crispy pork belly. better than a pound of bacon - probably because its 1 1/2 pounds of lovely fatty swine.

Order the pho and get it delivered. Perfect winter lunch!

Obsessed with their pad thai - there's an egg in it!

i can't even describe how amazing the happy hour is there. i don't want to either, because i want it to remain my little secret.

Impressive the pork belly
Dan NolanNovember 20, 2014
Way too sweet. Might be good Thai for New York, but for a guy from Sydney who knows his way around holy basil this was not my cup of tea and really made me miss home.
Vanessa RuedaSeptember 10, 2013
Get those sugar cane rib sticks! weird and delicious!
Andrew C.June 15, 2016

Spicy kalbi was so good!
Lior YanayFebruary 3, 2012
Very bad service. At one point, the ENTIRE crew just sat to eat together!! We had to work hard to get their attention for some service, and when the waitress came, she treated us as we disturbed her.

Basically random pick something in their menu and that would not be a bad choice. Suggest the catfish and pho.

Happy hour
Cynthia LiaoMarch 6, 2017
Do NOT order delivery from here. Multiple times my order was "forgotten". They don't pick up the phone so you can't even figure out what has happened. Completely crap management. Figure your shit out.
