This place came highly recommended during our work trip, so we had to give it a try. We stopped by on a Thursday night a little early and we got seated right away. Our waiter was so helpful and walked us through the large menu! We got the beef bao, as recommended, and I got a Vietnamese bowl with chicken lemongrass. Everything was so good and uniquely put together. Looking around at the other food going out to tables you can’t go wrong and there is a good variety. For dessert my coworker got t...

This place came highly recommended during our work trip, so we had to give it a try. We stopped by on a Thursday night a little early and we got seated right away. Our waiter was so helpful and walked us through the large menu! We got the beef bao, as recommended, and I got a Vietnamese bowl with chicken lemongrass. Everything was so good and uniquely put together. Looking around at the other food going out to tables you can’t go wrong and there is a good variety. For dessert my coworker got the flaming cheesecake and I got a caramel cake. Would definitely recommend, perfect for all occasions. As we were finishing up, live music was starting which added a nice touch. Seems to get busy fast so I would recommend going early or getting a reservation.

10/10 all around. Our server Brian was super attentive and on top of everything. The cocktails were great. Most importantly the food...I have had A LOT of soup dumplings...A LOT. Their pho wagyu beef soup dumplings were the best we have ever had. The beef pan fried dumplings and duck wonton noodle soup were also phenomenal. Highly recommend this spot. Sad we are just visiting Austin because this place would have half my pay check weekly 😅

This place has a lot going for it, the food is spectacular, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the menu offers some great options. However, the service could use improvement. That said, the overall setting and quality of the food still make it worth a visit.

Had a really fulfilling time here for a dinner in Austin. We got the custard baos, which came out very promptly while we waited for our main meals. We ordered their rib and filet mignon pho and their duck soup, both of which were extremely rich and flavorful—would definitely recommend! Our server was Marvy and she was so incredibly sweet and ready to give us all the best recommendations since it was our first time here, and the other waiters we interacted with briefly were also very kind and accommodating. Will have to come back to try some more desserts!
