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
