Terrible cocktails and very disappointing service. We ordered four cocktails, and none of them looked like the photos or matched the descriptions. They tasted like cheap alcohol mixed with cheap juice. One cocktail was even described as sour but turned out to be extremely sweet. When we complained, the staff refused to offer a refund or even a 50% discount and insisted that we pay almost the full bill, despite our dissatisfaction. Awful cocktails, terrible customer service, and definitely not worth the money. Would not recommend.

This was the first place we tried after leaving our hotel when we landed in Vietnam. The staff are awesome and super friendly and the mango beers were super refreshing. We went back multiple times during our stay. Love from NZ🇳🇿🇻🇳
The food is mediocre at best. Server doesn't speak English, so I had to use Google translate to explain that my soft shell crab was too oily and soft. Food service is inconsistent, I ordered 2 plates of Salmon Sushi and there was a huge difference in quality with a very weird after taste in my second plate. Fries were oily and 0 seasoning, it's like the chef never heard of salt. I just couldn't eat and paid my bill and left. It was very frustrating to communicate which made the experience unpleasant. Is it worth a visit? Absolutely not! Skip it and save your money and time.
Modern izakaya place. Ambience abit dark and music can be abit loud. The inside seatings near the restroom is little bit quieter and cozier. Prices here abit on the higher side considering it’s a popular street of District 1. Service was abit slow. Ordered salmon mentaiko dish (88k/pc), xo veg(89k), roast pork dish (250k), fried chix wings (159k) and 2 drinks (~70k ea). Food tasted pretty alright just portion a little small. Nice place for a date. Total dmg for 2 pax: Vnd920k
Great place, casual and I chose footpath dining which is fun in this area, street is busy, a good Izakaya menu covering all it should with quality and tasty offerings. For me as a random stop just had a cold Sapporo, sesame/chilli cucumber salad and their ‘Sancho Beef’ a Japanese style Sando with very tender panko crumbed steak, soft bread and yuzu mayo all good all enjoyable. Great staff, very friendly, fun place. Worth a stop
