Eh was not that good. Drinks are good but the food was not worth $500. Was expecting it to be way better. The tuna tartar and chicken dumplings were gas though. Main course not so good. Great place for drinks and appetizers.

Unfortunately the service on Mother’s Day was not good. The food was good but the service was lacking and the restaurant was not that busy. We waited for drinks and to place orders/ get the check way too long. The coffee we ordered with dessert came after desert. Not acceptable for the price. However i must say food was on point.

Very bad service. It was Mother’s Day and we took my in law to celebrate to the best place in Houston. First of all, receptionist lied to us telling us they did not have an indoor table for 3 hours. She took took us to the corner table with most sunshine and heat outside. We asked twice to be placed inside. She reaffirmed, we are fully taken for the next three hours, after 4 pm. After dealing with Texas heat at 97F at 5:30 pm, I went inside and to my surprise,indoor seating was empty!!!! To witness the error, I took a picture of an empty row inside. Also, a picture of our table and all tables outside EMPY!!! Very poor intuition of the rude waitress. She clearly saw my my in law almost passing out. Food was delicious, but at 97F on a warm day in Texas, it can be dangerous for anyone, specially if you are 70, to be outside in full sunshine. Thankfully, the manager came to us and asked whether all was ok. Thinking it we were going to say yes, we said no. They took inside immediately. He was the best, but I wish the rude waitress would have offered that solution at 4:30 pm. When it was clear they were going to be almost empty from 4 pm to 7 pm on a very sunny Sunday day in Houston.

I love the ambiance here. The dining room has a relaxed but elevated feel with a lot of natural light and plants, etc. We were here on Mother's Day and perhaps the kitchen was off because they were so busy, but none of the 5 of us were that impressed with the food. My daughter got the fried rice and it was so bland she requested a couple of sauces to make i more flavorful. I had the Green Curry Shrimp. The curry sauce was good, but the dish only contained a few sugar snap peas and bamboo shoots. So it was basically sauce and shrimp. The Vietnamese coffee is wonderful!
