Our friends took us here for dinner. Pretty popular place as people lined up before opening to get in asap, and people were still waiting in line for tables to open. They have items that I haven't seen at other Vietnamese restaurants. I had the lemongrass ribs, that was delicious. My wife and her friend shared the Sea Lovers platter and enjoyed it. If you're in the area and craving Vietnamese cuisine, this is a definte place to go.Parking: There is street and garage parking that depending on the day and time is paid or free.

Best bun rieu I've ever had, though richer than the traditional style it suited my palate.The Banh Canh is above average. The BBH has good quality meat and a nice lemongrass profile to the broth but is bland for my taste.For the Bun Cha, the grilled pork was very tender and flavorful while the cha itself was solid but not exceptional.

Such delicious bun rieu with soft shell crab but the pho has so much flavors it doesn’t make sense. I think they add too much Chinese 5 spice, and also msg bc I had a headache and drank ton of water afterwards. Bone marrow pho is a good deal though but they give so little meat/noodles

The food is excellent! This place is expensive but I think it's perfect for a special occasion for anyone who loves Pho. They have pho dishes with lobster and big hunks of meat, or more normally priced phos as well. All are delicious and well worth a try. The cocktails are great too!

Best Vietnamese restaurant in San Mateo. Everything was excellent. It's a little pricey, but I believe you get a good portion and quality ingredients. Service was excellent from the reception to the server. I recommend trying it out at least once.
Food is authentic, but its pricy. Environment is good, but a little crowded.

It was a busy place, so there is some waiting but I’ve waited for almost 2 hours just to get a table. The service was alright. We had a large group of people and the first half gets to be seated while the second half has to wait for another 30-45 minutes. But we were seated separately. The menu is online and we felt kinda rushed in to order, the food took about 10-15 mins. I think the food is alright, depending what you get. I got bo luc lac, it was different than most bo luc lac that I usually order because this got garlic noodles, which was delicious although it gets salty. The bo luc lac was soft and chewy but very oily. I do think it is kind of overrated but it depends on people’s taste and preferences.
