Stopped by on their first day of their soft open. Firstly, the service was so seamless and quick I still can’t believe it was only a soft opening. Everyone working was so nice and respectful. The food was also great! I only got the Thit Kho, and it was so good. Also everything as it was coming out looked amazing so I can’t wait to come back and try everything else! Lastly, the cocktail I got, Pho the Culture, was so unique and delicious. It tasted exactly like pho, and my tastebuds were so confused in the best way. Every time I took a sip I literally kept waiting for noodles. My only really small nitpick is that I wish there were more non-shrimp options. There were a handful of things that had shrimp, pork & shrimp, or tofu options, and I would have appreciated a just pork option. But that’s a very small complaint and I can’t wait to keep coming back to this place and trying more things! What a successful soft open!

Absolutely loved our experience during the soft opening! The crispy tofu and tomato dish was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the lemongrass chicken was perfectly prepared and packed with bold, vibrant flavors. One of my favorite surprises was being able to order the Happy Lark as a mocktail. The sweet-and-sour combination was absolutely delicious and felt every bit as special as the original cocktail. My husband ordered the “Pho the Culture,” and it captured all of those warm, comforting pho spices in a really creative way. It’s always exciting to discover a new restaurant before everyone else does, and this place definitely made a great first impression. We can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!

I was excited to try this place, as this corner of Point Breeze can really use a new sit-down restaurant. It did not disappoint! The fish sauce wings and salt and pepper tofu were excellent, but I thought the crepes with pork and shrimp …
