After crushing the blue team in the first game of paintball (while down one man) we went chick fil a. There is nothing better than chick fil an after paintball in the rain. oj stole my sandwich but that’s ok. Also this pretzel bun sandwich was really really good. After this we went and raced in a cornmaze then we won a round of knockout. What an incredible Olympics day! Happy olympics!

I learned this morning that I guess everyone like this place a lot more than me. It reminded of Italy where they take 3 ingredients and feed you a lot of them. Quite boring pretty quickly 😭 also it just wasn’t very good. I had higher expectations because I’m not a costal elite. We tried sitting outside but it was too cold. None of them will give their likeness to sora which is very sad 😭 I wasn’t a huge fan but it was fine and filling, also a good vibe!

It was pretty good but not great, also there was no need for the kings Hawaiian roll. Idk why I was upsold for that. The drink was very strong, stronger than expected. Basically just rum. It was very easy to walk into at 6ish on a Friday so that’s pretty good. If I didn’t expect it to be great, and thought I was just going to do it for a snack and drink, it would be pretty good. Not a dinner place. The red meat patties (short rib and goat) were significantly better than the duck and curry crab patties. Kinda expensive for what it was, but super nice service and great music. They also let me sit like 10 mins before rest of party got there so that was quite nice.

No matter what Neil says, this is not right next to 8282. What do you think “pad” means? And how should me and arlen haze the new hires? The beef pad Thai from lan Larb is better and truly amazing. This was all good, and ask to sit outside in the back yard if it’s nice it. It’s so beautiful and vibey out there. The basement area is pretty dark and cramped comparatively and food does not make up for that space. This yard and meal was very nice.

Solid meal and solid movie! I didn’t know it would be scary 😅😪 so I just closed my eyes! Was very intense haha (the movie not the meal). I really liked the kfr, but honestly probs didn’t need the steak. Mishik still has the best I’ve had at a resto!

They wanted us out, the place was packed, but Neil does what he wants and he wanted this place and this place is amazing. I thought I hated pho, but I just hate pho that isn’t this one. This pho was incredible. Didn’t even need siracha! Where’s your oar?

On the expensive side but very good, probably the best sit down Vietnamese I’ve had in Manhattan. A bit like Bangkok supper club for Vietnamese (though a bit cheaper and less inventive). Really solid food, fast service. The Calamansi spritz was so so good. Looking forward to coming back.

have FINALLY found a sit down vietnamese restaurant in the city with flavors comparable to Garden Grove, CA ordered the Bun Cha Hanoi, Cha Ca (grilled whole Branzino), and a Calamansi Matcha Spritz everything was great - I particularly liked how fresh and abundant all the veggies were and how sweet the fish sauce was. the Cha Ca was maybe a little too salty but balanced out with the veggies and sauces. also the Calamansi Matcha Spritz is one of our new favorite beverages in the city would definitely come back again, there are so many things on the menu I want to try! overall generous portion sizes & good quality for the price. Nikhil calls it the Bangkok Supper Club for Vietnamese food
