Sometimes I find it annoying when waiters hover around and smother me with "Do you need anything?" "Is there anything else I can get you?" in either because they were afraid I might not tip them or someone previously complained about their demeanour and they're on the last straw. Sometimes I get pushed to the brink of annoyance that I just respond with something weird, like "yes I need assurance that society won't crumble into dust" or "is the universe empty or is it a limitless supply of everything?" which gives them something to think about before they come back with my bill.
At Kol3 they effortlessly go out of their way in making patrons comfortable in their visit, but in a natural manner. Theres warmth and authenticity in how they engage their customers and this is the kind of environment you can only get from passionate small businesses.
The dishes are great, their main specialty is the Banh Xeo crepes which I barely find in any Vietnamese restaurant. I had the traditional filling -shrimp, sprouts, mung beans, onions, and mushrooms with beef. It was delicious, light, and filling. They provide you with a fish sauce mix as condiment but I didn't find myself pouring it into the dish, it was that fresh and tasty.
Their Iced Vietnamese Coffee was also refreshing as I enjoyed it outside where they have table seating which made it a pleasant Sunday afternoon.
