Found this place through the seated app. The shaking beef was solid.

Dont order delivery here. Possibly the worst pho I have ever eaten. The noodles are one single congealed lump. More importantly, the amount of brisket is unacceptable.

Food is great - always a reliable spot for a delicious meal! Have tried a lot of the menu and have not found something I haven’t enjoyed. Would highly recommend if you’re in Dumbo!

I love this place, it’s my top 3 Viet restaurant in NYC. The flavor is very authentic to Vietnamese growing up in the south like me.

With my recent visit, I have a few critiques:
- Oc len xao dua: it was mussels and not snails. I know you guys noted that down in the menu but I still feel bothered by it. Also the mussels doesnt really go well with the coconut sauce. I think you guys should remove that dish from the menu (you guys have better dishes on the menu!)

- Pho ga: the pho itself is on the sweeter side, which is not my preference. The lemon/green sauce was very sweet and tastes weird. We even asked the waitress to confirm if it's supposed to taste sweet like that and she said yes. I think you guys can do better with the sauce, or just do without it. Ems in 86 did the Pho Ga really well tho.

The rest of the food was really good, especially the Bo Luc Lac and Lemongrass clams. I didn't get the Bo Kho this time but definitely highly recommend!

This was a lovely experience! We were sat 30 mins before our reservation, very kind, very accommodating. We had the frozen cocktails, specifically because they make them fresh to order/same day with no added filler. They aren’t super sweet, which I appreciate, but are still too easy to drink, very, very dangerous!
We got the calamari, butter mussels, the crepe, and the soupless noodle soup. My favorite was definitely the coup but I would eat all of them again, preferably alone so that I don’t have to share 🤭 the dip that came with the calamari was also very nice
The only thing better than the food was our service! The girl was so nice, so friendly, so helpful, we were honestly hoping she’d sit with us, but she surely gets that all the time.
