    Great lunch. Felt rushed - the tone was set upon checking in (with reservations) that our table had a reservation and hour later. I looked on line and there were still availability for reservations every hour after ours. When you are having several courses, the timeline is set by the server who takes our order and the kitchen. Our order was not taken promptly so that at up into one hour lunch. At the the one hour mark, we were not yet finished but there were other table empty and no one waiting at the door. 😡 food was good and have been wanting to eat here for quite sometime. Would I eat here again -yes. Would I make a reservation for lunch - yes but at 2 pm when you know there is no reservations coming in for your table after because I want to enjoy the food and not chow down like I was at a fast food joint.

    I appreciated our server who recognized that a reservation for date night warranted a better table than a deuce by the kitchen door. It was very loud but we really enjoyed the food.

    we made resos (thankfully) for two at 5:15 pm on sunday and there was only one table occupied at the time. as we checked out the menu, ordered and ate, the server turned away multiple walk ins as they were fully booked for the evening. two separate parties of walk ins even promised they would eat fast. the servers were genuinely friendly, and efficient. the cushioned seating was firm and comfortable, as long as you're not seated directly in front of the door. the menu looked interesting with different dishes and ingredients. their pho was solid with rare beef, brisket, beef balls, bean sprouts, lime and thai basil. the real stand outs were their crispy garlic butter wings, so addictive with the crispy garlic toppings and their pomelo shrimp and pork salad. the textures and crunch of the toasted peanuts with the deep fried cracker complimented well with the lime, fish sauce, and sugar vinaigrette, the salad was flavourful and refreshing. i would definitely want to come back with a bigger group to try more of their menu. the place filled up quickly. to avoid disappointment, best to make resos on open table. street parking is available and they accept credit cards.
