    We knew this was going to be a good meal but the restaurant turned out to be better than what we expected on every level- the food was spectacular, the service was sweet and our server anticipated our needs to make us as comfortable as possible, the ambiance was cozy and encouraged gorging. So glad we went!

    This is one of the best restaurants, that I have eaten on six continents. And nearly 150 countries - Chef Tran is currently The Bear. The simplicity of steamed pork dumplings- for a tear to my eye -for I marveled in their delicately deliciousness The pancake with Beef牛肉捲餅; Sliced Pork with Spicy Garlic Sauce蒜泥自肉 are sumptuous and complex - their structure amazing - their lingering, mint, cucumber, parsley - unforgettable. I fell in love with Chef’s Nuleigu This restaurant is a charm and should be cherished.

    Very friendly staff. Not much interior charm, table was a bit too small and chairs were uncomfortable, noise level is loud at lunch. Amenities such as ice water and paper napkins are in low supply. We were careful in ordering food and appreciated the chili pepper symbols next to the spicy dishes, but even the non spicy dishes (eggplant) were really spicy. Best to confirm spiciness with server. Our duck, pork and eggplant were just okay. If you like really spicy food this is your spot.

    Going to restroom from your table will be challenging, there is no wall way between table I’m not sure city will allow those kind of capacity, some food was good some not but food was pricy & on top of it they charge surcharge ( 10% ) for them to operate their restaurant then plus tax plus tip so 35% - 40% on top of the menu! It’s not for me ( pay check to pay check ) to spend unreasonable dinning out ! The first time & will be my last time if you are millionaire then good luck !
