Deux plats ont fait la renommée de ce restaurant vietnamien tenu par trois générations de femmes ayant fui les communistes vietnamiens en 1975 : les nouilles à l’ail et le crabe rôti. Cela dit, les moules à l'ail et les crevettes tigrées royales valent également le détour. Soyez prévenus : l'utilisation des doigts est de mise pour ne rien laisser dans votre assiette. Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés, vous allez vous régaler. La décoration du restaurant n'a en revanche pas grand chose de particulier, on vient ici pour la carte.

While the food is not horrible, it's not great either. In that it's not worth the premium prices they charge. For example, $80 for their famous crab dish and it's too salty and greasy and wasn't as fresh as you would expect (at least our experience). This dish is living off the popularity from decades ago.
Their famous garlic noodles are overrated. For $15, I expected a larger portion esp considering 1) you're overcharging for everything else 2) it's literally noodles and garlic. Perilla has better garlic noodles, larger portions, and it's not nearly as oily.
Some of the lemongrass chicken was overcooked (tough and dry on exterior) and the pieces were ridiculously oversized for some reason. Again, Perilla has a better version (btw I don't love Perilla either but it's ???? to ???? here).
All in all, we paid $260 for four dishes and garlic noodles, taxes and tip (which was automatically included). Not often do I regret going to a restaurant, but this is one of those times.
And it wasn't just me, 4/5 of our group felt the same about the food. Really poor value and outside of the eggplant dish and service, everything else was a complete miss.
