I got Togo, high quality food and good portion. Everything looks fresh and tastes amazing. The images online menu didn’t look that good and my images doesn’t do it justice. But the food is excellent, I would come here againI got the grilled pork, every was packaged with detailed and care. And the food taste very fresh and clean it feels like they just made it.The salad it comes with is fresh and high quality mix green salad with hand made pickled onion & carrot. And cherry tomatoesKeep in mind:They probably won’t read you notes if you order togo. If you really need to make a changes just call them

Great place for casual dining. They have extensive menu and all the dishes I have tried are tasty. I usually come here for their bo ne and ube coffee. Family friendly. They also sell Viet snacks and dessert.

The food are real good. The server seem got abit overwhelmed when i got there. We order an organ porpridge(cháo lòng) and vietnamese steak skillet (bò né). The extra touch on the salad go for the steak are real good. Remember to call for fired dough stick( dầu cháo quẩy) á it not coem ưith the propridge.

Come here for some authentic Vietnamese cuisine & drinks!! They have Indoor and outdoor seats available! Nice outdoor vibes with lanterns. Love that they open early at 7am and close late at 10pm! Options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Service here was great. The staff was very nice explaining items on their menu.What I tired-- Grilled Pork Spring Rolls-Viet fried rice cake with egg; great appetizer to share!- Beef Wagyu on Skillet. Served with salad and bread - this was my favorite and definitely recommend!- Garlic Noodles with Wagyu Beef- Pan Fried Pho with Seafood & Veggies : one of the best pan fried pho I had. it was very crispy and flavorful!-Crab Meat Udon Soup, Shrimp, ShitakeDont forget to order their drinks too! They were very refreshing!-Avocado & Durian Smash-Sour Sop Smoothie-Pennyworth & Coconut JuiceThey also sell snacks on the side too! Definitely will come back here !

Not sure what cut wagyu was used but it was mildly tender, no marbling. The sizzling wagyu order took about 30 mins, too long for this type of establishment

Food was okay, not as good as I had expected, a little oily for me and lacked of flavor. The service was fine, the floor and menu needed to be cleaned more thoroughly. They were too sticky when touched and stepped on .

Heard about this new spot from a friend. The food was very good as we had the Salmon Spring Rolls, The Bo Ne Mushroom tastes amazing and great price! The Ube Cream Coffee was also 5-Stars. We will come back to try more dishes for sure!

I have been back here several times since it opened a couple of weeks ago for my most favorite Wagyu. You should definitely give it a try if you haven’t — Steak is juicy, pâté is uniquely pungent, mushrooms are well-sauté like how I want, but more importantly, the quality is consistent as my anticipation. It comes with a perky and moist baguette. Note that the wagyu comes in medium rare, on a cast-iron skillet, which is perfect for me.

I am a manager and had experience tonight not to be desired. I am writing this review hoping it can be a learning moment and improve your business. My wife and I stopped by to give this restaurant a try. We actually ordered 3 different entrees to try this restaurant offerings (Wagyu Sizzling Skillet, Banh Canh Tom Cua, and Chao Ga plus optional +3 salad). the waitresses read back our order. Though this was only accomplished after I had to ask one of the waitresses to take our order 15 minutes or so after seating. though there were 4 or 5 other tables they were not that busy, especially with at least 5-6 wait/front staffers.They brought us 2 soups base items first but without the optional additional salad. 20 minutes later after we finished what was brought out, I flagged the waitress to let her know we were still missing THREE ITEMS Wagyu Steak, the salad additional cost accompaniment to my Chao Ga, and our drinks. from what I observed, and I am only guessing that somehow my food was given to another guest and they were halfway done enjoying it. I told them then, that I no longer wanted the items considering our dinner was almost done and items were not even started to be produced.When I went to pay for the meal I inquired what went wrong. All I got was no eye contact mumbled excuse that kitchen forgot. The apology was not sincere and almost inaudible. I know mishaps happen we are all human and are infallible. I do not know any people there were ownership or management but ownership of mistakes and accountability can go a long way toward more positive outcomes and opinions and return of customers.Sincerely,Dr. Khai Tran

Go somewhere else if you want a more courteous and welcoming experience. Dumb dike looking orange hair girl had a rbf face just trying to give us our water and tossed the straws on the table at us. Lucky I’m with other people other wise the drinks would be flying into her face.

Decent food nothing to rave about, the service is quite slow during Saturday but is the grand opening so it can be a bit more forgiving. The menu is quite large but nothing stood out. Would I come back? Not at my will unless it’s with friends. Do I recommend it? Not sure.

The Bo Luc Lac was nothing special. I was disappointed and for its price, I would recommend not getting it. The service and timing was okay.. but like Lam said in the other review, nothing stood out despite its large menu.

I ordered wagyu steak and egg. The food was not in proportion to the price. The doneness was not the required degree. The taste was different from normal wagyu. It was very dry and obviously not a good part. Flies always appear when eating, which affects appetite. The service attitude is average. I will not come here again.
