Loved everything! Ordered the 6 persons combo and we couldn't eat Thai hot pot, so they quickly packed it up for us to take home. Salt pepper shrimp was very crispy and tasty.
Good food, very nice and fast service. All dishes taste amazing. Love the vibe here.
Vietnamese French restaurant that has been open since 1988 and with good reason too. It's one of the few Vietnamese restaurants with comfortable outdoor dining still established. The crispy baked catfish is massive even for the small size and easily fed our table of four. It was tender and flavorful and not too bony. The filet mignon is served on a sizzling hot plate and was also quite a tender cut. Also the egg rolls delicious. The fish sauce is not too watered down. My least favorite dish was the curry frog legs. I think it's maybe because I don't really like the idea of frog legs that much but our table ordered it and I tried it. If you can't get over the idea of frog legs, don't order lol
Surprisingly good. I've never had catfish cooked this way. It simply was much better than I expected. Not overwhelmingly seasoned but perfect!
Food is always good here. I understand the ambience can look a bit old but for me if gives off the nostalgia vibe going there as kids. 2 thumbs up
Went with coworkers on a Friday lunch, got the family set. Easily the best work lunch I've had. Lots of variety, great quality dishes, and came in a timely fashion. Service was very attentive also.
We had the shrimp spring roll and the peanut sauce was delicious. Then we ordered the seafood hot pot which was full of flavor. We could not stop eating!!
I really enjoyed the food here. I was craving some Vietnamese egg rolls and they were exactly what I hoped for. Came with lettuce but they didn’t have sweet and sour sauce but the traditional fish sauce which is sweet and tangy but I also got the shaken filet mignon which was so tender and juicy but I wish had a little more seasoning. Still really good but the only other thing Is the menu said it came with white rice but I got something more like a Spanish rice not sure what exactly but it was still good. Definitely hit the spot.
Get the grilled catfish! It’s pretty awesome! Bun cha Hanoi is good too. Soft shell crab is good but not one of their best dishes.
A good range of Vietnamese dishes, including a very popular fried catfish. Nice clean atmosphere and the service was good. This place has been around for over twenty years and it is still very busy.
Best ca nuong I have ever eaten. Great food and great service. The price is a bit higher compared to other vn food restaurants but it was worth it.
Nicer Vietnamese restaurant to go to. Especialty is the baked catfish. It was good but I was expecting a bigger one. Beef salad was good and tasty. My coworkers and I went on a Tuesday night. It wasn't full but there were a few tables. Be ready to wait at least half hour for the baked catfish. Spring rolls were ok. The sparagus soup was good. Plenty of parking. Staff was attentive. Will come back again.
Update 09/23
- Invited a good friend to dine here, it's same ambiances, good service and, last but not least important, my favorites Baked catfish and Seafood Hot pot are still remaining at same taste as before, same quality, EXCEPT for the price 🤣INFLATION, I guess. Will continue to dine here again.
It's been a while since the pandemic that my husband and I, we returned here to enjoy its famously baked catfish and seafood hot pot. Boyz, it didn't let us down at all.
- First of all, here are some updates as of today, you now can dine-in (with limited seating per state - law, of course). From my observations, restaurant has re-arranged its tables approximately 6' apart including surrounding glasses dividers for each table (the amount of tables have been reduced in half compared to pre-pandemic) so we feel more safe and comfortable to eat-in. They tried to seat customers as far as possible from one table to other tables. All employees were wearing masks, and they cleaned up tables and chairs thoroughly with sanitizer after each used.
- As usual, we ordered our favorites baked catfish and a seafood hot pot. The balance of the sweet, sour and little spicy of the broth was perfect. There was a variation of seafood such as fish, shrimps, clams, jelly fish, squid, snails and quail eggs for you to dip in broth. It served with rice vermicelli and vegetables. I'm still salivating when thinking about it. Lol. We couldn't finish it because we still have to make room for the baked fish. Wow. The fish was perfectly baked. It was golden brown, crisp and fresh. Beautifully decorated with its trimmings such as lettuce, carrot pickle, cucumber, crushed peanuts. So yummmmy. It served with rice paper, a full plate of various mints, lettuce, more carrot pickle and slices of cucumber dipped in anchovies or mixed fish sauce of your choice. It's so good. Worth an hour drive to get here. Lol.
Service was nice, attentive, and friendly. Expected to wait a bit longer for the food, which was understandable. Perhaps, kitchen personnel down-size due to the Covid-19 situation. However, foods had same taste as before pandemic.
Overall, we would definitely return again.
Really good crispy catfish. They prepare it fresh so there is a bit of a wait but it's worth it. The service was nice and they were very attentive.
My family have been eating here for years. The quality has remained constant and the delicious. Most of the time we go for the catfish but every now and then we change it up.
The decor hasn't changed as far as I can remember, that being fairly dark with spotlights on the tables, overall burgundy color scheme, and generally more intimate than other places. It's great for dates and family meals.
It's no real wonder why this place has existed for so long, and will continue to persist as a cornerstone for Vietnamese-French cuisine.
My only place to go for Baked Catfish, they have the best baked catfish here. The service is beyond wonderful.
Great place been here since 1988 and REAL Vietnamese food, fresh and tasty 😋
