This place truly holds a special place in my heart and I am so in love with it! When I lived in California, this was my go to spot I used to come here every single week because the food, atmosphere, and service were always incredible. Now that I’ve moved away, I have to fly back to California just to visit, and even though I can only come two or three times a year, every visit feels like a celebration. Every time I’m here, I want to try the entire menu the food is that good! And don’t even get me started on the drinks; I wish I could sample every single item on the drink menu because they’re all amazing. Whether it’s brunch with friends, a family gathering, or any kind of special occasion, this place is the perfect spot. I absolutely love the environment the vibe is modern, fresh, and inviting. The staff is always so sweet, cute, and genuinely kind, making every visit feel warm and welcoming. The food never disappoints; it’s consistently delicious and beautifully presented. I’m honestly so in love with this place there’s nothing else quite like it, and I can’t wait for my next visit to Nep!
Delicious and beautiful dishes! They take Vietnamese food to the next level. We ordered the crispy pork belly rice bowl, crab omelette, Vietnamese milk coffee, and sugarcane kumquat. The pork rice bowl was a nice balance of greens, meat, and carb. The skin was crispy, easy to bite, and the meat was tender. The greens and pickles were so fresh. The crab omelette came sizzling hot and spicier than expected, but delicious. The Vietnamese coffee was so good and the sugarcane kumquat was super refreshing. We made a reservation (recommended!!) and sat outside on the patio with our dog. They brought out a doggy water bowl. Vibe was good overall, however, the music might have been a little too loud but we might be sitting under the speaker. I definitely would come back to try their other dishes!
Everything we ordered here was so delicious, I got the pork belly bowl with beef belly on the side and the spicy wontons to share. The banana bread pudding was great as well. Would definitely want to return to try other dishes.
I've gone here twice now with my boyfriend and this place is a real treat. Any dish you choose will satisfy you, well prepared with plenty of quality ingredients. Definitely a place to check out if you're craving Asian brunch!!
Great food with a nice vibe and concept. Loved the chicken wings and fillet mignon banh mi chao. The banh mi was really fresh and soft inside. I was pleasantly surprised with the portion size and the staff were accommodating to my friend’s food allergies to shrimp.
