The papaya salad was very bright and fun and paired great with the crispy (shrimp?) chips. I just wish there was more chips. Loved the bo luc lac and how saucy it was. The garlic noodles were… kinda unremarkable and felt very one dimensional. Service was fine and we enjoyed our time here.

It had a 2019 Michelin mention. What went wrong!! Did ownership changed? Did the chef changed? We ordered three dishes and every one of them were blah or just sad. I seldom give bad reviews. Mostly because I do try to get restaurants before I go there. I think the previous owner must have cashed out and didn’t give the secret ingredient or technique for the recipes. Please do better.

Came in on New Year’s Day and there was no wait and empty tables. Food is flavorful with a good price tag.

If you’re of a weak lineage and MSG gives you “headaches”, probably don’t eat here.

Wow, what a gem. If it was reviewed by Jonathan Gold, you know you won’t be disappointed. We had a party of eight, and here’s what we ordered: Deep fried salmon belly X2, Shaken filet mignon w/whole garlic X2, Blood clams, Green papaya beef jerky salad, Pomelo salad, Fried rice with fish, Charbroiled colossal black tiger shrimp garlic noodles, Caramelized cat fish, chow fun-type noodles with beef. Everything was excellent. Staff communication with customer is not great (we were waiting at the door for 5 min without anyone talking to us or telling us what to do), but still nice people.

Came early right when they open for my birthday getaway. Walked and we seated ourself. Staff was nice although they couldn’t really speak English well. We manage to order our food.

All the dishes were very tasty but maybe too tasty as I suspect a lot of salt and our MSG as I’ve never been so thirsty. Service was friendly and prompt. I would rank the dishes I ordered

The food is just ok, nothing is outstanding. But very good service. The tables are divided and separated by the large size of clear plastic walls. I don’t like the butter fried chicken and crunchy salmon belly, they were too much greasy. I love shredded dried beef papaya salad, so delicious. The hot stone pot with pork is good with rice. The fried tofu is boring. Honestly maybe I didn’t order the right plates, our dinner were not as we expected.
