We had such a great experience at this restaurant! Felt like we traveled to Vietnam in the East Bay. The tapioca dumplings were amazing, and the pork belly was so great, we were glad that we worked up an appetite before arriving! We will definitely return to try the drinks, try more food, and enjoy the ambience. Also shout outs for the mural of Anthony Bourdain on the outside! Cheers.

Mind-blown. I was really looking forward to it and I couldn't have been happier! I can't wait to come back already! You can just taste how thoughtful they are with their recipes, and how fresh the ingredients are. I love that they have regional dishes that you can't find anywhere, and that are just so delicious and special! Ps: I love that they have an outdoor patio/park let thank youuuuu!!!!
