    Had a fantastic experience! The drinks were good, offering a refreshing start to the meal. The menu boasts a selection of amazing food, but the highlight for me was the oxtail hotpot. It was simply amazing! The rich, flavorful broth and tender oxtail made for a memorable dining experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a great meal with excellent drinks.

    This place is always busy. Doesn't matter what time or day. Advice: Add yourself to the Yelp waitlist prior to arrival and check in at the door. It's usually pretty loud in there between the music, conversations, and banging of plates, silverware, etc. The service is a hit or miss. In general, they're quick but once the food are delivered to the table, the server may be hard to flag down. I'm assuming they all work together though, because you can probably just flag down any server when you need something. Food. They specialize in seafood dishes like escargot but also have hot pots that are also tasty. Our must have are the spicy seasoned grilled squid, house special mango salad and grilled escargot. There's plenty of options to choose from their extensive menu, and most dishes are a hit. Prices may seem high for some but they're worth it. Their nuoc cham and green sauce are also bomb. They also offer complementary che at the end of the meal with the bill. Overall, it's a solid spot for sure.

    The food is totally worth my waiting time ~ an hour. You can join the queue on Yelp App in advance so you don’t have to wait for to long. However, don’t forget that you have to check in with the host when you’re around 5th to 7th in line. I didn’t know last time so they took me off from the line so I have to join back in 🥹 But the food was delicious. It tastes exactly what I had in Vietnam. The service was great. The servers are friendly, helpful, quick, and dedicated. I would definitely come back next time to try more and more items when I have a chance to go back to Cali again.

    This place satisfies all your seafood cravings. We had 6 girls and no reservation on a Tuesday night. The wait wasn’t long, the service friendly and fast. My favorites were the quail (so crispy), the blood clams (so tasty), the morning glory beef salad (so crunchy and light). The prawns were really good (so good even if you don’t like prawn.) The snail in coconut were impossible to suck out of their shells, so that was disappointing. The scallop appetizer was fine. The oysters in butter were a bit heavy. The company was the best!

    This is always place I love to stopant when visiting from Canada. Just love all the variety of their seafood. I was disappointed they were out of razor clams, as that's my personal favorite. All the hot foods come out piping hot. Coconut milk snails are always bombs. Also recommend the cheese grilled oysters, rare beef salad, tom yum clams. Awesome service and ambience as well. A little on the pricier side but definitely worth trying.
