VasiliDecember 28, 2015All dishes we tried were excellent and portions small enough that you can try a wide variety. Really great Vietnamese food. Small and quaint. A must visit.

Miroslav NemčokMarch 25, 2018Fresh spring rolls and frog are delicious. Don’t forget to flush it down with a fresh juice. Mediocrely expensive, but worth the cost.
