All of that goodness and qualities of a high end restaurant without the high price.
The menu has a very interesting selection, and the back kitchen definitely has the competency to make it. The back kitchen looked very clean too, which was great.
For anyone expecting authentic Asian flavours, though, do note that this is more of a retro fusion place. They do a good job tailoring the taste of the dishes towards the preferences of their preferred customers. Everything was too sweet and too much like a retro Asian takeout place for me, but I’m sure they would be just right for those who prefer that kind of thing.
I’ve been here in the past where I really enjoyed their chicken salad, it was also very fresh and flavourful. I also had their fried shrimp wontons which were served with a tasty light sweet and sour sauce (not too sweet just right). These 3 (crispy chicken with orange, chicken salad, shrimp wonton) were standout. I would come back to try more dishes.
Their stir fried noodles are reminiscent of Cantonese style noodles but are not the same as they lean on the sweeter side. So the noodles might be more aligned with a Vietnamese flavour profile. I prefer stir fried noodles to be savoury and closer to traditional Cantonese style but this is a Vietnamese restaurant so I keep that in mind
Used to grab lunch here whenever downtown and food was consistently great. It had been a while since we were in the area so recently ordered take out. Still excellent and reasonably priced. They do excellent vegetarian spring rolls, and a favourite is the crispy chicken with peanut sauce. It comes with plain steamed rice and a crunchy mix of bean sprouts, shredded carrots and onions. My companions who are familiar with Vietnamese cuisine raved about their dishes, so I highly recommend this restaurant.
We were absolutely amazed with the freshness and flavour of the food. I ordered the mango salad and the fried chicken with orange sauce. And my wife got the tom yum soup and fresh rolls. The orange sauce is out of this world.
We loved this place so much that we had to take the in laws there a couple days later for lunch. And this is where the atmosphere is just as good as the food. Clean, simple, bright and again with the friendly service. Later on during our lunch we learned that the sauces are all homemade. Oh and by the way that peanut sauce is incredible and now my new favourite. Thanks for great food and service and we will certainly be back again soon. Already craving more.
I also did not get the rice that was supposed to come with it.
