We had the chef tasting and it was excellent. It included many unique and tasty dishes. None of us went home hungry. Perfect spices and great combinations of flavor. Service was very attentive but still gave us tons time to chat and enjoy each course.

I love this place but last night was the first night I felt like the quality of the food wasn't the best. Everything just was sweet. Again, I'm a regular, I love this place so I was so surprised. The drinks are always and still are amazing.

Excellent service by all staff. Food taste was great although it came out a bit cold and the fluke was too dried out. It has always been a terrific restaurant but for whatever reason this visit left me a bit unimpressed.

My family and I can not stop talking about how delicious and creative the food was. We had excellent service and never felt rushed. Of all the Michelin Bib Gourmand places we've been to, this is by far, the best one and deserves at least a Michelin star for the quality of service, ingredients and creativity. Our favorite entree was the vegetable curry—a simple yet very flavorful dish. We ordered several dishes to share and each was a feast for the eyes and was memorable in presentation and taste.

Tried their tasting menu which was unusual for me but pretty much enjoyed everything on there great selection. This is a easy date night place

Amazing flavors and interesting dishes. They were very accommodating when we found ourselves caught in traffic and running late. The pork dish was my favorite.

The wait staff is very attentive. She gave good suggestions too. We ordered multiple fried octopus, octopus salad, papaya salad, chicken wings, prawns, Hanoi style noodle, and veggie curry. Most sauces are sweet and sour (fish sauce). They are good but not wow-good. The curry is the least flavorful curry dish I’ve had in my life. Only the Hanoi style noodle stood out.
It has a decent cocktail selection

If you are Vietnamese or Asian, save your time and skip this place. The food was under seasoned, underwhelming, and way too pricey for what you get.

We ordered the papaya salad, chicken wings, the meat platter with the extra wagyu add on, and the crab fried rice. Everything was bland. All the meats on the platter tasted identical with the same flat seasoning. The textures were all the same and some pieces were overly chewy. The extra 26 dollars for the wagyu was a waste since it had no flavor and was tough.

Overall, the food was below mid. You are better off going to Chinatown where you can get something cheaper and actually flavorful.

Had dinner in this place a year ago and it was an impressive experience and so we came back flying all the way from California....It was a big downer. This resto has lost its luster. We were served with cold soup, the crab fried rice had only few strands of crab meat and it did not taste crab at all. The rice was rather oily. The meat platter is nothing special. Our family wouldn't mind paying for the price as long as we get the quality we deserve. No wonder this establishment fell off the Michelin guide list.

The food was great! Especially enjoyed the wings, the noodle pork broth, and the papaya salad. For happy hour menu, seated at the bar... price was very reasonable and good amount of food too. Delish.
