    The grilled fish of the day when I was here was Salmon and it was the best salmon I've had in years. I also tasted the Oxtail and it was so flavorful I wanted to take some home.

    The chargrilled pork belly with rice noodles & broth is a must at lunch; shaking beef is a favorite of the dinner menu, & don't skip the freshly fried doughnut holes with ice cream. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

    The frog legs were fantastic. Very light tempura, tender, and tasty! A must have. I'm originally from MD so I'll take crab any day. The crab dish (get the whole one) was great, get ready to dig in!

    $2 beers are excellent. Noodles and rice equally good but I would go for the noodles; Slightly sweet and perfectly cooked. Flan dessert trumps banana crem brule. Indoor or outdoor seating, 5 seat bar

    You're going to want to bring a friend for this one, as Vietnamese pancakes are a touch larger than the sweet breakfast items you doused with Aunt Jemima when you were a kid.

    pineapple sake shot = not worth the money, ginger beer cocktail = very tasty if you like an herbaceous note in your drink, sizzling shrimp cake = fantastic, carmelized pork = ok

    This place is all around RAD! I love the design, location, ambience, staff, and especially the food. Great place for a date night on a patio!

    Stellar Bahn Mi, and every piece of pork on our table was majestic. Can't wait to go back! Beer is very reasonably priced as well.

    Banana Flower salad and Ginger Beer were delicuous. So was Carmelized Pork. Great atmosphere too, more sitdowny than I thought.

    The ginger beer with culantro and lemon is fantastic. Also, finish your dinner with a Vietnamese iced coffee.

    This isn’t your average Vietnamese restaurant tucked into the corner of suburban strip mall. Read more

    Try their delicious Pear juice. Imperial Rolls were too salty for my taste. Pork Bellies were sliced like bacons.

    Pho was subpar and service was extra slow. They don't carry hoison sauce and this place was too trendy to live up to what real Vietnamese food should taste like. Take it from a Houston born Vietnamese

    If you called it Asian fusion I wouldn't be too disappointed. It's an overpriced yuppie trap which has little to do with Vietnam!

    Avoid the sweet potato leaves as garnish. They taste like how a wet dog smells.
