Food was very delicious! I ordered the clam soup, oysters ( highly recommended) the aging duck was phenomenal. I’m normally not a fan of duck but I was amazed how they cooked the duck here, very tender and the sauce did give it a kick. The price is totally reasonable. Overall I’ll come back here again with friends.

My birthday dinner with family and everything was perfect. Foods are amazing, tastefully, mouth -watering and there are many rich flavors in each dish, but they all combine wonderfully together. They have only 3 kind of dessert but all are great. Nothing to complain of anything. 5* for everything 😁😁😁
Highly recommended, newly open Vietnamese restaurant in town. Nice and cozy with friendly service staff.
Had an pleasant experience here, food was on point and dishes were served very quickly without much of a wait time. Highly recommended!
The food was absolutely delicious, with generous and well-balanced portions. I was pleasantly surprised by how flavorful and creative each dish was. The signature chicken wings definitely a must-try. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always willing to accommodate my requests, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The prices were very reasonable considering the quality of the food and service. The seating area was cozy and inviting, creating a comfortable atmosphere to relax and enjoy a meal. I will be coming back and highly recommend this place to others.
