The atmosphere is AMAZING. Very chill vibe and the owner is so friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was very attentive and the food came quick. Drinks were delicious, I had the dragonballz cocktail and it was tasty and strong. I also had the ribeye pho and the taste was so good! You can tell they cook their broth for so long because it’s incredibly flavorful. 10/10 would recommend again and again. Y’all definitely have to check this place out.

The food is INCREDIBLE and the owner, Maria, is so kind! The pho has such deep flavor and the apps are great. The space also has really sweet decor. Metal, our server was great too. I tried the garlic wings, ginger wings, shrimp pho, egg rolls, and squid ink fried rice. Check out these pics!

Delicious food, fantastic service and a beautiful atmosphere. My partner ordered the Special Pho, I had the Chicken Curry (which I expected to be more of a sauce rather than a soup, but was still quite delicious!) we shared the cheese rangoons, Garlic Chicken and the “guilt free” Chiffon cake and seasonal creme brulee. Absolutely recommend!

This is a beautiful , chic restaurant with delicious Vietnamese food. The banh mi , pho, dumplings, five spice fried chicken wings, and egg rolls are delicious! They also have a wonderful cocktail and mock tail menu ! Wonderful for a casual lunch or date night!

The service was good, and our waiter was very attentive checking in. The vibe of the place was very beautiful with many great features and pieces. Stop in for lunch with a colleague and we both ordered pho (there was no combo of meat, you either choose seafood, beef etc). The pho was generously good portion size for the price. I cannot say for other dishes, but menu selection was decent. Parking on Grand Ave could be tricky, so probably plan that ahead.

We came on a busy day. waited a long time for the food. The service was very friendly and enthusiastic. The only thing is that waiting for the food or if you want to ask anything, you have to wait a long time for the service. The restaurant is very nice. The food is delicious. I am Vietnamese, the food is very suitable for my taste. Will definitely come back. The drinks are also very delicious.

This place is so cute!! I'm a lover of Asian food and super picky about it. This place did not disappoint. The service was amazing and the food is so good. They even have a happy hour. Give them try your taste buds will thank you.

This was my third time here. My husband and I love this spot! Food is great, but a little pricey. Overall, totally worth it. The staff is very welcoming. The place itself is small, so I would book a reservation if you plan on visiting any time after lunch. They currently have a small winter special menu!
