I haven't back here for a while, new decor and the foods is much better than before believed new management or new chef. If you looking for a family menu with Vietnamese street foods, come here! It is better than Dong Que in terms of foods, quality and prices! I came here for early dinner on Friday, even though it was empty but I like the quietness. They had so many street foods such as varieties of "OC" snail in different sauces. Their portion is good too. read more

My family always comes here whenever we're craving Vietnamese cuisine. The portions are generous, and the dishes are packed with so much flavor. They give you 3 types of sauce on the side if you want to pair it with any of the food. We always get the grilled pork with rice (4.5/5), razor clams with vegetables (5/5), and the grilled beef rolled in lolot leaves (5/5). The last one is a must try! Any of the grilled seafood options, like the oysters, are also very good. They come on a sizzling plate, and the smell is absolutely mouthwatering. Don't sleep on this place, and give it a try! read more

Good food and good service . Service good and friendly . My second times here and service good and friendly

delicious food, good service. I went two times but never made me get disappointed...

Our family came to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday.Good service, delicious food and fair prices. Friendly ambiance.

An overall decent experience, but things could've been better. Our server took our order without writing it down, which resulted in them bringing out a wrong item. I expected something complimentary in return for their mistake, but nothing was offered. Also, I think the quality has gone down from how it was back then. The fish in the Canh Chua was definitely frozen since the texture was tougher than if it were to be fresh. The restaurant was clean and had nice decor, giving it a nice environment to eat/drink. One item I definitely recommend is the Goi Bo Tai Chanh. It was super fresh and flavorful. read more

This is something new , new like new generation fusion style of bar and grill restaurant. Fun, reinvent the old way of preparing food to cater to newer generations and customers. Here is my scoring card for this restaurant: 1) Location: ( 5 Point ) - somewhat Great location for customer to see and find. 2) Decoration : (2 Point) - They still have the original decoration. Clean but not up to date. 3) Price: ( 4 point)- The price is competitive but still a little bit pricey compare to other same stars and type food they serve 4) Quality and Taste : ( 3 point)- The quality is ok, food taste is good and portions are below average . 5) Type of cuisine standard : ( 4 point) - The style of Vietnamese food they serve is pretty close to the way it was prepare in Vietnam . Not bad! But some dishes did have slightly modify to cater the customer's need Overall it's not bad and I thinks it's great to give it a try and let me know what you think. Go foodies Total max is 25 Score 18 Stars = 72% round up to 3 stars read more

We ordered the balut, snails, and veal. The food was okay, nothing to rave about. I do wish the balut was made fresh after we order. I felt like the balut had been sitting there. The veal was not great, maybe it's because the sauce was made different and it didn't cut the anchovy smell. Wish it had more lime flavor to it. The snails were decent, the coconut sauce was pretty tasty but a couple of the snails had sand inside. Would probably check out another spot that does a similar style of Vietnamese street food. read more

Yum I brought my boyfriend over to grab his first Oc (snail) dish ever!! We ordered: - com this nuong: ehh not good at all. Veggies felt old. Meat and all that wasn't good as well.. 2/5 stars - Oc Len Dua: YUMMMM! Coconut milk is added so it's salty and sweet! 5/5 stars - baked scallops: so different yet so good! It's mixed with egg, peanuts, and some random goodies so it's extra good! 4/5 stsrs It definitely did not disappoint! We definitely are coming back soon read more

Food was ok here and service was just a bit slow. I came here on a weeknight with my family and it was a chill vibe. got a lot of the seafood on the hot plates with garlic butter, my favorite had to be the scallops with the fish roe and scallions. The canh chua needed more fish sauce for sure, and the clay pot fish was not one of my faves, I think the bar food is better here than the entrees. read more

