The décor is really nice / hip with great music playing. There is a very long bar on one side, a long row of raised booths in the middle and then tables on the opposite side. There were about 20 guests there when we arrived.
The menu was a little bit confusing at first. Interesting that tea (i.e. the kind that the server brings to your table in a pitcher to refill you glass) is not offered - only bottled Republic Ice Tea at $4.00 per bottle. My friend had hot tea which was loose-leaf and delicious - $4.00.
Appetizers ordered were the Port Pot Stickers (5 for $6.98) and the Saigon Egg Rolls (8 for $7.98). The pot sticker were delicious! Crispy without being greasy. The egg rolls were blah! Small - think of the little smoke sausages that you eat with tooth pics at parties and then smaller. Overcooked - almost burnt and just no taste.
I ordered the Spicy Basil with chicken entrée - $11.98 It was a good size portion with lots of veggies and chicken; very delicious. My friend ordered the Yellow Curry with extra veggies - $13.98. It looked great but was almost too spicy hot to eat (and he likes spicy foods).
Service was o.k. Nothing horrible but nothing great either. Marissa was our server. She was pleasant but there was really no customer service engagement...just going through the motions.
