Small little restaurant that took over the Phó place. Ample parking as it's shared with a bunch of other restaurants and open. It is a smaller restaurant that's can fit large parties and small so pretty flexible! The decors is casual and chill, but the menu gives off a classy vibe.
TLDR: The food, overall, I'd say that the food is pretty good with its depths of flavors and the service is great...I want to give it a 3.5 but I'll push it to 4
The drawbacks is that the meats were a little more tough than I'd like, still tender that it's eatable but some of it as dry and tough.
Also, the food DOES NOT look like the pictures on gen menu: I had gotten the ribeye and it was not a full ribeye beautifully sliced and meaty like the picture but more circular cuts? So let's talk more about the
Khao Soi ribeye: 3/5 I wasn't a fan of the cut of meat, was tough and didn't taste like ribeye and have that tender yet fatty cut. The flavor was good and enjoyed it but, the meat was lacking. Overall flavor is 4 (could use more spice a little weak for two peppers on the menu) but the cut of the meat is like 3
Pad Thai: 3/5 it was just meh, it was fine, the portion was smaller than what I'm used too. But the texture of the noodles were off and the flavor was different and I couldn't put my finger on it. Wouldn't order again.
Chicken stay skewers: 4/5 pretty great! Meat was tender and good flavor, wish there was more in the dipping sauce but it was good! Would order again!
Beef Boat Noodle: 4/5 This was a highlight, pretty great flavor of the broth (it had a Taiwanese beef noodle soup vibes) the meat was tender and the noodles were good. Honestly a pretty solid dish!
Panang Curry with pork: 3/5 the flavor was there but the meat was too tough and wasn't really a fan, similar vibes to the ribeye dish, maybe I'd try with a different meat?
Overall, there was some solid wins but also some misses. Wish the meats were better, if you're going to charge the premium of ribeye, I'm expecting that cut. I might go back but with some other good Thai places near by I feel like they might have to step up their game. read more
