The Pho was extremely off the chain !!!!! Highly recommended for anyone looking for the experience .

Do NOT waste your money. The spring rolls were inedible -- we did not even finish them. They were actually hard to eat, like rubber. The meat inside of them tasted like they washed it with dish water. There are better rolls in town, to say the least. Onto the Banh Mi Bites -- horrible. So because we were burning money on this anyway, we ordered one more app. for your wallets information, the fried egg-roll appetizer comes with two, TWO, very small rolls. not kidding, and they're not even great. They were also out of tofu and lo mein. I settled on the Pho, which I'd heard was good, and was underwhelmed by a flavorless broth that even hot sauce couldn't remedy. We will never be eating here again. Save your damn money and go somewhere worth a buck. Recommendations : Masala (better curry, wonderful atmosphere, service is off the CHARTS) Bangkok Thai : the best spring rolls in town, comfortable space to be in, GREAT food!

Wound up swerving into the parking lot of Blu Basil, almost passing it up; trying to find a nice spot for lunch. Vivian was our server and took very good care of my partner and I on our first Valentine's day together. I thoroughly enjoyed my first taste of curry and my partner was amazed by the Vietnamese rice plate, specifically, the meat. Both were lunch specials. The decor in the restaraunt is beautiful! Thank you for the experience! Definitely reccomend!

Place was nice, food and drinks were mediocre. The restaurant was understaffed and I feel as if that fed into the lack of customer rounding that we experienced. Their old fashioneds were poorly made; which is upsetting because the drink itself is not hard to make, and even harder to screw up. The bartender muddled the cherry and an orange slice (not the peel, an actual slice) which made the drink taste like medicine. I ordered a beef rice plate (forgot the name) medium rare and it was cooked medium and very tough. Dinner for two was overpriced for the portions. Overall, I think this place was underwhelming after looking at how highly rated it was.

Ordered via door dash and the food was fresh and filling! The potstickers have a thick but soft dough like shell which was thicker than I’m accustomed to but it was still good…the chicken egg rolls with the beef vermicelli bowl were ok..i wish the vermicelli bowls came with a sauce of its own. Overall worth a try, the lettuce wraps and kimchi Fries are fantastic, I just tried something different this go round.

Overall good experience however I would give second thoughts before returning to this restaurant. We were immediately greeted once entering the restaurant and seated within 10 min. However once being seated, we waited for 20 minutes before my boyfriend returned to the hostess to notify them we still hadn’t been acknowledged. No “I’ll be with you shortly” or “let me get you some water in the meantime. Nothing. After he notified the hostess, it was about another 7-10 minutes before our server appeared. She ended up also being the same server for the 20+ table in front of us. This explained things and we more willing to give her grace after notching this. However, I find this a poor call on the hostess. Why assign a hostess who has a party that large alone to another table. It’s a setup for failure. Nonetheless once we were recognized, her service was great and we had no further issues. We really enjoyed the $3 shot special that night. Food was good, but did have an aftertaste after a couple of bites. We were not sure if this was a result of the shots or what lol, but didn’t let it ruin the meal.

The food was amazing! Service was okay. Advertises vegan options but only saw 2 on the menu, and the server was clueless. Ordered lettuce wraps, and they were tasty.

We absolutely LOVE the atmosphere here! One of our favorite things to do is to come and order multiple appetizers because they are all so delicious!! We have not had anything bad here..... From the rice bowls to the Fred rice to the bulgogi beef nachos, every thing here is top notch. And they give a little treat for birthdays ?

Had shaken shrimp for lunch today. The shrimp were drastically overcooked.I told Bobby our waiter, he chuckled and offered no remedy. This place is descending into the abyss! A real shame!

Excellent service and the food was tasty. The Mongolian bbq is as good as I have ever eaten.

The interior has not been touched up. Scratches on the walls, wobbly chairs, and the menu is tired. Simple things like the house special were out as well. The wait staff barely offered an apology and made no attempt to suggest replacements. I didn't remember the music being at rave deceble levels before. Hope they take a step back and freshen up the place.
