The steak and lamb are the best in this restaurant!

I used to love this place when they first opened. We were regulars here for their amazing tomahawk and cocktails. Unfortunately, both of which they don’t serve anymore. On top of that, the Friday evening that we visited, they ran out of almost of everything on the menu; no mango salad, no shrimps, no tap beer, no wine, no cocktails, and on top of that, they didn’t allow for substitution - as we requested if they can pre-slice the 24oz ribeye for us since they don’t have tomahawk or any other type of meats.Besides the reduced or lack thereof menu, they only gave a set of spoon, chopstick, and napkins per individual; which is difficult to use when you’re eating a steak dinner. Instead of a steak knife, it was a lousy butter knife. This place went from fine dining to subpar Pho restaurant.We should’ve left when we notice the change in menu. Won’t be coming back here. Also, since when is gratitude automatically added for a party of four?! Shouldn’t it be six or more?Parking: Plenty of parking in this plaza

Good place to have Vietnamese food. Came here with families, everyone had a great time here.I had bun Bo hue, love it! Portion size is good, too much meat that takes us a while to finish the food though.We also made two orders of the chicken wings, kids love it cus the sauce is sweet and a little bit sour.I would definitely come back if I'm in this area.

The demeanor of the attendants at this establishment was rather unaccommodating, despite our notification that our canine companion was a trained service animal.Their refusal to grant us entry left me in a state of disbelief, as I was taken aback by the inadequate level of service and the injustice exhibited towards individuals with disabilities.

Came during lunch and was pleasantly surprised how good the Bun Bo Hue was! Asked for mild so the chili sauce came on the side, and it provided just the right amount of heat and had good lemongrass flavor. Broth itself was still flavorful as well and had a nice savoriness. Veggies were fresh and noodles were cooked perfectly.Was worried the 1lb short rib would be tough and chewy, but it was also cooked perfectly. It's certified USDA Prime, so the quality was really good, which you can definitely taste. Plenty of meat, and all of it was fall-off-the-bone tender!Probably my new favorite spot for BBH now. Hopefully they reopen!

The unagi clay pot is really good but I would not recommend the duck breast. It is too salty with the sauce on it. Overall the food is good but the service needs to be improved. I asked the high chair but seems like the waiter forgot it.

Saturday lunch. Had the Bo Kho/beef stew which was very solid, good beef and very well portioned, though a little on the sour side. Excellent baguette. Came with a friend who ordered the rib bun bo hue but indicated he wished the rib was braised a bit longer, though otherwise good. Would definitely be up for a return visit.

We went here last Sunday for dinner with our friends. This is a beautiful and affordable Vietnamese/ French cuisine. We ordered : House Made Bread with Pate . Bread was warm and Pate tasty and yummy 4* Charred octopus was tender and delicious 4* Duck two way 4* Unagi hot pot 4* Frog hot pot 4* Tamarind Prawns 3.5* tamarind sauce was good, but I didn't like the Prawn shell, the chef needed cut the shell in a middle for peeled off easily . Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Great service and nice ambiance.

This review might be considered as preliminary given that I only ordered appetizers so I can't truly weigh in on their main courses. First and foremost, I've seen quite a few videos and posts about this place and thought I should check it out myself. Everything I ordered was disappointing. It's not that it was inedible, it just didn't suit my palate. I think it just tasted too sweet. Secondly, the restaurant itself is pretty spacious and the service was up to par. I was seated right away and they took my order in a timely manner. But aside from that, I don't think I'll return for awhile. I'll maybe reconsider to try their main course and will give an updated review.
Showed up on the dot at opening and was seated quickly. Everything ordered was super delicious. Will definitely be back to try out the other items on the menu.

Went here for my mom's birthday dinner. My parents loved the ambience and food. We ordered bread and butter, 2 42oz tomahawk, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, prawns, unagi clay pot, and truffle wings. The tomahawk takes about 30+ minutes so definitely order some appetizers while you wait. 100% worth the wait. My sister and I shared a med-rare tomahawk. The butter, black salt, and sauce were exceptionally delicious. Our tomahawk was delicious as well as the mac n cheese. The bread was baked fresh and was super fluffy--a delicious snack while we waited for the tomahawk. The truffle wings were delicious too. The breading was thick and crunchy with infused flavors from parmesan and truffle oil. I didn't eat the prawns or unagi but my parents said it tasted good. Definitely worth stopping by and dinning in.

We love it here, considering this my neighborhood restaurant of choice. The food is good and drinks are strong. We like the steaks, it has a nice crispy chard taste. They do have a few Vietnamese dishes as well, considering the location is in Vietnam Town. Save your stomach for the dessert, I love the presentation of the dry ice smoke like affect. I'm always at wow each time I ordered it. Recommend to make reservations, it can get packed as well.

We were here to celebrate my daughter's birthday. We love how the chef decorating the dish! The foods were elevated to another level! The foods were delicious! We ordered Bun Bo Hue, BBQ Ribs, Fries and Steak! We love all! We were surprised that they also have the complimentary birthday dessert for our daughter too! That's not many Vietnamese Restaurants do! Our table server today was Adam! He is so friendly and kind even he was ao busy at all time but always keep a smile on his face! Definitely will come back for trying another dishes!

Message to management: Please stop being cheap and hire more servers. I was there on Friday night and there were more than 25 tables full (approximately over 60 people) and there are only 2 servers!! Like for real??? I really feel bad for them. How does that help with customer service? I saw customers waving hands here and there. The servers ran around sweating. No body win in this case. I understand there is a labor shortage, but common, this is unacceptable for an upscale restaurant. I would not have a date night here knowing how bad customer service is. Food is good, but the bad CS completely killed my mood. Will be back for other dishes and see if service will improve. I don't want to hurt any business, but this is a fixable management issue and brutal environment for the workers.
