Reviews
Very well-trained friendly staff (From chefs to bartenders) they all kinds to customers, and gently guide customers throughout dishes 10/10 foor food and cozy place. P/s: music mixtape here is really trendy too
Okra has been my favorite dinner spot for the longest time. Okra offers such a lovely fine dining experience, but for way less than the typical fine dining prices—easily the best food/drinks in the city for a more than reasonable price! I highly recommend EVERYTHING on the menu. I have tried every item on the menu and NEVER been disappointed—all dishes are exquisite in both flavor, texture, presentation, and overall quality. If you haven’t tried Okra yet, then YOU ARE MISSING OUT. Cozy up with someone in a dimly lit corner, or watch your meal come to life at the bar. The staff is knowledgeable about the menu and will offer you top notch service the til end of your visit. Enjoy~
When I first entered, I was immediately welcomed with genuine hospitality from Miss Duong. She truly understands what hospitality means. She stayed attentive throughout, thoughtfully guiding me to the best seating options. I also had the feeling that if I wanted to change seats at any time, she would be more than happy to assist. I was truly impressed by her level of care and professionalism. After reviewing the menu, Miss Duong helped me select dishes and wine that perfectly matched my taste. This is something I highly appreciate, as it is rare to find such dedication and attentiveness in the F&B industry today. After each course, the cutlery and plates were replaced in a very proper and professional manner. As for the food, I was particularly impressed by the creativity in seasoning. Initially, I assumed it would be similar to other restaurants, but I was genuinely surprised — the flavors were not what I expected. They were unique, distinctive, and truly captivating. The restaurant itself has a warm and cozy ambiance. The restrooms are exceptionally clean. The lighting is well-balanced — not too bright — creating a relaxed, chill atmosphere, enhanced by candles on the table. The background music and noise level are perfectly set, allowing for private and comfortable conversations. P/S: This is the underrated restaurant like a hidden gem
The dishes were good, though a bit salty for Vietnamese taste. You should definitely try the noodles—they were the highlight of the whole meal. The other dishes were okay but not very impressive. The service was excellent, and the staff were really friendly. I’ve come back many times because of this. Love it!
