This is the 3rd time I’ve been here. The crab fried rice is flavourful and can be made milk/dairy-free (which is fantastic for me!). The portion size of the fried rice is enough for 2 meals (I hope the portion always stays as big). The beef carpaccio is delicious with plenty of fresh basil. Great attentive and friendly service as well.

The food was fantastic. We ordered the Family style, which the best way to go as you get some of their most popular dishes. We would order everything again! Ivy, our server, was wonderful. She was extremely attentive, knowledgeable and engaging. Thank you for a memorable meal

I enjoy Vietnamese food, but their Wagyu pho soup base is quite plain. While the ingredients are fresh, it lacks that special something. On the bright side, their service is good.

Had the “family style” sharing meal for 4 people, at $50 pp it felt like amazing value. Every dish was enjoyable, our servers were super helpful, and the outside enclosed patio was nice and quiet versus eating inside. Want to come back and try the lunch menu!

We had been wanting to dine here for a long time because we’d heard such great things. And all those great things are absolutely true! We had a late lunch and it was still packed, so be sure to make a reservation. The staff are friendly and clearly happy to be there. The food was INCREDIBLE! Delicious, light but very filling, beautiful to look at and sheer pleasure to eat. The pho broth was deeply flavourful. The beef carpaccio was a revelation - very good quality meat with an array of fresh herbs, peanuts and crispy onions. The lemongrass tofu with vermicelli and spring roll was stellar. I can’t wait to eat here again!
