Sign of the times when a place originally serving Vietnamese Pho suddenly has false pretenses of becoming “fine dining” and starts indiscriminately introducing mediocre (at best) entree for $35+. Alas the local consumer’s ultimate gullibility and little sense of what good food really is means no one bothers to set adequate expectations
In the hope rationality prevails and does away with some of these nonsense restaurants claiming to be something they’re not

I’ve been here several times and never left satisfied. I decided to give it another try. The food and service weren’t great. We ordered mushroom wontons and charred eggplant salad as appetizers. Both were good, but not worth the price. We also ordered the banh xeo chay and spicy garlic noodles with lemongrass tofu. The waiter didn’t seem to know that chay means vegetarian (I’d give him a pass, but that was the name of the dish on the menu) and gave us the meat version. He came back to apologize, but made it seem like we should have said “vegetarian,” but he’s the one that works at a Vietnamese restaurant so maybe he should learn some words or at least know menu items. No bother though, they quickly remade it for us, but it was the worst banh xeo we’ve ever had. It was burnt, way too thick, and soggy. It was filled with portobellos and carrots, which completely destroyed the flavor. The spicy garlic noodles were good, but not $35 good. I will not be eating here again. I fully recognize that this is a review of the meatless options so maybe the meat dishes are better. However when the meat filled banh xeo came out by accident, it looked equally bad.

We had a wonderful gathering in the lovely back room. We reserved the space and had a party for my father‘s 90th birthday. We are about 25 people and there was enough room plenty of space. The food was yummy and plentiful. The service was spectacular and very friendly. The drinks were so good. I will go back. Also, in the months prior planning with Miro was a pleasure and he was very responsive and amiable to any of our special requests.

A favorite. Cozy, intimate, eclectic; everything you want a BK restaurant to be. The back patio is filled with plants and sick old TVs. The whole place is campy and warm and welcoming. The food & drinks are also divine.

Such a wonderful experience. Food was incredible. Very authentic Vietnamese. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Eclectic decor. Highly recommend
The only dish I really loved was the honey-glazed duck with taro purée — the crispy edges on the duck were fire. Everything else was kind of meh for the price. The longevity noodles were on the mushy side and felt heavy with the sauce.
The biggest letdown was the charred pineapple sticky rice dessert. Not sure if it’s their version of it, but it was just kinda dry jasmine rice with barely charred pineapples. Couldn’t taste the lemongrass flavor either.

Always loved this place but my last visit, the prices were very high - all apps $20, mains average $35 - $44.

The food is incredible, and they were very accommodating for large groups which can be hard to find in the city! We have a few picky eaters in our family, and were able to create a prix fix menu that made everyone happy. Will definitely be coming back!

Bricolage did a fantastic job coordinating a birthday dinner for my family this past weekend. Food was tasty as always and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend!

The spring rolls are ok, the beef pho has a stage acidic taste and the beef flavor is very hard to detect
