| - First time visitor here!
I was honestly very surprised when I walked in. A friend recommended that we go here for dinner since she's been here so much. She raves about it. I remember hearing about this place once or twice but never thought much about it.
I walked in to this very clean, very modern looking restaurant. Dinner tables were lined with tablecloths. And paper! For easy clean up :) The cutlery rolls were wrapped nicely in cloth as well. The chairs were comfy - and leather! Very chic.
We were seated near the window but since the sun was beaming down and we were there, we were really hot. Sweating to death. So we asked if we could sit at another table and they obliged immediately! +1 for them!
My friend ordered the new udon dish. It was really good and had a nice herby presence. It wasn't overpowering and honestly very delicious. The noodles were cooked nicely and flavours came together nicely.
I ordered the specialty rice - it's the shrimp paste one with a lot of seafood. From the pricing, I thought they would skimp on the seafood - shrimp, scallops, mussels, etc. But no! Every bite of rice I had was accompanied nicely with seafood! Oh my goodness, it was like tasting heaven itself. Really, really delicious.
I also had the vietnamese iced coffee. I am Vietnamese myself and I was a bit skeptical but I wanted a caffeine boost. Absolutely delicious! Maybe a little less sugar (condensed milk?) would make it taste better but I really couldn't complain. I have a sweet tooth :)
My friend is a regular and they said, "Welcome back!" to her, which was pleasant. I saw another regular receiving a hug from a server and saw them exchanging kind words.
Very, very pleasant atmosphere, service and food. Looking forward to coming back and trying the rest of their menu.
