Two dishes have made the reputation of this Vietnamese restaurant run by three generations of women who fled the Vietnamese communists in 1975: the garlic noodles and the roasted crab. That said, the garlic mussels and king tiger prawns are also worth a visit. Be warned: the use of fingers is required to avoid leaving anything on your plate. You can go there with your eyes closed, you will enjoy yourself. The decoration of the restaurant has on the other hand not much of particular, one comes here for the card.

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.
