New Management and new menu. Not Filipino. Southern fusion angle is tenuous at best. “Pork Lumpia” was just skinny over fried spring rolls with no meat. “Crispy” Brussels were drowning in a pool of sauce that I was afraid to eat because of the huge fan blowing at me. Drinks were flavorless. Kitchen was slow. Hopefully the new management can bring it together but this weekend was a complete bait and switch.

The food was not as good as we had experienced in the past. I think they may possibly have a new chef.

Location is nice, with good food. Definitely a spin on Vietnamese dishes so if you're looking for true authentic keep that in mind. Enjoyed the drinks served, as well as the food. Know that if you choose to sit outside, there is a club next door that after a certain hour begins playing music which can be bothersome if you're sensitive to noise or hard of hearing, as it could make it difficult to hear your own conversation.

We chose this restaurant because of our subscription to off-line. We got $15 off of $15 or more so we thought that we would give it a try. We got there shortly after church and we were pleasantly surprised to find that we wouldn’t have to find parking. They have an adjacent gravel lot and validate your parking for two hours. The environment was very clean and had nicely decorated and very clean bathrooms despite someone’s previous experience. The main dining room was comfortably air-conditioned and colorful decorated with a beautiful mural And a window of walls looking out onto Fayetteville Street. The adjacent Bar was humid and the outdoor patio was enclosed, covered, and very humid even on a cool day; they definitely needed to raise the awnings if that’s possible in order for it to be an enjoyable space in the summertime. There was one official waiter in the dining room. He was also serving as host. Diners had to wait for him to come from the back in order to be seated, and some people waited several minutes for that to happen. However, he was friendly and helpful and another employee kept our water glasses full and chatted pleasantly. The waiter/host was very busy. He needed some help. The waiter explained that three things on the very limited menu are not available because they were redoing their menu. Very disappointing since it was a 1 page limited menu anyway. I got a pork bowl without the pork by substituting mixed vegetables. There were no seafood options, which was strange for a restaurant in this area. My husband got the beef rice bowl and was underwhelmed. It was rice and beef with cucumbers and tomatoes. Neither of us ate the raw sliced plain cucumber or tomatoes on our bowls. The rice wasn’t cold, but it wasn’t hot either nor were my chopped veggies. The plantains were hot and adequately portioned. There was nothing on either plate worth coming back for. I could have a better rice plate at Alpaca. So disappointing.

We had a party of 7 for my mom’s birthday. Service was attentive. Because we are a large party. I expected the food to take some time, the drinks they have there were lovely. my Dad is vegan so he loved the vegan options. My husband enjoyed the chicken adobo and my daughter ate the vinegar wings up.
