Started off with the octopus and the spring rolls. Both were delicious. The octopus was probably the best that I’ve ever had. It was cooked perfectly. Then we had the millionaire rice, the short rib experience, and the fried chicken all were absolutely scrumptious that topped off by a wonderful little bread pudding. The only downside of the evening was they did not have any Vietnamese coffee. Service was excellent as always, and the staff took care of us like family. For those of you have who have never been here before, please come you do not know what you are missing until you have experienced it. Make your reservations in advance to experience this neighborhood gem!
