Warm, friendly staff, impeccable service, delicious food. My son had poached shrimp rolls with peanut hoisin sauce and his favorite rice noodle pho, Bo Luc Lac, with filet mignon. Both were light and tasty. I had the fresh light roti with a curry sauce and sesame crusted baby back chili ribs. Amazing!
I had the garlic noodles. Spring rolls and Ban mi appetizers. We were at the emerald cup and looking for late night food. Found this place and it didnt disappoint. Fresh. Creative. Awesome cocktails and food. All the friends were impressed. Staff is great too.
Love the veggie Bao here and the vegan friendly Pho. Really looking forward to taking my siblings here, theyre Viet. The photos only wall are a nice touch. They have a cozy counter for solo diners and a craft cocktail menu.
The garlic shrimp noodles were honestly one of the best fried noodle dishes Ive ever had. Not too salty or oily. Had perfect chewiness and mouthfeel, just the right amount of garlic. The shrimp was grilled and retained moisture, but crispy and slightly charred on the outside. The wicked Bennie was also great!
