Review for: Hot Pot Combo & Egg Rolls 👍 Hot Pot Combo Family dinner (C) for two : That's hotpot with seafood, salt & pepper pork chop, rice, and dessert. This is a great place to try Vietnamese hot pot, aka lẩu. The Thai soup broth tastes like a mild tim yum soup that is not typically "too sour and too spicy". Seafood is def not fancy as it's priced reasonably, but the seafood cooked in the broth turns out to be a bomb! A plate of fish sauce for dipping makes it tastes even better! Salt and pepper pork chop, this has to be one of the best in Vietnamese restaurants. Lean but tender, with less than thin coating, bursting with flavors. 📎 FYI Dessert is listed as "tráng miệng" on the menu, which means "dessert", therefore the selections may be different with each visit, ask before ordering, as combo meals may not suit everyone's taste. We had one of those with typical Vietnamese ingredients, taro, sago, coconut milk. Not overly sweet and rich, perfect for a spicy hotpot meal. 👍 Egg Rolls Crispy fried egg rolls (chả giò), stuffed generously, without taro, but with a little crab meat.

I've visited this restaurant several times now, and while the food usually delivers, the service leaves a lot to be desired. Let’s start with the positives: stir-fried Lobster with Butter & Garlic, has consistently impressed me. The flavor is rich and good, and the lobster is always cooked just right. It's definitely a go-to dish for me and has never disappointed. Most of the other dishes I’ve tried here have been pretty good as well. The flavors are generally bold and good. It’s clear the kitchen knows what they’re doing when it comes to cooking seafood. The only dish that didn’t hit the mark for me was the Stir-fried Lobster in Tamarined Sauce—it just didn’t work for my taste, with the sauce overpowering the natural flavor of the lobster. Unfortunately, the service is where things really fall short. The staff is not very attentive, and on more than one occasion, I’ve had to wait too long just to get someone’s attention. One particular experience stands out: I asked for a 4–5 pound lobster, and when they said they didn’t have that size, I told them I’d pass on it. Instead of being understanding, the woman taking the order gave me attitude and didn’t return to our table at all after that. That kind of behavior really takes away from what could be a great overall experience.

A great Vietnamese lunch spot in the center of the Little Saigon area. Service here was fine - nothing out of the ordinary for a viet restaurant. The portions are really good, and the side soup came with meat, which is something I don’t typically see when ordering a noodle/rice meat plate. They also had very good calamari, and had very classic tasting Vietnamese iced coffee. Lots of seating available, and doesn’t seem to get too busy. Good spot to dine in for Viet food overall.

When you walk in, they will greet you and sit you anywhere. There are a plastic wall fence to pritect you and others. The menu have a small section for breakfast and lunch but the dinner section is huge. What I ordered was Stir-friend whelks in tamarind sauce, soft shell crab with butter, and 2 pc roti quail. They tastes like how I remembered when I was little. Would recommend 11/10!
