    Ask them to spice it up when you order because its pretty mild for Vietnamese food.

    The panko fish tacos are the bomb. On the specials menu normally, but they always have them.

    Plates are pretty small for $6 Happy Hour Sunday. Waitresses rush to clear take away ur plates :(.

    Whoever trains the staff should tell them not to remove plates from the table unless everybody in the party is finished. Makes one feel rushed. We got your money now get out!

    Dont ever eat here! All the plates we ordered were horrible. Nothing saved in this place. Horrible food, terrible service and expensive! Advice: spend your money in something worthy.

    Perhaps an off nite, but seriously disappointing. Loud, under and over cooked food but reasonable wine list.. Not coming back
