    Very enjoyable food and in particular the Pho Bo was excellent - delicious broth. Service was attentive and very friendly. Unfortunately we did not have the best table - right next to the entrance, so the ambience was not as good as it could have been. Otherwise a very good experience.

    One of the best dining experiences that I have ever had in any city I have visited. The food 12/10, but the service was 15/10. Our server, Ethan, was spectacular with attention to detail and additional investigation for our MSG allergy. Also note, they are willing to customize the dishes. I had Kimchi and fried chicken with double chicken and bok choy instead of kimchi. There are 4 of these restaurants in Chicago and between the four, they have over 11K reviews with 4.5+ stars- they have definitely earned it!

    The food was very good. I am Cambodian myself and I loved how the chef used the flavors authentic to Cambodia and put her own twist on it — like the bone marrow plate. We did the “A Tasting Journey Through Siem Reap” with 5 courses and not 1 was disappointing. Well worth the $95 per person price tag! I would come again and I would definitely recommend this place to others!

    Our night was so enjoyable, and it started with our server. He was personable, helpful and good humored. The cocktails are creative, I had the Japantown and loved it. Very original, very refreshing. We shared the garlic fried rice, brussels sprouts, fire chicken and steak kalbi. Every bit of it was delicious. Truly, could not have been happier with the experience.
