Sara Lambert
I went for the first time last night and had a great experience! I got beef pho and my girlfriend got braised pork belly for our mains, and the wings for an appetizer and everything was delicious. They had some fun drink options we tried as well. Service was also great. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

I have only been here once but I really loved their summer rolls. I have tried many summer rolls at different restaurants, and this was the best. The filling was very tasty and it came with the best peanut sauce. Will absolutely come back when I visit Dumbo

Grace Lee
cocktails are surprisingly delicious and decent with obvious alcohol taste! Starfish Beach cocktail leans towards sweetness, while the Coffee Martini strikes a perfect balance, not overly sweet and very smooth. Food was okay. Modern atmosphere, perfect for gatherings. Plenty seatings. Friendly staffs.

This is the cleanest Vietnamese restaurant I’ve been to. The spring rolls and com tam are very good, the pho is a bit off (maybe too much star anise), the bun rieu chay is its own animal, don’t expect it to be like non vegetarian bun rieu.

Anne Mary Pham
Food here was quite good, but I would say a bit overpriced for Vietnamese food and not very authentic. The ambience is nice, but the server we had wasn’t super friendly. The chicken wings were delicious though – I’d definitely recommend getting those!

Food was delicious and the service was great! Over priced for sure but totally make sense given its location (not just this place, most of the restaurants). Just it’s not authentic Vietnamese Food. It’s more Americanized. In Dumbo/DT Brooklyn area, I like the one next to the gas station and across from Jay Street Metro Tech closer to DT more. It’s a great place to have a quick bite and meet some friends. But if you want to find authentic pho, Manhattan near NYU has better choices.

Delicious food, served quickly. The Banh Xeo and Bo Kho were delicious. Staff seemed like they didn’t want to be there.

SharonThe Baron
Food is tasty, but portions are small for the price.Six pieces of tofu for $17 and what amounted to a shot of iced coffee for $4. Again the food was very good, and i loved the tofu, just overpriced.

Molly Seltzer
The food is truly incredible. I rarely, if ever, give a place five stars but this place earned it. The butter clams were out of this world. We also had the beef stew and tofu vermicelli which were also great and the lemon ginger tea was super yummy. Don’t hesitate, just go.

Service was great, however, the Pho was not very good at all 🙁
