    Food was great, but everything else just ok. Had old menu on windows which didn’t reflect the current price

    We got the set for 6 and every dish was exquisite. The wings were juicy, the beef was so tender, and the crab was flavorful. I would definitely come back.

    Excellent delicious large portion and nice presentation. Got the dinner for 4 and it was enough for 6 people with some leftovers. Roasted garlic crab was spectacular. Very reasonable price. Nice wait staff. Highly recommend!

    We went for my sister's birthday and all the dishes from the egg rolls to the veggie dishes to the crab tasted so clean, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. At first I was afraid to eat some of the fried food since I have a sensitive stomach, but I tried some anyway and my stomach felt fine afterwards. Each dish was quite expensive. Restaurants like this really motivate me to make more money so I can be spoiled by tasty fresh food more often.

    If you love dungeness crab or lobster, this is for you. The seafood is prepared using a Vietnamese style to create a uniquely delicious flavor. Large menu. Friendly staff.

    Always great service. The dinner set menu for 2 is delicious. The buttery garlic crab is delicious and about 2.5 lbs. Highly recommend.

    It was a really good start with the cabbage and chicken salad. The green beans were good. But the oxtail clay pot was pretty small and not very tasty for 28.00. I was really disappointed in that. Will probably go back for salad but nothing else

    We were craving for crab, we decided to try it out. We were the first there at 6 PM. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and the menu appeared to be new and bound in a nice hard bamboo case. We ordered the Garlic crab, eggplant, peppercorn wings, and garlic noodles. All are highly recommended but understand that the garlic crab is more a garlic sauce vs fried garlic. Get the peppercorn crab if you don't want a sauce. Fried peppercorn wings were piping hot topped with fried garlic and peppercorn. an excellent appetizer! Eggplant was a surprise as it was also fried and then topped with sweet sauce and was also very good. Garlic noodles were just ok for the price as it was a little clumpy but still delicious. The Crab was the main attraction; nice 2 pounder and as mentioned, topped with a lot of white garlic sauce, a bit too much for us but was still delicious. Service was excellent! ours was super attentive and friendly. Would recommend but be prepared for a hefty bill!