The good: My family tried this place for the first time recently after a recommendation we got from some friends that love to eat "nhau" food. I got the seafood hot pot, goi oc rau muong (snail salad) with rice crackers, quail, and snails with herbs and peanuts all for to-go. All of these dishes were really unique and well seasoned (or came with a sticky/thick and tasty fish sauce concoction). The highlight was the broth for the hot pot. It was super flavorful and tasty and reminded me of Vietnamese canh chua dish. It has a sweet and sour taste, similar to Thai hot pot. The seafood hot pot came with shrimp, roe filled fish balls, fish balls, vegetables, clams, fried fish cake and more. The clams were fresh (they were even moving). The shrimp were also fresh. I liked that the snails came with wooden sticks for you to pry the clam out. The bad: The quail didn't have much meat on them so it isn't something I'd order again. The interesting: They gave tons of soup for the hot pot so we had a lot of leftover that we used later on for more hot pot nights at home. We just added water because the flavor condensed. They have a lot of interesting dishes here that you probably cant find elsewhere (snails, clams, and frog legs). read more

We've been going here for a while now and almost always get the chicken banana blossom salad (goi ga bap chuoi), coconut snail, & seafood hotpot. I wonder if they had a recent change of ownership or refresh. Table setup/decor looks different & the service was much better than usual - our waiter said it was their first day but they were all very attentive and kind. Food is still as good too. We will continue to go here when we're craving Vietnamese hot pot read more

Not sure if they changed owner but this recent visit was a disappointment. Sat down and no one bothered to take our order and waited awhile before they finally came and asked if we were ready. There was other people that sat down after us and they got serviced before us. We ordered some of the escargot dishes and the sweet and sour soup and it all tasted ok. Not as good as we remembered. read more

Great Vietnamese street food and authentic Vietnamese food. Very good service and friendly staff. Clean and comfortable dinning environment! Definitely recommend! read more

I ordered take out for me and a couple of friends and swung by fifteen minutes later and they told me wait a few minutes while they packed. They offered me sauce to go with my meal and were friendly and welcoming. The coconut snails were really delicious. Sweet while also having an umami taste and a tender bite. It's fun to suck on the snails just be careful to not choke on the little piece at the entrance of the hole. I recommend getting rice or a baguette to soak up that delicious coconut broth it was cooked it. We also got the grilled ginger oysters and it was paired perfectly with the two fish sauces that provided. Def will be coming back for the snails! read more

My friends and I came on a Friday night and it was pretty crowded, but we got seated right away. We ended up ordering A1 (hot vit lon), A7 (bo nuong la lot), A15 (cua lot chien gion), 03 (so long nuong mo hanh), and 11C (oc mong tay xao sa ot). A1 hot vit lon (2 balut eggs): My friend was the only one who ate this. She didn't comment on anything and ate it all, so I can only assume it tasted how it should be. A7 bo nuong la lot (grilled beef rolled in lolot leaves): The seasoning was nice, but the size of the meat was pretty fat? My friend said the one she eats is usually skinnier and longer, so she prefers that. I agree with her too, but for what it was, it was still good. A15 cua lot chien gion (deep-fried soft shell crabs): My personally fav! Never knew the shell could be so soft that you could just eat it like shrimp. Good seasoning and it wasn't too heavily battered either. 03 so long nuong mo hanh (grilled cockles with onions): Not a fan of hard shelled seafood, but it was pretty good! It does have a very oystery-like taste, which I don't know if it's normal cause again, don't usually eat it. Warning: the dish splatters a lot when it's first out, so BE CAREFUL. 11C oc mong tay xao sa ot (razor clams stir-fried with lemongrass & chili): We all thought it was gonna be shelled for some reason, but it came out unshelled. I was scared to try at first cause it looked funny, but it ended up being one of the tastier dishes! It was the less fishy-tasting of shelled seafood, so that's a huge reason why I liked it. I will say the plating makes it look not appetizing, but don't let the looks deceive you! As for the service, no comment on that since we didn't need anything and there were no issues. Also, when you pay, you pay upfront. read more

I love this restaurant! My favorite dish is the Razor Clams but it's all really good and flavorful. They specialize in snails (this is what ốc means in Vietnamese). The restaurant is comfortable and typically doesn't have a wait, though you might have to wave to get somebody's attention throughout the meal.

