First time here Came in on Friday evening (11/21/25) was greeted by a guy. We told him that we had…read more7 ppl and he made a comment and a face like he wasn't happy to serve that many ppl. It took him awhile to take our order too. The food came out good. We each ordered different items since there's quite a selections. The food is authentic for Vietnamese food. Bun Bo hue (spicy noodle soup) was good pho - was good Vermicelli with grilled pork, shrimp and egg rolls- was good and a plus for the fish sauce to my taste Banh hoi with grilled pork- a lot of vegetables and was good. Rice plate with grilled pork, steamed eggs, shredded pork (bi) and tofu/shrimp patties (tau hu ky)- was also good Rice plate with grilled chicken and all the other items - was good Dim sum- was good Overall, everything was delicious except the unfriendly service we had with the guy. But will come again. Update: came back again on a Friday evening on 12/5/25, same thing with the guy. Had this RBF, very unfriendly, makes the guests vibes so unpleasant. He shouldn't be a waiter and should just be in the back. Customer service is very important. Anyways, thank goodness that he didn't wait on my table, it was a lady and she was pleasant. Again... food was amazing and delicious. I'll still come back and just have to disregard this person's attitude.

One of the kind sire gave me locations, then another great gentleman recommended their in house made chamoy boyyyy to have with my Paloma. AND I MUST SAAAY BRUH ... go get that chamoy. Idc, go get it. Delicious. Scrumptious. Now to the seafood boil, amazing. I'm saying, I was eating with my eyes closed. I had to stop and just sit back in between bites and thank the lord. OH and the place seemed fun inside. It was someone's birthday and they played the song " birthday b**ch ", and it was hyped. Yeah I'd come back.

Another Akitaca employee (young white dude with dark long hair) was cleaning a table near the host area and also ignored us. My wife asked him if we should seat ourselves and he said to wait for someone. After several minutes, a waiter came to us and said to take a seat in the wait area til a waiter/waitress is ready. After another 5 minutes (15 mins wait), we decided to leave since there was clearly a lot of tables and didn't want our business. Heading now to Bag O Crab. This place lost my business for good.
