Great service, great pricing, good food.
I will have to say though as a disclaimer, it is giving off very heavy Vietnamese coffee shop vibes with the dresses on waitresses and the heavily skewed presence of dozens of asian uncles who are smoking(Kind of a pain since the patio is so close to the main doors that the smell gets in).
While I'm personally unsure if that's intended or not, I am not reviewing for or against that.
Prices are cheaper than most restaurant-styles in the Bay Area, with a majority of the items being under $20($14-18 range).
Food is fairly authentic in flavor profiles, some mishaps here and there but nothing that I'd deduct for.
Bo Ne/Sizzling Beef - 4/5 Came with two pretty big pieces which as everyone knows is nice as many places try to cheap out on this and give you like a couple small ones. Bread/baguette was the only minus here as the ends were either stale or overdone considering they were as hard as rock.
Chicken Curry - Authentic tastes as mentioned, great nostalgic home cooking taste. As I only had a few bites, not going to give points about this.
Default "Water" is some kind of brighter yellow/green tea, potentially chrysanthemum which was nice as a refreshing change of pace.
Service was great, waitress filled our water pretty much spot on as we finished it and checked in with us.
All in all, great spot to stop by for a cheap lunch with the only problem being location/small parking lot. read more
