East-Meets-West dishes inspired by the rich collisions of food and culture that was borne out of the European colonization of Southeast Asia. Dishes blend and balance the spices and flavors of Southeast Asia with French techniques and Dutch and British colonial influences.

The menu is continually evolving, reflecting both new inspiration and changing of the seasons. Our restaurant carefully curates spirits, wines, and beverages focusing on interesting flavors and pairings. We hope you'll dine with us soon.

    Everything we tried was amazing! We got the Pho Bo, short rib banh mi, and rib stew. The flavor was incredible and the portions were so large, we had plenty of leftovers.
