We were 4 in our party and wanted to try as many dishes as possible. We ordered 5 appetizers and 5 main courses. Each and every dish was exceptional! Amazing flavors, taste and variety. Never seen a combination of Vietnamese and Latin cuisine. The service was very friendly and efficient. From a ambience and decor standpoint I give it a 4 star rating rather than 5 because it’s not a fine dining place. But it’s not meant to be. It had a NY Greenwich Village vibe. Will go back.
