Really good food. Great friendly service.
We moved into the area little over a year ago. I have been searching for a Fusion Asian restaurant. I finally found it. Food (papaya salad with shrimp) was amazing. Wonderful service and great atmosphere.
Dinner at this pleasant restaurant with wonderful outdoor seating was perplexing. I came away somewhat dissatisfied. My party of 3 started with spring rolls, their signature dishes and they were excellent. From then on it was downhill. The food was nicely presented but very bland to tasteless. Fried chicken, Vietnamese crepe filled with pork and shrimp, a bean sprout and tofu salad and a Pho. I guess the fusion part was there weren't any Vietnamese chefs in the kitchen. The service was sketchy as they were busy but under staffed, although it was polite and attentive when around. The bill was reasonable but the bottom line is if a Vietnamese were to eat here, they wouldn't recognize the flavors as authentic. It's a pity because it had 'great' in the making but just didn't fulfil.
All the appetizers were really good. Everyone said that what they ordered tasted good. Serving was a lot and so others took home their left overs.
A friend took us to this place for a late dinner. We ordered a lot of different dishes and we enjoyed everything (even the leftovers). The shrimp spring roll was so good as were the skinny green beans. Loved the fried rice and fried chicken.
First the positives: The patio is very pleasant, service is attentive friendly and efficient, and the by-the-glass wine pours are generous.Now the bad news. Starting with a 1/2 hour wait to be seated for a 7PM reservation on a Tuesday night. Either someone’s not doing their job, or they’re sending a message that you should consider it a privilege to have a table here. I’m not a fan of either one.Then both dishes we ordered were more than disappointing.Tiger Shrimp and Green Papaya Salad: Green papaya salad is a standard in vietnamese and thai food. The papaya has to be shaved and marinated to achieve the right degree of softness while keeping its crunch. Here thick slabs of hard to consume green papaya were overwhelmed by large quantities of pungent red onion which took over the entire dish.Vermicelli with grilled lemongrass duroc pork: Dry pork without the slightest hint of lemongrass (just sugar). Brittle and mealy vermicelli, clearly not freshly made.Bottom line: Any hole-in-the-wall vietnamese restaurant will do much better for a fraction of the price.

They have a great outdoor dining area and a fun vibe. The food was served hot and good sized portions but it was not up to expectations as we felt it was under seasoned and lacking flavour. We ordered the lemon grass meatball pho, mango spring roll, egg roll and chicken curry.
Great service but food was unfortunately tasteless. I had pho and the broth was like water. Had pad Thai also and there was too much garlic. Great presentation and the restaurant is very crowded. But wished the food was better.
Definitely make a reservation for this deservedly Thai /Vietnamese restaurant. Everything we tasted was superb. Try the cold lobster roll appetizers & crispy pepper shrimp wontons. Classic fishes like pad Thai and pork fried rice are excellent. The patio was packed by 6:30 on a weekday. Total pleasure.
