First time we tried Vietnamese/French food and food was amazing. We made reservation for the evening, showed up little early and they are able to accommodate us though the restaurant was jam packed on a Sunday. Since this was for my son's 21st birthday they did some customization. They quickly gave the seat and the server arrived quickly and explained what their food is all about. We ended up ordering some cocktails and food. The food was one of a kind. The food showed lots of passion towards cooking. The ambiance is top notch and best is they change your utensils for every dish. This restaurant is more on the expensive side but worth going for a special occasion.

Sitting in the restaurant as i make this review, i should mention that we've only finished our apps at this point. Service is immaculate, restaurant interior is gorgeous and the cocktails are intriguing but in the best way. Came for my anniversary and they even went out of their way to customize a message onto the menu congratulating us on our date. Ordered the grilled prawns thinking it was a different dish that came with papaya salad. Despite my own mistake and mix up, they gave us the other dish (with the salad and shrimp) free of charge . My partner and i plan to come here every trip we make to SD, waiting to try the egg noodles and dry aged duck . 10/10

Such a fun weeknight friend dinner here my girlfriend! Having seen photos of the interior, I made a reservation to dine at the bar. We were seated in the perfect spot with views toward the outdoor seating on one side and to the interior tables on the other. Service was great and our bartender provided good recommendations for both food and drink. Since we weren't too terribly hungry, having had hors d'oeuvres at an event beforehand, we went simply with cocktails and shared an eggplant starter and sea bass. My very inventive cocktail came with a duck fat wash and side of duck cracklings. We will definitely return!

We made reservations and arrived slightly early. Fortunately they were able to seat us right away. Ambiance is perfect for date night. Drinks were great. Lots to choose from from. We then switched to wine for dinner. The wings were my favorite dish. So much flavor. My second favorite was the hamachi but I would say that the noodles were my wife's second favorite. The flan for dessert was excellent. We shall return to this wonderful establishment.

It's best to come here in a group, so you can share and sample many dishes. We came here as a group of 15 (probably one of the biggest tables that they can accommodate) and ordered half their menu. We loved every dish! * Roasted beet salad * Poached shrimp with green papaya salad * Diver scallops * Garlic broccolini * Crispy chicken wings (a favorite) * Grilled Japanese eggplant * Wild mushroom congee * Vietnamese vegetable curry * Skull Island prawns (a favorite) * Wagyu skirt steak (a favorite) * Wagyu smoked beef rib (a favorite) * Smoked dry aged duck * Vanilla flan with miso cream * Grapefruit semifreddo We were so full at the end that we thought it was Thanksgiving.

A very hot guy brought me here on a Tuesday for my birthday dinner. We had reservations for 2 at 8 pm. We were greeted with the phrase, "Hi Friends! Good to see you". It was such a great experience. Our table was ready right on time. Our waiter was very elegant and proper, also addressed us as Friends. He suggested foods as we requested and brought everything out with elegance. We are both very health conscious people and the menu and drink menu helped us to have continuity with that goal. I was concerned about the later reservation causing us to have less than perfect service or for our food to come out wrong because the kitchen was done and tired, but that just wasn't the case everything was made perfectly even with the late reservation
