                    The food was amazing. The experience and ambience was exactly how I imagine it will be with my friends. I wish they were a little attentive to my celebrations for my birthday. Service was good and I understand it is busy. I enjoy the grilled oysters, chicken wings, cocktails, curry, octopus and eggplant salad. Thank you for making a great experience.

                    Love their Happy Hour upon which my rating is based upon. Excellent service at the bar, and their $10 dishes are great - we like the papaya salad, chopped clam dish, octopus dish and the fried rice with crab. Of note Parking is tricky in the area. Can or ride share are good alternatives.

                    Came in before a show at Thalia Hall for the first time in several years, and am angry with myself that I haven't been coming in before every show at Thalia Hall for the past several years. From now on, I won't be making that mistake.

                    Tasting menu was generous portions and delicious. It would have been helpful if the servers provided info about the dishes as they were brought to the table.

                    First off, the food is very good and the restaurant has Michelin awards to prove it. The room is tastefully decorated, but too noisy. The service is fine. Here’s my problem, the food is Vietnam-ish., and I was looking forward to Vietnamese - not the same. There is one other issue - portion sizes are erratic - an appetizer was as large as a ‘main.’ Folks on one side of us ordered the tasting menu, and they said it was way too much , but very good. Folks on the other side advised to go with a La carte items, which is what we did.
