Society Cafe & Dining

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience here was unacceptable. One member of our group had to leave unexpectedly due to work, so we asked the staff to pack their meal to go. By the time the food had already been packed, they returned and decided to stay and continue dining with us instead. We politely asked if the staff could simply transfer the food back onto a plate, since we were eating in the restaurant after all. The response we received was simply, “No.” There was no explanation, no apology, and no attempt to accommodate what was a very simple and reasonable request. What happened next was even more shocking. Several staff members gathered around the open kitchen and stared directly at our table with expressions and body language that felt openly hostile and disrespectful. It was incredibly uncomfortable and intimidating. At that point, I genuinely started wondering whether we were paying customers at a restaurant or people who had somehow walked into someone’s home uninvited. No customer should ever be made to feel unwelcome or judged for making a polite request. This wasn’t about the takeaway containers. It was about the complete lack of professionalism, basic courtesy, and respect shown toward paying customers. Good food can never make up for service that leaves customers feeling disrespectful.

the place felt like a mix of a café and a restaurant ☕🍽️. it had a cozy atmosphere and was usually pretty lively, but somehow still quiet enough for a good conversation 🌿✨~ the staff were attentive and gentle too. the portions were HUGE (to me) 🍚! the food was flavorful and easy to enjoy, but what impressed me the most was the fried rice. it had that subtle "wok hei" flavor 🔥🍳. i didn't come across that very often, so it was such a pleasant surprise 🫶🏻~

Had a good experience at Society Restaurant. The food was delicious, especially Món của Huy, which was flavorful and came in a very generous portion size. The menu is great for sharing and trying different dishes with friends👌🏾 The only downside was the atmosphere, it was quite noisy during my visit. If you’re planning a quiet date for 2, it might not be the ideal choice. However, it’s a great spot for group gatherings, casual hangouts, and lively conversations with friends 🤍

My family and I had a very good experience dining here at Society Cafe & Dining. We ordered Roasted pork in perilla, Karaage with mango sauce, Taiwanese fried chicken tenders with tamarind sauce (our fave), Drunken chicken with bang bang salad, Fried squid, Society's fried rice, Charsiu with rice, and Jashminzu. All the food was awesome. They reflected the care and the talent from the cook. The staffs are very attentive as well! Highly recommend!

The experience and food started out really good. The fried chicken and cha sui rice had a good flavour. However, the pesto shrimp was where everything fell apart. They served shrimp that went bad and smelled bad. After trying to get a waiter over to explain the issue, the waiter just said it was the pesto and that foreigners don't like the taste of the herbs. After trying to explain (in Vietnamese) that it wasn't the herbs but the shrimp, they just said no and left us alone. They didn't try to make it right, not even an apology. I wouldn't come back.
