Such a fucking adorable little spot!!!!…read more We had a reservation for 5:45 on a Saturday and were seated immediately. We actually got the most precious little corner booth/bench situation. Our server was incredible. She was SO NICE and helpful and just emanating the best energy. She was so on top of shit too. The menu looks incredible. There are so many options it is like impossible to choose. It is not common, at all, to have the option of plant based dumplings so I jumped on that one. I ordered pan fried. They were AMAZING. They were stuffed with more than the standard cabbage maybe a few carrot strands and a few mushrooms. Even gf who didn't appear to be convinced at first did some damage. I was very torn between my ush (Penang curry) and something with noodles. I ultimately went with the latter. The noodles weren't quite as slippery and slidey as I was expecting but the sauce was so good and the thing was overflowing with vegetables. It was such a ridiculous portion I could barely put a dent in it. GF got pho which felt insane after spending yesterday in a furnace all day at the state fair. It was the most authentic pho I have had since leaving Vietnam. Our cocktails were beautiful, I think they were on fire if I remember correctly.

Really disappointing experience from start to finish. We were told the wait would be about 30…read moreminutes and ended up waiting 90, despite multiple tables waiting to be cleaned for long stretches. The whole seating process seemed incredibly inefficient. We asked if we could at least order appetizers at the bar while we waited and were told no because we were waiting for a table, which was frustrating. Service somehow managed to be both inattentive and overbearing. After we were finally seated, we waited close to 30 minutes while trying to order. Once the food arrived, though, our waiter was suddenly at the table every five minutes asking if everything tasted good (it did not). The menu is enormous, to the point that I genuinely don't understand how a kitchen could execute that many dishes well, especially when so many require different ingredients and preparation. Unfortunately, the food pretty much confirmed that suspicion. The curry was watery and almost completely flavorless. The Pad Thai tasted like ketchup. The duck was poorly cooked. The spring roll with an egg roll inside was tasty, but there wasn't enough filling and it was the only thing we particularly enjoyed. I don't mind waiting for good food, and I don't mind a restaurant being busy. But waiting three times longer than quoted, watching tables sit empty, being unable to order anything while waiting, and then getting mediocre food made this a pretty frustrating experience. I wouldn't come back.

This Special Ham Sandwich, or Banh Mi Thit Nguoi, was such a delicious find!…read moreI ordered the Vietnamese ham banh mi with assorted Vietnamese ham, pâté, house-made mayonnaise, pickled carrots and daikon, cilantro, green onion, cucumber, and jalapeño. Everything came together perfectly, and the food came out fresh. The bread deserves its own shoutout because it was PERFECT. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the perfect vessel for all those flavorful fillings. The staff was also great and made the experience even better. The restaurant itself is such a cute and cozy little spot, making it a great place to grab a delicious meal and relax. Fresh food, amazing bread, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere. I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu!

I got the coconut flavor, and it tasted very watered down and was basically room temperature despite having ice. The boba itself didn't have much flavor either. Overall, everything was just okay, but for the price, I expected much better quality and flavor. Unfortunately, nothing really stood out enough for me to want to come back.

I'm really confused as to why people are raving about this restaurant. Service was fine, and the…read morerestaurant is definitely really cute--it's spacious and there's a nice open bar--but the food was a major disappointment. We ordered four dishes: the chicken satay and the sakoo yat sai for appetizers, and the mok pa and the praram long song for entrees. The satay was okay--four huge skewers of chicken drenched in a sweet sauce. The sauce was too sweet for my taste. The sakoo was mostly tapioca, wasn't able to taste the filling much. The mok pa had a strange bitter flavor, and the praram long song was basically a fried chicken thigh and sautéed vegetables. All the dishes were relatively devoid of flavor and every dish had some sort of peanut sauce to accompany it (probably to compensate for that lack of flavor). Portion sizes were decent for the price. The check ended up coming out to around $50/person without drinks. Overall, I got the impression that this is the type of restaurant that you go to for the ambience and not the food. I'd like to give this place another shot because the food is really visually appealing, but I think you can easily find better Thai food at a significantly lower price point.

The broth was…read moredelicious, but it felt like it was missing something...I also wish that the dish came with more veggies / meat. It felt like most of the dish was just the noodles, and it was not balanced (ended up not finishing the noodles). Service is very straightforward.

We came in at a pretty empty time (near 8pm), so service was not packed. It is a standard restaurant with standard seating options. Standard vibes only.
