    The menu on this site is out of date. The food was good, but there were fewer options that are shown on Open Table

    1 server so service was slow, felt bad for the guy working. Some people got seated and walked out because it was slow on a very busy afternoon with a show at Key Arena we were attending. Overpriced Pho in a BAR setting. Not all the food was on the menu that we read about in other reviews. Definitely not coming back...sorry...

    The food was delicious but they were under staffed and it was hopping before the Stevie Nicks concert. We had a 5:30 reservation and weren't greeted or seated until 6pm. They just wanted us to go away. The employee tried to claim reservations don't come through on their system.

    Excellent service and good, Vietnamese food. Portions are medium size, just right for most appetites. Good value for the price. The only downside was that the restaurant got pretty noisy, because it's all hard surfaces with nothing to absorb the sound.

    Service was incredibly slow, drinks and food were incredibly mediocre, and the volume was incredibly loud.

    We had a great dinner at Red Papaya and Ale House. They have an excellent beer selection that changes frequently. Wonderful server who was friendly but now obtrusive. We would definitely go back if we lived in the area.
