This is an interesting place. First off, when I went, we were the only table there. Normally this…read moreis an awful experience, but the place was so big and spread out that our table off to the side actually felt kind of private. And the waiter left us alone except for when we need something-in my mind that is the highest compliment you can give a waiter. I got the combo vermicelli. It was quite good. In fact, every individual ingredient was great. The pork was incredible. The fish sauce seemed good. It had an amazing leafy herb that was not mint but was wonderful. Despite all this I did not feel the dish came together. I really cannot say what was lacking but I am looking forward to eating it again. I cannot say that it was a great experience or amazing food but it was intriguing and I think that anyone who eats a lot of Vietnamese food in Memphis should give it a try. It is definitely worth a that.

Ambiance-- it's beautifully decorated, but the vibes just did not feel calm because of the long lines waiting for their orders to be taken. It definitely depends on the time that you go. Make sure you get there early to avoid the crowds if you're the type that likes to have the restaurant to themselves. They have a nice patio that is covered with extra seating.

You don't have to feel bad about eating there multiple meals as there is something highly nutritious in every area of the menu. Service is always fast, so it is also a great for a quick stop.

Luckily my friend is obsessed with this place so I got to come here today when we hung out!! I was excited to see the menu in full swing with nothing blacked out! There were also a ton of vegetarian options which I am pleased about because now I can recommend this place to my vegetarian friend. I also loved that they had chili oil at the table. My friend and I asked for everything to be spicy and we also doused everything in chilis and chili oil. Today, obviously we had to try a bunch of dumplings! I had gotten the Signature XLB Sampler for the Yelp event and loved everything but I couldn't tell which was which. Today, my friend and I decided to try out the pork soup dumplings (Xiaolonbao) today and they were amazing. There's actually a little note on each table telling you how to eat them. Apparently you poke a hole in them and let some of the soup out. That makes sense, because otherwise it's quite the mouthful. After that we were dunking them in our chili oil but then the waiter also brought us ginger and showed us how to pour soy sauce over it and dip the dumplings in that too. They were delicious and we made short work of them. We also got the pan fried dumpling sampler and got all the meats. Each one had a different color and they used natural food coloring like red cabbage for the purple ones which were chicken, carrots for the orange ones which were beef, and spinach for the green ones (which we didn't get but are for vegetable ones). The normal colored ones are the pork ones. Lastly, we got the wontons in chili sauce appetizer. It was awesome. And of course we added even more chili oil. We also got some chicken skewers spicy and some jiang noodles with pork, both spicy. The chicken was as good as last time which thrills me because usually skewers aren't good in my opinion. The noodles were delish but a little hard to share. It might be better as a single dish but since we were trying a little of everything this time, it was fine. Most of the meat was on the bottom so if you get this make sure to stir it up so you can get a good ratio of pork to noodle. Also pork was the absolute right choice for this as it was just amazing. I also got a mango drink and it was lovely.

The Toasted Yolk gave us a little bit of everything--some hits, some misses, and one bartender who…read moremay have found a new calling. Avocado Toast Let's start with what should be one of the easiest breakfast items on any menu. Avocado toast doesn't need much--fresh avocado, a squeeze of lemon or lime, cracked pepper, sea salt, roasted tomatoes, cilantro, and a little love. Unfortunately, mine arrived with chunky raw onions, a few tomatoes, and not much else. The bright flavors that make avocado toast shine were missing. The sourdough bread, however, was perfectly toasted and had a great texture. Eggs Both dishes were ordered with eggs cooked over hard. Both arrived over easy. That's a simple request that should have been easy to execute. Salmon Benedict Presentation was nice, but the seasoning department apparently took the morning off. Salmon naturally has great flavor, but it still needs something. A squeeze of lemon, a touch of cracked pepper, sea salt, fresh herbs--anything. The salmon was bland, and the hash brown casserole followed the same theme. Breakfast Potatoes We ordered potatoes with grilled onions and received potatoes topped with the same chunky raw onions that appeared on the avocado toast. Not exactly what was expected. Now for the stars of the show... the drinks. The Mimosa was delicious, refreshing, and exactly what brunch should be. The Sidecar deserves special recognition. When the bartender admitted they had to Google how to make it, I became a little nervous. Turns out I had no reason to be. That Sidecar was fantastic and easily the best thing that hit our table all morning. Whoever made it absolutely knocked it out of the park. Final Verdict The Toasted Yolk has potential, but the kitchen needs to become friends with seasoning. The ingredients were there; the flavor was not. A few simple additions--lemon, pepper, salt, herbs, and attention to cooking eggs correctly--would have dramatically improved the experience. Will I return? Yes. The drinks were excellent, the atmosphere was pleasant, and there's enough on the menu to give it another chance. Next visit, I'll be ordering something different and hoping the kitchen brings a little more flavor to the table.
