Wonderful Vietnamese food in a beautiful, clean,serene setting. Not a wild rave scene, but if you want a delicious meal with fresh components, this is a great place to go. Often "authentic" Vietnamese food means dirty and dank surroundings. I'll take great food in a pretty environment.

It is dark and full of old people. But the food is very good. The sushi is better than it needs to be and the Vietnamese main menu has a lot of options. If this restaurant updated its interior to be less fuddy-duddy, it would draw a younger crowd, I think. The location is pretty good but parking has gotten harder with all the new construction nearby.

Pros: Food is very good and beautifully presented. Atmosphere is calm and relaxing, especially romantic in the summer when you can sit outside.

Sugar Cane Shrimp Spring Roll is delicious. Also a must try - Green Papaya with shrimp.

For dessert - try the banana served tableside in a flaming rum sauce.

Cons: Expensive and americanized. You can find similar dishes other places for much less (but they won't be presented quite as nicely).

Who decided that Vietnamese food was going upscale?

Park anywhere and wonder if the place is even still open. We go looking for steamy bowls of vietnamese soup. We find sweaty Uptowners.

The hostess seats us in a room reminiscent of a steak house, with the occassional asian ornament here and there thrown in as an afterthought.

The menu is bound and thick.

Dishes are reasonable and expensive. The patrons appear to like this.

Pho is one of those perfect foods: fragrant, appealing at any hour, regionally different and extremely cheap. So the bar is set for the region's food.

Although noodle dishes were acceptable, we decide not again. Pass for Vietnam restaurant or Mai's - better food at a better price.

She's tired of other patrons asking her ethnicity since they can tell after backpacking in Thailand.
