A special thank you to Peony, who made our dining experience so lovely. She is not only very pretty, but also incredibly polite, humble and warm.What we appreciated most was how naturally welcoming she was. She made us feel comfortable and well taken care of, without ever being imposing or intrusive. Her gentle and sincere manner really stood out.Peony is a wonderful reflection of the warm hospitality of this restaurant. We truly appreciated her kindness and hope she knows how much it was noticed. ❤️

Walked in and the venue was beautiful. Wasn't too sure if the food was going to be too westernised as there wasn't any Vietnamese patrons, however food turned out to be delicious. What sold the whole experience was my waitress Peony (Huong). She was so lovely, attentive and ensured that all my meals were gluten free. She was definitely a highlight. Very pleased to be served by her and guided through the menu in a thoughtful manner.

Peony, in particular, was lovely, gentle, and made us feel very well taken care of.The food was extraordinary, beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly prepared with great care.The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. Definitely a hidden gem and a place we would happily return to.

I had a meal at a restaurant near the hotel where I was staying. Overall, the food was quite good, and the staff were friendly and helpful. However, the space was a little small and felt somewhat cramped and stuffy.

The food was delicious, especially the five-spice ribs and the duck pho. The service was super nice! The girls explained all the dishes to you and gave you suggestions on how to pair them with the sauces. Definitely worth a try!
