The Imperial eggrolls and vegetarian summer rolls were delicious. The BÚN GÀ NƯỚNG came with a crisp salad. It was point on for taste. The server was friendly and helpful on describing the dishes.

As much as would like to go into details about this dining experience I can’t. I couldn’t even tell you what I ate as this food was absolutely amazing, beyond anything I’ve experienced. Yes, it’s surly expensive, but worth every penny.
