We have tried Kei Concept restaurants except this one and finally made the trip to check it out. It definitely does not disappoint. The place is buzzing and loud, so if you're looking to have a quiet conversation, this is not the place. It's located at where Gem was, Nep Café takes over for both lunch and dinner times. We're ordered Curry Crab Omelet (8/10) and Crispy Pork Bowl (8/10). As well as Tiramisu Coffee and Egg Coffee (9/10). Will definitely return.

Took my dad for his birthday during happy hour which starts at 2 and it is so delicious. Great food options on the menu plus delicious section of beers and cocktails. The restaurant asked us in advance what the name is of the person we were combating and had a sign for him when we arrived. I highly suggest the lemon grass beer and not pictured the ceviche!

My birthday lunch this year was at NEP. We just got back from a trip to Singapore and my partner is always looking for food that reminds him of the Southeast (Asia). He was interested with what this food looked like in pictures. Like usual, we ordered too much from crab omelette, beef bowl, crispy pork belly bowl, fried rice and more. For appetizers, we had calamari and a truffle dip with toast to dip. We all tried different drinks - creme brulee egg coffee, egg coffee, kalamansi lychee and a matcha berry drink. All the drinks were good but I'm not used to food and drinks that rich. Too intense for my Taiwanese palette but my partner loved it. I can probably stomach once a year. I need more balance but everything is delicious. They almost forgot our calamari but we double checked and our waitress got it to us right away. The beef bowl was probably the only letdown. Too much sauce in the beef for me. That extra sauce wasn't necessary.

Our first time at NEP Cafe and we were so impressed with the food and service. David was out waiter and he was so kind and helpful. Went out of his way to explain the menu and grab kid friendly cups and utensils. The food was delicious and well prepared. A place we would like to come back to for sure!

Not your typical Vietnamese restaurant. Really more of an upscale Vietnamese restaurant. Beautiful dining area with a direct view of the kitchen. One, large dining area separated with a decorated divider, sushi style counter as well.
We made reservations for lunch and were glad we did. Very busy at noon on a Wednesday.
Paul, our initial server greeted us quickly. Fully explained any menu questions we had and agreed to check with the chef on a custom order I had in mind.
Food presentation is very good, beautifully created and just as tasty.
If you are not a spice fan, as your server about your desired dish.
I wanted the Seafood Tom Kha Pasta as it looked like it would be mild. Luckily Paul let me know it's about a 5 or 6 out of 10 on the spicy chart. Well, that's 3 or 4 numbers higher than I enjoy. So I asked if they could make it with the garlic noodle 🍜 "sauce". He inquired and they did. It was great, probably one of the favorite dishes as our table. We ordered two appetizers and three entrées and shared.
The crispy pork rice bowl 🍚 was good, the filet Mignon was good, and the crab 🦀 toast was good. The calamari was just okay...
It's not on the menu but they have Coca-Cola products available.
Definitely worth a try. Hope you can bring a few people with you and share the dishes.
Enjoy!
