    This place was more than amazing, I celebrated my friends birthday and it was perfect from the food to the service. I ordered the crab claws & cajun pasta and it was a 10/10. The restaurant had a really nice ambiance and aesthetically pleasing as a great place to take cute pictures. We also had a giant teddy bear at our table that was the highlight of my friend’s night.

    This was our forst time at Mot Hai Ba after hearing people talk about it for years and I genuinely regret not going sooner. The food was unique and delicious, the service was top notch and friendly, the atmosphere was cozy and lively. Nothing but good things to say about the experience and can't wait to go back again - hopefully very soon!
