                          This is a stellar spot for dinner! The food was exceptional-one of the best dinners we’ve had for some time. Try the cha goi (veg), soft shell crab and the lychee dessert. All were excellent!

                          Great food. A bit pricey but it was worth it. Service started out good then it became very slow once we received our main entrees.

                          We visited this restaurant for a birthday celebration, and from the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service throughout our meal. Both the server and manager were attentive, checking in regularly to ensure we were comfortable. As we weren’t familiar with the dishes we ordered, the manager kindly took the time to explain how to enjoy them, which was greatly appreciated. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, and the food was outstanding. The whole fried fish is a must-try, and the ribeye and chili oil wontons were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place for any occasion. Thank you, NUE, for such a memorable and enjoyable experience!

                          We sat at the bar during happy hour for my husband's birthday. We were looking for a relaxed and quiet atmosphere that was a bit elevated, but not pretentious. NUE delivered. Our bartender was excellent. He was appropriately attentive when needed to be, and politely excused himself to let us enjoy our dinner. We enjoyed all the recommendations he made and it was overall an exceptional experience. Drinks were delicious. We will definitely be back and we will recommend our friends try it out!

                          This was the best service I've ever received at a restaurant. I booked my reservation for my wife's birthday, completely forgetting about her allergy restrictions, but when we got there, they had the chef mark a custom menu for us of dishes that can be made to avoid the allergy. Our waiter and the other wait staff was super friendly, had great recommendations, and was very accommodating. On top of this, they gave us a free dessert for my wife's birthday, gave her a signed, handwritten card with a gift card inside, and gave us a free extra small bites plate that was ordered by accident, just because the waiter had seen me enjoying the same dish, which I had ordered myself. They even apologized for a longer-than-average serve time for our main courses and gave us two coupons for a free appetizer or cocktail the next time we came in. Phenomenal service, good food, plenty of options, and wonderful ambience. I'll definitely be returning.

                          Very unassuming from the outside. Magical inside. Mid-century with rich colors and lush texture. Feels like a secret garden. Beautifully created menu, meaning both the food options and the visual appeal of the menu font and icons. Small bite, entree, dessert and cocktails were delicious! Waitress was attentive and offered a perfect balance of service and distance to enjoy food and conversation in between plates. I really liked that when the entrees were presented we were given a quick overview of the ingredient combinations. For the record I had the Tamarind Margarita, small bite “nuggets”, curried risotto entree and yucca cake dessert. Probably a top 5 meal for me ;) I will be back.

                          This is a restaurant that cares and values guest experience/feedback. Think there might have been a few new menu items which we ended up ordering unknowingly, and managers/servers asked our opinion on them which was nice. They took the feedback extremely well. The ambiance of the restaurant is great too. Quaint and vibrant. I love me a limited menu since I see it as the chefs being able to focus more on flavor and quality which they definitely hit the mark. We went for a special occasion and our server recognized that with a lovely card (seriously, the card and the envelope were great quality) with a quick hand written note. Would I go again? Absolutely.
