David RodriguezApril 14, 2013Shaking beef was AMAZING!!! Also loved the ahi tuna tar tar and the presentation of it was really cool with the dry ice smoking out of the bottom. The ambiance of this place was really hip too.
Trish PeachApril 5, 2015Happy hour is the best here & the lychee martini is my favorite cocktail & the range of happy hour fare is divine with this papaya salad - yum!
Ray HartjenDecember 15, 2014Great place for cocktails or wine in Mountain View. Try "The Boss" or "The Dirty Old Man." Staying around for something to eat is a good idea too.
Peggy LiMay 20, 2016Come for the lunch buffet M-F for one of the best lunches in Mountain View! The tapioca pudding dessert is a personal favorite.
EArchitectJanuary 6, 2015Unusually trendy, almost nightclub-like, for a Vietnamese buffet. Good selection and inexpensive but no pho.
Elizabeth GJuly 19, 2013Peppercorn beef is outstanding. Shrimp cakes and spicy ahi with mango and mint roll also good...great decor, great drink menu
jansen cJuly 2, 2016Decent lunch buffet with a lot of choices, good start if you're new to Vietnamese food
Kristine TranJune 12, 2011Angela is my favorite server from here.. She's the best. For food must order shaking beef, Xanh salad, banana leaf sea bass, garlic noodles! Ooh yea and lychee on the beach. Lychee kiss!
Steve HFebruary 19, 2016Had the Shaking Beef, it was really, really good. Cool metal chopsticks, although I'm terrible with them :( fork available. Stone Pale Ale wasn't great, but they have a lot of other options.
Excellent happy hour menu- probably the best ambience and deal for happy hour in downtown mountain view
Had a minor problem and without us making any noise, the manager came over and comped our entire meal! Really outstanding service. Food and drinks were great too :-)
Carole ReyesJanuary 7, 2011Lunch Buffet is $12! the food here is delicious!: kobe beef rolls, garlic noodles, fried wontons, mini chicken eggrolls, popcorn chicken, papaya salad, etc. so much great food!
Chris H.October 17, 2014Had the spicy tuna tartare and green papaya salad. Both were great and perfect for sharing.
Shweta AgarwalNovember 26, 2013Great for sea food lovers. High end resturant with style and classy ambience
Pam ☕️ OMarch 25, 2016Value for dishes is not great but the staff was very welcoming for a large group coming in a few minutes before the kitchen closed.
Banana leaf sea bass, shaking beef, crab martini, and garlic noodles are all great.
Params RamanJuly 26, 2012Awesome lunch buffets.. Good amount of Vegetarian options :) !! First Viet place I loved!!
Lynne BairstowSeptember 15, 2010Plan to dine early -kitchen closes at 9:30; drink the lychee kiss, dine on shaken beef and garlic prawn noodles; also start with duck roll.
Glennia CampbellMay 24, 2012If you sit outside and get chilly, they will give you a cozy shawl to borrow.
BARTAdventuresApril 16, 2012Order the shaking beef but ask for it medium rare, otherwise it is cooked well done.- Banana leaf sea bass, shaking beef, and crab martini are ammmmazing
Tuesdays and Thursdays with Shea at the bar are where it's at. Tell him the white boy and a half sent you.
Louie 李景雲 LeeJuly 26, 2011If you want the free tap water, insist on it even if the waiter brings out the bottled water and offers it to you repeatedly.
Shikha MittalApril 25, 2013Not a fan of the chicken dishes, tried the mellow yellow noodles and lemongrass chicken. Will pass on this place.
- romit deyJuly 19, 2010Neat (not-so) little restaurant with a lounge, good food (Viet) and great service
LisaApril 25, 2013Dinner is overpriced and nothing outstanding. And it's TOO LOUD on a weeknight (probably coz of the happy hour). The lunch buffet is better maybe?

"So glad to find this place. Finally, a great Vietnamese place nearby that has no MSG and has the perfect lemongrass taste. All the grilled dishes are fresh and tasty. I'll be back often."
