Great fusion menu, papaya salad, calamari, ribeye, veggie curry and udon noodles all were very well done

Overall a good dining experience. Very friendly service, very modern and clean design with ample space. We opted to just order different dishes vs the tasting menu. Overall the food was good. Nice taste and nothing was bad…but nothing was amazing. Signature chicken wings were a bit dry, the curry was a little bland, etc. it’s a great place to bring a date, entertain out of town guests or bring people you want to impress. But if I want more “authentic” Vietnamese food I would go to Argyle…which still has its shortcoming vs eating in Vietnam but it’s much closer.

I mean...I guess I could see why people Ike it, but it's not as good as they say. My group all shared the grand tasting menu. it was neither Vietnamese nor Japanese... just some elements from either. Only 2 of of the 7 dishes I liked. For a total of $250 for 3 people, that's pretty disappointing. The matcha mousse is good though!

We came here two nights in a row because we're such huge fans! The menu is seasonal (some dishes remain always) and we pretty much worked our way through the entire Spring 2022 menu. The Bun Cha broth is incredible and they work magic with those black peppercorns in the meatballs, giving them a nice crunch without being overwhelming. The marinated ribeye and eggplant dishes were both impressively tender and very enjoyable. Generally, the flavor combos were next level on almost every dish and their sauces shined. Whatever that susce with the eggplant dish was, I'd freaking drink it! The yellow curry and 16 oz. ribeye were both memorable dishes I could just keep on eating. If I had to nitpick anything, the grilled octopus and morning glory (greens) were just okay, with subtle flavors that were overshadowed by everything else. To end things off, the sesame in that rice pudding is a game changer! It's such a light dish, even if you're full, you can have a bowl of dessert. HaiSous has top-notch service and food!

Been wanting to try HaiSous for a while now and glad I went. Already planning to go back and their their seafood tower! Have their Vietnamese/Chinese tasting menu and loved everything.Service was awesome and everything was seasoned perfectly.

We had a lovely experience with attentive service and tasty menu options. The eggplant preparation is one of the most delicious ones I had in awhile. We will be back!

Food here was amazing! We had the chicken wings ( a must try!), the ribeye (came with this seasoned salt and lime mix on the side), the sautéed eggplant, and the Vietnamese curry. All of them were excellent! Even though the restaurant was full, we were served relatively quickly. The servers were attentive and gave great recommendations. I would highly recommend eating here.

Out of control. The menu is geared toward the prix fix.

Don’t bother. Out of control.

No doubt about it, the food is excellent. Beautiful, creative dishes and a great wine list. Have been a patron since opening.
