short of expectations as well. The broth looked and tasted suspiciously like instant ramen seasoning—hardly the rich, complex base one anticipates in a quality broth. With just two shrimps and a pair of bland, non-crab-tasting “crab” meatballs, it was a pale imitation of what could’ve been a memorable bowl.
Then came the “teddy bear” Thai tea, a concoction that held so much promise visually but was, sadly, flavorless. The cute bear-shaped ice, which I imagined would dissolve into a sweet, unique twist, turned out to be tasteless and rock-hard, contributing nothing to the drink. Bland, underwhelming, and seemingly all style, no substance.
In the end, the restaurant’s appeal lies in its decor and atmosphere, but with disappointing dishes that don’t live up to their visual allure, I won’t be revisiting. Dining here feels like paying a premium for a photo op rather than a satisfying meal. If you’re in it for the vibe, it’s worth a peek. For food? You might want to look elsewhere.

wow absolutely wow. I just never expected to open the door to what looked like a hole in the wall from outside and enter a little oriental paradise that looked like something cut straight out of Japan. I was skittish at first because there weren't many menu items......... im glad I didn't this place was absolute hidden gem in Pembroke Pines.
lets start with the food: I ordered Raman with chicken and shrimp. I wasn't too sure about the plate when I saw it but once I got the first taste in it was absolute heaven. I will say the only reason it wasn't perfect is because it was a little light.mabey for my gf. but besides that amazing. (5-10% more portion would make it absolutely perfect, yes I know tough times but I gotta be fair). ordered a milk tea at the end for my gf and myself. ordered the teddy bear for my gf and OMG that thing was gorgeous and tasty. event felt bad when she ate the bear.
The atmosphere: if you have ever gone to a little Japanese cafe in Osaka or Kyoto this is a good reminder of how creative decorations can be (yes I know they are Vietnamese but their restaurant reminds me of Japanese cafes). The animae collections are gorgeous, decorations are impeccable and the karaoke rooms are special. u simply must try them. the vibe is super sweet with oriental music playing in the background.
the service: the boys and girls were quiet but super respectful and even with the language barrier they communicated well and as best they could. they looked clean and well groomed. wonderful people
the prices: fair considering other restaurant prices. id much rather pay a little more for this gorgeous spot than go to McDonalds.
good job lads, this place looks amazing.

Lovely spot for a date night or a catch-up with friends! The people who work there are cool and friendly and the spot itself is so chill. Love all the little terrariums and plants. Mandarin soda is tasty as is the pandan bev. The food is delicious as well- honestly consistently a great spot all-around. Near a kimchi mart as well for when I want to buy snacks after!
