We came for dinner on a Sunday and ordered the corn, shaking beef, crab fried rice, squid, coconut escargot, and grilled wild boar. Everything was tasty, and the service was decent. The decor has a nice, modern look, but a few tables had folding plastic chairs that were pretty uncomfortable. If those are meant to be permanent, I’d definitely recommend upgrading to nicer tables and chairs to match the rest of the restaurant.

Super impressed with the menu—tons of variety and everything we tried was packed with flavor. The shaking beef was a standout, and the crispy rice paper rolls were addicting. Loved the mix of street food vibes with modern twists. Definitely coming back for the hotpot and chef specials next time. Great spot for a chill night out with good food and drinks.

Found a new spot for hanging out with friends, and I’m so glad I did! I wish I had ordered more oysters, but I guess you can tell I’m a big fan of them by looking at my wall. The medium-sized oysters were just perfect. They were fresh, meaty, and juicy, and not a single one had a fishy smell. It was an amazing experience! I’m not sure what the dish name was, but I think it was “grilled wild boar.” It was delicious! The right amount of spices made the flavor incredible. And the fried okras were amazing too. We definitely need to add that to the appetizer menu. The ballot in tamarind sauce was also delicious. You wouldn’t believe it was ballot. It wasn’t scary at all. And the sea snails in coconut milk? They were very creamy and so good. It was super easy to enjoy. The clams boil in lemongrass was refreshing and meaty. Servers were young but they were very professional. You guys made my night! Keep it up!

Great Viet drinking food. The Bo Luc Lac, saigon spiced squid, and pan-seared boar were delicious. The quail and perrywinkle conch was okay. I'll definitely return to try the rest of the menu. Great service.

The restaurant is located in Paragon Town Center, so there are plenty of parking spots. They just opened, so the system is still incomplete. There’s some confusion in how the restaurant operates. It feels like a mix between a restaurant and a coffee shop, with loud club music playing inside. The menu offers the variety you’d expect from a restaurant, but there’s no formal seating system. Guests walk in and choose their own seats, like in a coffee shop. There’s also a cashier counter with a screen displaying a limited menu, mainly banh mi sandwiches, drinks, and a few snacks. However, there’s also a full paper menu with a wide range of dishes. Some customers sit down and are handed the full menu by staff, while others go straight to the cashier to order, only to discover there’s more to the menu than what’s shown on the screen. It took us a while to read through everything before placing our order at the counter. I believe the interior was inherited from the previous business, a bakery coffee shop, which may explain the somewhat confusing setup. The music inside is mostly dance music and very loud, which doesn’t suit a dining atmosphere. The food was a mixed experience. We ordered grilled pork banh mi sandwiches, a shellfish dish, and a salad. To my surprise, the grilled pork banh mi was cold, not room temperature, but cold. They apologized and reheated it, but while the bread warmed up, the pork inside remained cold. At that point, we didn’t want to complain again, so my friend just ate it. We had: - 2 grilled pork banh mi sandwiches: both were cold. The grilled pork appeared to have been taken straight from the fridge without being properly reheated. - Steamed clams with lemongrass and basil: flavorful, but the clams were extremely tiny. - Sweet snails with salted egg sauce: tasty, just wished there was more sauce. - Boneless chicken feet with soaked lemongrass and kumquat salad: this was also good. The staff were friendly and attentive. Overall, everything from operations to atmosphere felt a bit disorganized. However, I did enjoy some of the dishes and might come back during the day to see if the music is less loud and to try more items from the menu.

Wonderful and completely relaxing environment if you are on the right day to come. So they have a mini live-stage that encourages both non and professional singles come along to sing, mostly Vietnamese tho. Imagine relaxing and singing with your friends after a hectic day, that's a good lit up. Butttttt, the portion of food is so small, even though it's good. Perhaps they’re targeting Vietnamese individuals who wellknown having a relatively small appetite for food. I don’t have any pictures, but here’s a snapshot from my friend’s video. As you can see, the amount of beef is equivalent to the size of two lady fingers bean and cost around $17-18. We spent $60+ per person including tip if you wonder the prices. May the food be half as much as the tranquil music, I might come back.
