Hidden Charm is a great spot. The staff are super friendly and attentive. They have traditional music or dance performances weekly, so it’s worth checking the schedule with them first. The draft beer is delicious, and the food menu is diverse and really well-seasoned. Definitely go check it out—the music playlist there is awesome!

It will be 5 star if they cook our food properly. We order 3 main dish, 2 of it was amazing, but the other one is chicken, they overcook and make it very hard to bite. They really sorry about it, remove it from our bill and even give us some dessert for complementary, love it! Keep improve 😉

A decent restaurant offering a wide range of Vietnamese classics. They also serve draft and craft beers, along with a variety of other drinks. We visited on a Wednesday night, and the place was completely empty, so it lacked a lively atmosphere - I imagine it’s different on weekends when they have live music. The staff were very attentive, and the food was good, making it definitely worth a visit.
