| - This is my 4th or 5th visit.
It's a very atypical Vietnamese restaurant. Whoever runs it, was very smart in combining restaurant with several Vietnamese dishes with a full bar/pub experience. Here, all the workers are truly Vietnamese.
The place is open until 2.00 am everyday with the exception of Tuesday which is the day they are fully close to rest. And yes, if you are wondering, yes they serve food still just before midnight. Yes, yes and yes again. Probably, the only Vietnamese place in town I know that serves food past 9.00 pm. Kool right?! Yes, I know.
The food is pretty good, for the vast majority not extraordinary but good enough to leave you pleased. Some items are extremely well done like the deep fried Vietnamese rolls (item #133).
The portions are generous and overall well priced.
The service is probably one of the best ever experienced in town: attentive, super friendly and never invasive. And if you starting to show your face around often, they recognize you and they acknowledge that without making it feel awkward and/or forced because they hope in a better tip.
The place isn't too big but is very cozy with always great music playing in the background (mostly from '80s and '90s). In summer this place also offers more space since they have a small balcony in the front with a couple of tables and a pretty big patio right beside the kitchen.
I came here during the NBA playoffs and dude, lemme tell you that here the ppl go nuts.
In my opinion, the final rate should be more like a 3.5. But since it's open until late like very few in town, I feel generous and I'll go the extra mile by adding an extra .5 star.
So in the end, I think it's worth the drive to come here and have a proper night out without spending an arm and a leg.
Definitely worth it!
