Located right on Main Street across from Costco. I stopped by on a Thursday night and the place was fairly empty, with a DJ playing EDM (electronic dance music). The name and the vibe didn't seem to match.
They have some happy hour drinks available after 7 PM, so I grabbed a glass of sangria for $5 and a plate of garlic fries for $10.50. It’s definitely a plus that they serve food late, but the flavors were just okay overall. It was a decent stop, but it didn't really leave me feeling the need for a revisit.

Show was great. Place looked great. Service was unfortunate. First server, my friend asked for 2 mins to look at the menu, she never came back. Grabbed another server. He was apologetic, but forgot 2 items, coke and the 2nd dish which was exactly the same as mine. I got there at 8, we didn't get to order till 8:45pm. He didn't get his food till 9:45. The noodles tasted like LuckyMe Pancit Canton from the packet itself with egg and whatever else was served with it. My friend confirmed it with his dish too. I like it, but I believe it's what it is.

As a returning customer who has always enjoyed this establishment, I was genuinely disappointed by my most recent visit. My friend and I arrived on a Tuesday evening around 8:10 PM to find the restaurant completely empty, yet we were met with zero acknowledgment. The bartender was occupied doing her makeup and did not greet us, while another staff member made eye contact, turned to his colleague, and walked away without a word. When the server eventually returned, we placed a simple to-go coffee order — which arrived only three-quarters full. When I handed over a $20 bill for a tab of approximately $10.88, he had the audacity to ask "do you need change?" — as if expecting me to tip nearly the same amount as my entire bill despite the poor service. I said yes, I needed change. Yet he returned with only $10, pocketing the remaining change without a second thought. It is not even about the 18 cents. It is about the principle. That kind of assumption and quiet greed reflects a troubling attitude — one that presumes a generous tip is owed regardless of the experience a customer actually receives. Good tips are earned, not taken.What makes this so frustrating is that this is not my first time visiting. I have come here on multiple occasions and never encountered anything like this. The staff working that evening appeared either undertrained or indifferent to basic customer service standards and that is a real shame, because this place clearly has the potential to do better.
I hope management takes note and addresses both the service culture and the handling of customer payments before more customers are driven away.

Absolutely fantastic spot while visiting California! The beer selection, diverse, and always fresh. Great vibe, super friendly staff who know their stuff, and the food pairings are surprisingly good. A must-visit for any craft beer lover. I'll definitely be back!

My girlfriends recently took me here for my bday celebration and this place did not dissapoint! My girlfriends definitely know what I like and they hit the spot with this place!
First off, as soon as we walked in, I was really digging the modern, tropical, edgy, industrial vibe. The music was a great mix of 90s R&B top hits. The place was spacious with plenty of bar and high-top table seating.
We love trying exotic food, so their wide menu selection was such an amazing treat!
We had the following:
*Lettuce wraps: this tasted like a Thai style salad and was delicious!
*Chicken feet: not what I was expecting, but pleasantly surprised! They were perfectly seasoned and had a delicate crispyness to them. We ate them all!
*Chicken knuckles (or something like that): these were very crunchy and surprisingly good! They kinda reminded me of chicken gizzards. Loved them!
*Oysters on a half shell: these were good, but weren't my favorite. They were a bit on the small side and could've been more fresh. We still enjoyed them and ate them all though.
*Curry noodles:This dish was very tastey with a little kick. It cane highly recommended by our awesome server Tinh!
*Beef oxtail stew with bread sticks: I think this was everyone's favorite! The beef was very tasty and tender. The broth was perfectly seasoned along with carrots and shitake mushrooms. This was so perfect for dipping the breadsticks in. It's a must have!
*Squid:Perfectly tender with a tasty dipping sauce. I think the sauce could've used a little more flavor, since the squid didn't seem to have much seasoning or flavor added to it. I do tend to enjoy stronger abd more robust flavors than the average person tbough. If you like squid, you'll definitely enjoy this dish!
*Soft shell crab: Comes with two perfectly crispy soft shell crabs. I liked it, but not crazy about it. I'm a huge fan of soft shell crab, but this was just ok for me. I'll try it again to see if maybe they were just having an off day.
*Truffle fries: Wish there was stronger truffle flavor, and not fried so much, but my friends loved them and cleaned up the plate!
*Sweet & spicy chicken wings: I'm a huge fan of chicken wings. Loved these! Super delicious and perfectly crispy!
We enjoyed three bottles of Proseco and a few cocktails. Would've been extra nice if we had an ice bucket for the bottles of Proseco, as it was a warm day. We made sure to drink them fast while the proseco was still cold. Lol. if you like margaritas, try their sweet & spicy one. I forgot what it is called, but it's a popular one & delicious! They have a huge full bar with a wide range of beers.
We had such an enjoyable time here! I can't wait to come back!
Thanks again for the great service Tinh!
