Note the Bahn Mi (did I spell it correctly?) is toasted, not fried with butter or grease on the grill Service is fast and on it! n.b. this is probably my first 5 * review in 12 months

Fish was crispy and they used swaii fish and came with a creamy dipping sauce. Fries probably would've been crispy if we ate it there, but overall okay. They have a line dedicated for to-go/pick up orders and they have a camera where they can see if someone pulls up to bring the food directly to your car. I also noticed they had 2 pickleball courts which is pretty unique! Parking - within their own lot

I believe they advertise themselves as Vietnamese-style crawfish. I'm used to New Orleans/Louisiana style crawfish, but nonetheless, I was still eager to try. They started selling crawfish at 3 I got in line at 3:25. Line was small but moved veryyyy slowly. I got 2 lbs. ($11/lb pricey !!) of the hot & buttered -spicy, 2 eggs, and a sausage. It took about 45 min. to get my food. The sausage was decent but ultimately, I didn't taste any spice. It wasn't spicy at all. It was easy to peel so that was nice but I could tell the crawfish weren't from Louisiana waters .Idk i didn't like it, that's just me. It was worth a try though. The lines were long and I only see them getting longer as summer approaches. Still check them out, you just may like it!

You can tell the staff really cares about each other. I got the fried chicken piccata and pimento cheese fritters and one of the whiskey cocktails. And I mean to tell you I CLEANED MY PLATE. there was nothing left. Everything was so fresh and seasoned and delicious. A few weeks later I came on a Saturday night with friends and the service was a bit slower and table options were limited. We were still comfortable and just had a to wait a long time. We got our appetizers before our drinks. The crab toast wasn't my fave but I liked the pimento cheese fritters again. My friend and I both got the shrimp and grits dish and once again cleaned our plates. My other friend got the chicken picatta and loved it as well. I got a chicken to go.

There's two homes converted into a restaurant with plenty of outdoor seating as well. It was a beautiful, sunny day so we decided to sit under the shade outside. For drinks we ordered sangria and pineapple mimosas. The blueberry ginger pancakes seemed like a hit based on reviews so I ordered that as my entree. The portion size was huge so it was very filling. The ginger was not overwhelming at all and really complemented the sweetness of the blueberry toppings. I also ordered a the pork belly deviled eggs which were pretty yummy as well. My fiancé ordered the gumbo which was very savory and filled with the perfect combo of shrimp, chicken and andouille sausage. The service was good as well. Our waiter checked on us several times throughout our meal. Very solid brunch spot in the heights!

To my surprise, I still ended up waiting 50 mins to pickup my food which was really frustrating. I understand patience and this being a small business but do believe preorders should have a speedier process! On to the food, I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors of both Vietnamese spices and traditional bbq in the rice. Not pictured I also tried the sausage which was as amazing as well. I think for the price, these were phenomenal. Unfortunately, something I ate from this spot, got me sick and due to this and the increased wait times, not sure if this will be a spot i'll revisit.

I would give this place 3.5 stars if I could due to its unique concept and creative dishes, but the…read moreactual flavors and execution brings it down to 3 stars for me. I recommend getting here very early, and preorder online if you can. I got here probably 15 minutes before they opened and there was already a line forming. Plenty of covered seating and the lawn area is pretty scenic. Here's what I ordered: Brisket BBH: the BBH is pretty good. Clean and light broth, but I think it would've benefitted from a little more sate as it was on the blander side. I think the brisket didn't really complement the dish. It was just thrown in there. It honestly would've been better without it, as the brisket makes the price tag quite steep... Pork ribs, brisket, spare ribs: gonna group these all together because they were all a bit of a letdown... Brisket wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be for a Viet BBQ place. Both the pork ribs and spare ribs were dry. I like mine to be falling easily off the bone. Smoked turkey: most and flavorful but a little too salty. Bo La lot sausage: it was pretty flavorful, but I think if they really wanted to elevate this dish, they should wrap the sausage in lolot leaves... so it's true to its name. Curry dish: this tastes like your typical Thai red curry paste from the can. Rice was also a bit dry. Banh Xeo: probably my favorite dish. Very unique flavor... fatty, rich, savory! I would get this again. Too bad it's so small! Vietnamese slaw: quite literally (barely) pickled cabbage... not sure what makes it Vietnamese... Bok choy: typical stir fry wok style flavor. It's good, but small portion. Overall, I was a tad bit disappointed. The marketing team does a really good job of making their dishes look so delicious. But the reality was underwhelming... and pricy...

Chef Bham (previously from Alinea, amongst a few other baller restaurants) is a literal genius. The menu was a really thoughtful ode to various Filipino dishes with a little twist on each. You get the comforting tapsilog and taho that you might have grown up with alongside interesting flavors and ideas. Pandesal made into a tart crust, kinilaw made with daikon and beef...they also are very good at keeping in mind dietary restrictions: I was the annoying halal option, but, man did my experience rock. Pork belly replaced with enoki mushrooms or octopus, and the dish was still amazing. My sister was unfortunately gluten free, but still able to enjoy every bite. Because of the location, you get the experience of sitting with the chef and his team and that alongside them in almost in the kitchen. It's very cozy and different, and you learn a lot about each dish because of it (and his amazing team). I love Musaafer, but this may have become my new favorite high end place.

Also the fried rice with Wagyu, quail egg and topped with caviar was fantastic. Great texture and presentation. Service was impeccable. Chef Bham and the staff were deeply knowledgeable and genuinely passionate. Every glass was topped off before we even noticed. You could tell they weren't just serving food but also they were part of the storytelling. This experience deserves every bit of praise. If you're looking for something beyond the usual dining.

4 1/2 stars for me, but worth rounding up…read more The Classic Loraine Egg Tart was very good. I usually enjoy ending with the last bit of crust, but although it was good, it just wasn't finish worthy for me. Just a little too dry. To be clear, it was the edge part that was dry, the layer below the quiche was perfect. Otherwise, I enjoyed it enough to order again. I appreciated the Spring Greens, dressed lightly, that was included (my preferred side with a quiche). I tried my daughter's OSC Sandwich (Whitehurst Farms Chickens, Orange Sesame Glaze, Tiger Tear Saw, Avocado, Jalapeno, Marinated Egg, Pickles, Fruit, Tallow Chips, Focaccia), it was great. Maybe better than the Tart, I would certainly order it for myself for lunch. I know the honey pie is a big hit, but for me it was too sweet (I KNOW, that doesn't seem possible, right?!). However, the Duffin (hope I spelled that right) - OH MY GOODNESS, it was the best marriage of donut and muffin I would not even have dreamed of, but so happy someone did. Yummy!!!!! Note: I really appreciate that this "Crap Free" (their words not mine) establishment doesn't use artificial colors or flavors, and supports local farms.
