I really enjoyed the food here. I was craving some Vietnamese egg rolls and they were exactly what I hoped for. Came with lettuce but they didn’t have sweet and sour sauce but the traditional fish sauce which is sweet and tangy but I also got the shaken filet mignon which was so tender and juicy but I wish had a little more seasoning. Still really good but the only other thing Is the menu said it came with white rice but I got something more like a Spanish rice not sure what exactly but it was still good. Definitely hit the spot.
My family have been eating here for years. The quality has remained constant and the delicious. Most of the time we go for the catfish but every now and then we change it up.The decor hasn't changed as far as I can remember, that being fairly dark with spotlights on the tables, overall burgundy color scheme, and generally more intimate than other places. It's great for dates and family meals.It's no real wonder why this place has existed for so long, and will continue to persist as a cornerstone for Vietnamese-French cuisine.
Service and food were both terrible. The waiters will not take your order unless you personally walk to them, and they will not check on you for water refills, takeout boxes, or when you want to settle the bill before leaving. The soft shell crab was burnt because it had already been deep fried but was served on a sizzling pan for presentation. The rest of the food was basic, bland, and overpriced.
Vietnamese French restaurant that has been open since 1988 and with good reason too. It's one of the few Vietnamese restaurants with comfortable outdoor dining still established. The crispy baked catfish is massive even for the small size and easily fed our table of four. It was tender and flavorful and not too bony. The filet mignon is served on a sizzling hot plate and was also quite a tender cut. Also the egg rolls delicious. The fish sauce is not too watered down. My least favorite dish was the curry frog legs. I think it's maybe because I don't really like the idea of frog legs that much but our table ordered it and I tried it. If you can't get over the idea of frog legs, don't order lol
Delicious grilled cat fish. Cozy restaurant settings. Customer service is fast. However, Sanitation is average.
Pretty solid Vietnamese food. My favorites was the beef salad appetizer. It was very refreshing.
Very sad, Crispy catfish has NO flavor and mushy (not fresh). The waiter who took our order, she suggested the combo. We came to try the fish and some other dishes, but she suggested the combo which included the lemon beef (Too soft and too much oil), fish (not fresh) , fried rice (Worse than banh mi Cali), hot pot (old seafood shrimp, calamari, clams (dead and not fresh) All like frozen food. The rest of the staffs were pleasant and seemed to work hard. We left there disappointed because we went there for the crispy fish and too bad it wasn’t good. Probably our 1st and last time there.
Great place been here since 1988 and REAL Vietnamese food, fresh and tasty ?
Unfortunately Crispy catfish has NO flavor and mushy. The waiter who took our order, (the older guy compares to the rest of the staff ) was rude and pushy. He tried to upsale us for 2 orders of house combo but when we refused he began to give us attitudes. Supposedly he was “just suggesting “ but we knew better not to order a whole bunches of food and can’t finish them. It was so annoying that he kept on telling us what to order even though we kindly declined. The rest of the staffs were pleasant and seemed to work very hard. The other dishes that came with the combo special were good. We left there disappointed because we went there for the crispy fish and too bad it wasn’t good and the old guy was rude. (He probably the manager/or owner there but we don’t really give a damn since there are so many good restaurants in the area to eat)
I just reviewed on my takeout order of a big baked catfish. The most important point why it got 1 star is the fish not fresh. the meat breakdown in pieces showing it was not a fresh fish. We requested tangerine sauce, but we didn't get it. Not alot of pickle carrots and daikons and cucumber. Small portion of peanuts,
