The ambiance at this restaurant is truly exceptional, and the food is great. However, I believe there's room for improvement in the vegetarian options; some dishes were explicitly unavailable ( The curries had shrimp paste in them, which cannot be removed ) in vegetarian versions. Nevertheless, it's a fantastic spot for a date night, with a bustling atmosphere and live music adding to the charm. I highly recommend trying the Vegan Yellow Curry—it was a standout dish, even though I initially hesitated to order it. As for cocktails, the Tropical Asian was absolutely fantastic.Vegetarian options: I recommend talking to the waiter before you order as the base of veg curries also have shrimp paste which cannot be removed.

I've spent 10’s of thousands at this restaurant over the years, drawn in by what was once the best orange chicken in town (maybe top 5 in the world I’ve had). Unfortunately, the quality has noticeably declined; the once-fresh chicken now is 1/5 the size, crunchy, and the type you'd find in a low-grade frozen dinner, which is disappointing given the premium price. Additionally, their delivery service has proven unreliable. My recent experience involved food arriving cold after the driver was tasked with managing 10 orders simultaneously. If you do choose to visit, I recommend dining in to avoid these issues, and perhaps skip the orange chicken altogether. The rest of the menu suffers similar cuts in cost/smaller portions/higher prices, but this review is largely for the delivery time and orange chicken failure.

Pan fried boa and green curry were top notch and Kiara was phenomenal. Free parking garage very close as well

I absolutely love this place, one of my favorite spots in Austin. I’ve been here many times. The first time I unintentionally ended up having a full four course meal because everything was so delicious. Since I’ve been back a couple of times my favorite thing is definitely the dim sum and the pho! Anytime I’m in the area. I always visit this place.

This place is so popular and rightly so. It is very good. I typically try something different every time. The best dish in my opinion is the Duck Red Curry. I can't recommend it enough, if you haven't tried it it is a must.I had the recommended Pho Rib, it is good but for the price you can get a lot good options in Austin. I wouldn't say it is the best pho in town but it is really good.Chrispy Pad Thai Chicken is okay, I wouldn't order it again. I don't like the crispy noodles. I prefer soft noodles.Drinks are good but get ready to spend $15 a drink.

Overall the food is good for the price! Great place to come w groups. They don’t take reservations but they do have a waiting list and we only had to wait 20 mins which wasn’t bad. The live music is a bit loud but gives the atmosphere a nice touch. The cuisine was good, the Pad See Ew with beef was the best thing we ate.

One of the best modern Vietnamese and Asian fusion restaurants in Austin and the country (we’ve done many states and have eaten at some dozens of similar restaurants). Beautiful decor and great ambience, great customer service, the food and cocktails are well prepared and well done - tasty, unique, great presentation, lots of flavor.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!! This is my favorite restaurant in Austin, and I try to go once a month. I recommend the Xiao Long Bao, Thai Tum Yum Coconut Fried Rice, Filet Mignon Stir Fry, and the Flambeau Everest Cheesecake. It's a must try if you're in Austin! Take me with you, actually ?
