So delicious!! First thing I noticed was the beautiful presentation, that the nigiri were wraped with a strip of seaweed. May be a small touch but most places do not do the little things. Another small thing that mattered to me was that they used a higher quality brand of chopsticks than most. Back to the food, the Salmon Hand Roll was something I had never tried before, and I do think I will stick with regular rolls and nigiri but it was good! Seems portable, held up well and very tasty. The Miso Soup was great, came hot, and the tofu was the perfect consistency. The two types of nigiri I got were salmon and crabstick, both of them tasted really delicious. The rice was packed together so it wouldn't fall apart, but not so much it would be tough. Will be ordering again. :)

Got the passion fruit juice and the Viet box. It was very good and came with a lot of food considering how cheap it was. I was so stuffed I didn’t even finish all of it. My mom got the Pad Thai which was also delicious. I was expecting it to be more packed since it was a Friday night but maybe people don’t know about it? I’m definitely gonna visit again though

I was the only customer in a Tuesday night. This was the only open restaurant that you can eat sushi in the downtown area. Staff were very helpful.Sashimi and nigiri were not very fresh. Spider roll sushi was good. Seaweed salad was very big portion.Overall was good, but I won't recommend to order sashimi from there.Overall ambiance was good too. As I mentioned I was the only person there.

The lighting was nonexistent, and the restaurant was completely empty Sat night. Don't come here for any authentic flavors... food was extremely bland. No salt on fried chicken wings. Pho didn't have much depth or flavor to it. Banh Mi, while I asked for grilled pork, was char siu without any crust. There was also no pate on the bread, which was also untoasted.Long story short, service is fine. Food is bad. Would not come back or recommend anyone here for any reason.

Went with the family yesterday food was good but waitress was mega rude and messed out order plus were forced to give 20% tip even if the service was bad. Won’t be going there again.

Completely fine. But as per every restaurant that serves dishes from 5 or 6 countries, each of them is OK, but none of them are good.

Used to be pretty good ambiance and attentive staff with fresh ingredients foods. Now, looks like new staff, still unsure of what cuisine and chefs are preparing. May be it was a bad day when I visited but the place is lacking the vibrant ambiance it used to be. The food is okay but not outstanding. Fresh side herbs seem to be shrinking too, may be out of seasons?

We dropped in on a Thursday night. The food was delicious - quail legs, pork and egg on rice, and a couple of other things. The inside is really nice and the employees were very kind.

It's really hard to rate this. They had no bartender, but still handed us a drink menu...but virtually nothing on it was available. The new waitress had not been trained much at all, not her fault, but didn't know how to explain what anything was. The food was both great and weird at the same time, or maybe I should say unexpected. If it's described as "banh mi" I expect a rice flour roll, not a regular bun, but the filling was great. The udon was really good. The black pepper calamari had a good sauce with no taste of pepper, and the squid was overcooked and rubbery (but still good). This place also needs to figure out what it really is... For example, the "Viet Box" consists of wonton soup and two other not-remotely-Vietnamese items. I feel like this could be a five star place, but it isn't right now.

Food is not so bad, but the waiter was absolutely unfriendly and rude.First time in my life I heard a radio advertisement in a cafe ?I bet this place will be bankrupt soon because on Saturday evening there were no