Traditional Vietnamese seafood. Reminds me of Viet Nam every time I go. One of the best places in SJ for escargot. Service is very efficient. Pro tip: ask for fresh chopped chillies. My only complaint is I wish they would turn on their TVs - it's such a missed opportunity to not play sports in the restaurant. read more

No AC, doors were open, fly everywhere as we eat especially with snail and those fish sauce attracted flies. Snail was decent but balut not fresh. They were fixing something by the door when we went so it was loud. Drove a detour to SJ instead of driving straight to Vegas from Tahoe because we saw this place and want to stop by. Ended up going around SJ getting other foods because it was bad read more

Food was tasty. We ordered razor clams in tamarind sauce and sea snails in coconut/lemongrass sauce. It also came with a sweet/spicy fish sauce, ginger and red chili dipping sauce. Paired it with fresh-squeezed passion fruit juice and Modelo beer as our drinks. Definitely part of the Vietnamese snacking/appetizer and drinking culture to go out and enjoy this type of food with friends (nhậu). read more

I've been here a few times over the last 6 years and to be honest, it goes down in quality each time I come here. The previous experiences I gave it 5 stars but today was another story. Came in at 4pm on a Friday as they open at 3pm. No one was around because two people eating. That was the first sign something was up. When you have 3x more staff than customers it's not a good sign. We decided to order Togo and bring it home to eat. Ordered the razor calms, was told there's no more. Fine we got the snails instead. Ordered the friend rice and it was decent, has a crunch to it which I like. Then I order the octopus which after I paid they told me there's no more. So I was told the squid is just as good. Total over $60. Got home and opened the squid dish and boy was I disappointed. They used a normal today size container but when you open it it's maybe 1/4 the size of the container as you can see in the picture. They put in maybe 8 pieces of slice calamari. This was a total rip off and let me tell you it was over cooked as if they just recooked the old dish. The edges had color to it but it was dry and chewy. This is the last time I'm coming here. When a restaurant has a whole bunch of items on their menu, normally it won't be good because they don't specialize in anything. This spot had 10.r 10.b. Etc. it was over kill. read more

Took my dad and the family here for Father's Day. Our group enjoyed the following: - oc len sao dua - **** like the sauce but the oc had no meat -oc huong sao me - *** like the oc but the tamarind sauce was overly sweet - softshell crab ***** had to be our fave - chicken feet banana blossom salad - **** sauce was kinda salty but refreshing to eat. - rice plates **** Overall, the food was pricey for what you get. On top of that service was lack thereof and they automatically include the tip $50 and credit card fee $11 to our bill. For these reasons, we'll take our business elsewhere. read more

Dined in for the first time. Had their chicken congee in the past...several times and we really like it. So we decided to check the place out and other items they have to offer. We arrived and were told where to sit. We sat down at 9:06pm and only took a couple mins to decide. There were about 3-4 servers walking past our table serving food and cleaning up other tables. None of the servers made eye contact with us when walking past. Our table went ignored for 18 minutes...until I went to the front counter and mentioned that I was sitting by the fish tanks and would like to place my order. The person at the front counter said okay sorry I'll send someone over. One of the servers who had walked past us several times before without acknowledging us showed up immediately to take our order. There were 2 big parties while we were there plus a couple other tables. I understand that it's a lot to deal with as a server and it might take awhile to get to us but that doesn't excuse not even being acknowledged or the lack of communication. Just a simple "hi I'll be with you in a few minutes" would suffice. We ordered combination fried rice, vermicelli bowl w/ grilled shrimp & pork and chicken congee. The food we had here was really really good. Everything was perfectly seasoned. Flavorful and delicious. The fried rice had a nice touch with the crisp bits of rice in it. The vermicelli bowl had a good ratio of lettuce, cucumber etc in it. The grilled shrimp and pork in the bowl was absolutely delicious. The chicken congee we've had many times and was very good. The only thing would be nice to have white pepper on the side for the congee. I would give the food here a legit 4.5-5 If the food weren't good for this visit it would've been a 1. But because the food was so good. It's a 4. A great gem of a spot, just don't expect the fastest service if it's busy. read more
