It was not very busy and the service was very slow. The chairs are very uncomfortable, metal with no cushions. The buns were tasty but the mushroom one was very salty. And the broth for both vegetarian and meat soups was very bland and watery. Lunch for 4 ( Including 1 cocktail, a beer and two coffees, two buns, 3 soups and 1 salad) totaled over $95. The cocktail had very little alcohol in it and the waiter knew nothing about the types of craft beer offered and the one we ordered was bright pink and sour. There are only 3 vegetarian options . They charge a dollar extra for each additional veggie added to your soup and $2 extra for rice noodles instead of Ramen noodles which is crazy. I give them 3 stars because the food wasn't terrible just in my opinion not worth what they charge. I think they're trying to profit off it being a one of a kind type of place in the area but not coming through in the flavors that are expected. The place is unique in looks and clean.
I love this place! Only my second visit but definitely wont be the last. Maria was an awesome server that described every ingredient to the T for a friends first visit. Beautiful atmosphere and all around great experience! Can't wait to try the pho, although I do recommend the use of tripe, tendons, and original concepts.
The food was very good and there was a really nice variety of options. The restaurant is quite small and open, so don't expect a cozy experience. There was one table of patrons that was quite loud that made it difficult to hold a conversation with my wife, but not really the establishment's fault.
My biggest criticism are the metal chairs they use. While they look neat and trendy, they're rather uncomfortable after sitting in them for 45 minutes.
I definitely will be back though. That ramen bowl was amazing!
I was so looking forward to this place, but was sadly disappointed. The small plate items were great, but the bowl had no taste, very bland. The salad and tacos were really good! They also just took my leftovers without boxing them??? Nice people... also noticed curt responses to bad reviews. I require no response, this is simply my opinion.
This was my first experience here and a fantastic one. The server created a delicious Macha cake and I don’t even eat dessert!! It was amazing!!! Give this place a try!! We will be back! The server and the staff were friendly and quick and the food was picture perfect!
