Been here a few times now. Great Food and Nice Displays Always! Fun Vibes, Pleasant Atmospheres, and definitely a Very Welcoming Environment. I really like that they have upgraded to live music Entertainments and Karaoke Nights! My favorites are their Full Menu options, Plenty of Delicious Appetizers, and Flavorful and Hearty Hot Pots! Absolutely enjoyed Eating the Beef Salad ( Bo Tai Chanh ), (Bun Nem Cha Dac Biet) is so Good, which is Grilled Cured Pork served with lots of Fresh Herbs, Rice Wrappers, and Special Shrimp Sauce. (Bun Dau Mam Tom) or Fried Tofu with Steam Pork is absolutely Delighted! It is one of my Favorite on the menu! Love that Awesome Sauce and Vegetables! So Many Delicious Specialties Dishes!!! Their Thai Sate Seafood Hot Pot, The Crab Sate Seafood, and Goat Hot Pot with Bean Cured Sauce Hot Pots are very Tasty and Flavorful! My Family and Friends love coming here! Great for Birthdays and Occasional Gatherings!!! Looking Forward To coming back here for the Vietnamese New Years that is Coming up soon!

I walked in with another girlfriend on Thursday for dinner and there were only a few tables full. I asked for recommendations and our young and friendly waiter with blonde highlights (shout-out for good service!) suggested “Bun Dau Mam Tom” (fried tofu, fishcake and steamed pork with special sauce (fermented fish and pineapple?) – he said 9 out of 10 parties order this. However, I’m not a huge fan of the sauce and wanted something grilled. So we decided on “Bun Nem Cha Dac Biet”, which came with grilled pork, pork cake and fried wonton wrappers with a sweat sauce.

We always go here for the Bo Tu Vi. Very good. Service was good compare to other Asian restaurant. However the place is little run down over the year and Asian restaurant seem to not care. If it works why fix it attitude.

Horrible services and unethical business. I went in a big group and when they issued the bill, they added higher price then they were in the menu. We trusted them and didnt check till we gor home. They also forced us to pay 18% service charge without informing us in advance. Worse still, They also gave wrong order to my friend 3 times, and didnt give some people food till the end when others have finished their food. I want to support local business, but now I know why I was the only 2 groups in their restaurant on a busy Friday.
