Cozy spot with only 6 or 7 tables and dishes made just a few feet away. Duck gyoza are must try. Fun whiskey menu, and incredible homemade ice cream.

Another excellent experience from the Cicada family of restaurants. Overall I really enjoyed the food and thought that the majority of the dishes were excellent and unique. I thought they did a great job at selecting the right dishes for the season. There were a mix of lighter more refreshing dishes as well as heartier ones which felt right for the end of summer/start of fall. The hot dishes (esp the soup) came out piping hot, while the cold dishes came out cold which I thought was a nice contrast and made everything seem very fresh. I look forward to returning soon!

Popular place that needs reservation in advance (likely because the shop is somewhat small). The staff was extremely friendly and kind, offering a sake drink as a start on the house. The golden dragon (?) flower sake was amazing.

However, the shop interior felt a bit decrepit - my stool was rocking back and forth. The egg noodles were well cooked but overall alright. $35 per person with appetizers.

Wonderful place to visit in Bow Market.

We ordered the Papaya Salad and Mushroom Noodles. Both were refreshing and flavorful.

Their drink menu has something for everyone. I'm not even the biggest fan of Sake and I was still able to find something for me.

The staff are super friendly and accommodating. They were more than happy to walk through their drink menu with us to help us make a selection.

I will definitely try to make my way here again next time I'm in the area!

As a bar, the vibes are great. The noodle soups were quite bland though. It felt like soup you'd give to a sick person that couldn't handle too much richness. Tasted good, but it didnt feel substancial. The amaro ice cream was strong, like a punch. Would recommend for the adventurous.

The space was amazing. The moment you walk in the cozy well appointed eclectic atmosphere transports you to Vietnam. Reminded my wife and I of our time in Hanoi. The entire team from the owner to the service and kitchen team are warm and welcoming and took great care of us. All of that said, the food is the real star of the show. The menu is simple but not lacking in delicious options. My favorite starter was the mushrooms. The Eaves noodles were fantastic with a rich and warming broth. Wonderful experience from start to finish.

This is not your father’s Pho shop. Rather it is a most excellent, well executed, refined small menu of Vietnamese dishes.

The Duck tartare had excellent seasoning and textures.

The Shrimp Gyoza is very well executed with interesting flavors.

The Eaves noodle bowl is the obvious choice for the flagship dish. Noodle texture and cook was perfect. The ‘Salad’ topping was completely appropriate and not the usual Pho toppings. The beef broth was the centerpiece of this bowl: refined in texture, seasoning, flavors and heat. Not your father’s Vietnamese noodle bowl.

Definitely worth the trip.

What to say...Amazing food, service and ambiance. The duck tartare was an amazing dish. The contrasting flavors and textures made it one of my favorite dishes I've had recently. The beef noodles that followed were equally amazing. The spicy food, warm hospitality and a couple glasses of Sông Cái made it a perfect meal on a cold evening.
