   It’s a good brunch but a bit pricey. Food portions not much but a great experience.

   The food is really the star ✨ everything is delicious that I have tried. Last night I had the whole branzino which had lovely crispy skin. It came with piles of delicious herbs on top and more herbs on the side with lettuce wraps and pickles veggies and onions. We also had the Brussels and the seafood hotpot. The hotpot was a little spicy but I literally powered through because it was so good. The mango and sticky rice is always a must at the end. I have had a LOT of different mango with sticky rice dishes and this one is the best. It has a salty peanut mix on top which I would have never thought would be good on it but it really enhances the whole thing! They are very careful about allergies but I would not recommend to come here if you are allergic to peanuts since it is in everything. They have specialty drinks and we had a cocktail and the house sake which was delicious. Highly recommend for a date. It is really loud so beware if you are trying to go some place to have a conversation. Definitely will be back soon!

   Well, our table loved every single dish that came out! And all the desserts as we ordered one of each! This place was the perfect setting for our birthday celebration. Will definitely be back in the future and sad to live so far.

   We had reservations for six people and we were seated as soon as we arrived. Our waiter was prompt and efficient with everything we ordered. The calamari and the Vietnamese salad was good. We also ordered the hot pot, the steak and the pork which was delicious. We had shrimp fried rice and garlic noodles with fish that was exceptional! Highly recommend this hidden gem!

    The food was good but very unpleasant service. Hair was found in Beef Tongue Fried Rice, told the server and they took away the food and my plate. Did not propose any compensation and only asked if we wanted another plate of the dish or to have it taken off the bill. I asked for another plate and for the dish to be taken off the bill as it’s the restaurant's sanitation issue, and the server said they’d ask. Never came back to our table despite passing by multiple times, and neglected us until the manager saw us confused and came asking if we needed help. I also even had to ask for my plate and utensils to be back, they were taken away with the dish and new ones were never given until we had to ask. We understand it’s a busy time and hair situations could happen from time to time, but this already raises a concern for sanitation, and neglecting customers in the middle of working out an issue was egregious.
