Excellent food: tasty and large portions. Very busy (full) on a Saturday around 7. Service was friendly but we didn't realise you could order online from your table and there was a button for calling the server.

We've stopped by again since going for this reservation. Pricing looks a bit higher from just the menu alone, but when you arrive and see the food quality, variety and volume it's quick to see the value matches. Great food, friendly service and we'll be making this a regular place to stop!

Very friendly staff, helping with dish selection. Food was excellent. My wife and I's forty anniversary; and the restaurant acknowledged our celebration by suddenly turning up the music of bruno mars/lady gaga, dimmed the restaurant's light, and presented us with a little cake accompanied by everybody's applause. Their staff certainly went the extra step for us. will go back again.

We tried the squid cake, the crab spring roll , the crab fried rice and the crab noodle soup on NYE, 2024, the squid cake is very good, the crab spring roll is so so, the crab fried rice is OK but the portion is very small, the crab noodle soup is not that good, not much ingredients and the noodle they used is very broad kind, but the soup is tasty, I think the fame of this restaurant is too big and famous but the money for the actual food is not proportional. We will not go there again, just want to give it a try, as too expensive when compare to other Vietnamese Restaurants.
