We were looking for some place for dinner and just from the outside we liked that we saw people going in a bit after 5pm. The menu is large and much to read, the 7 course beef caught my eye right away. My friend has never tried it so she agreed. We all is this per person. The waiter told us it was enough for 2 people. From what we can tell, it was for 3 people. We couldn't finish it all. Though I think for three people you would add another beef dish. The service was great, very friendly and the order came out quick. My friend got this honey tea with lychee which was delicious. What we saw coming out of the kitchen later on as more people came in was large platters of the whole fried fish. So our plan is to come back and try that as well as the whole stir-fried lobster but we're going to need more people to help us with that.

Food is definitely 5 stars, table clean, service is fast and friendly staffs. Hot pot taste extremely tasty even after all the vegetable and seafood mixed with it, make me just wonder what ingredient they put in there to keep the flavor last! Price is $$$, expensive. We were there on Sunday night, and about to finish at 9:15 pm, the server already starting to clean up the table and ... sweeping the floor. Because of that, i have to downgrade from 5 to 4 stars, hope they improve it.

Had high hopes for the place, but was equally disappointed. This is not your typical Pho or chicken noodle house. They serve chicken noodle, but they're not known for that. Although most of their dishes are the authentic Vietnamese family style food, the food here had a serious MSG or some type of flavor enhancer overload. The chicken noodle soup was bland, very bland and the soup base taste somewhere between canned chicken broth or powder chicken broth enhancer. The pan fried noodles you get a huge portion but was very savory (or rudely put, salty). The fried fish, that's one of their popular dishes, is a huge portion and you get a lots of vegetables, but again they didn't have to load it with MSG. The lotus leaf rice has a nice aroma but same deal... and the pattern repeats with the rest of their dishes. It unfortunate as I thought their presentation was excellent and the food were fresh but question their over use of MSG.

The review is for overall experience here on a July 4th visit. The food is nothing to write home about. We had the 7 course beef and various other appetizer and stir fry dishes. They are all either sweet or lacking flavor. Food and facilities get one star. I gave the other two stars to the waiter that served our table. The young fella goes by the name Billy. I have never meet a better professional in food service. The young man was polite, respectful and a professional. He asked us for permission to take our order. He asked for permission to lay the dishes on our table. Once all of our food are laid out, he politely wished us a good meal. Every thing was said in our native Vietnamese language. I would take the fam back here for another try on the other dishes on menu just to meet Billy again.
