Came with low expectations adjusted for the apparent clientele, but pleasantly surprised. Grilled Cheese brilliant, Tapioca dumplings refreshing, Pork Ribs a treat. Portion def on the small side

AmateurConcierge

Def use the prix fixe if it’s ur first time. 45/pp for 3 dumpling sampler, choice of app and entree. Good cocktails . Solid value

Heidi

If it’s any indication as to the target audience of this place, they warn everyone trying to order the shrimp that the shrimp comes with the head and tail and ask if we are sure we want it.

Sam Gil

Loved this place. $45 tasting menu , if 4 of you then can try every option. Short rib grilled cheese pho is genius. Mochi dumplings , banana leaf speciality and sweet potato prawn fritter all incredible

F. Bastard

Comparable to Hanoi House and Madame Vo, but better than both. Enjoyed Shaking Beef , Banh Beo steamed rice bowls and Dragon Rice Plate. Warm, genuine service. Modern, understated design. A winner.

Polina Weitz

Lovely low-key spot! It's a modern take on Vietnamese food . The Pho Grilled cheese sandwich with the Pho shot is a must. Also great papaya salad . The cocktails were superb and service was great.

Standouts were Banh It Ram (Crispy Mochi Dumplings ) andBanh Khot (Turmeric Griddle Cakes ) with mushroom and the tapioca coconut dessert . Also good was green papaya salad , ribs . Much more to try!

Great spot. The highlights were the Sweet Potato Fritters and the Mi Vit Tiem (Duck Noodles ).

Jeremiah Baumann

The papaya salad , the rice cake things, the turmeric rice things...ok everything was amazing

Grilled cheese that you dip in pho

Food took 1.5 hours to be served. When it arrived the portion sizes were underwhelming. The reason why they tell you it’s family style sharing is because you cannot get full on one entree.

Tor Linnerud

Try the grilled cheese !

Abhishek Kona

Nothing stands out in food. The mochi dumplings are good. Dont order the chicken salad . Service is bad missed our drinks and a dish. Lame place drinks are decent though
