The staff is super friendly and accommodating. The food is excellent. Not a bite disappoints. The bulgogi garlic noodles are particularly delicious. The food comes out quick too on top of everything else. This is absolutely the go-to place to satisfy late night cravings. Would definitely visit this location more often. 10/10

What a find! Delicious!! My wife and I shared the Bulgogi sandwich and the garlic noodles. Their secret “green sauce” is great on everything. Hot and sweet. We’ll be back soon to try the chicken wings and their egg rolls. Highly recommended!

This place just opened and its a must try!! The cashier was super friendly and helped me order based on the photos that I found from other reviews. She even offered me some samples of the various teas that they have. I would recommend the Watermelon Blueberry. I would also recommend the Cajun Garlic Fries with Bulgogi Short Rib Steak as it was amazing. I highly recommend giving this place a try.CheersMy order:Garlic NoodlesCajun Garlic Fires with Bulgogi Short rib steakPopcorn chickenWatermelon Blueberry Tea

Delicious food!!! We will definitely be back to try their other menu options. We got the bulgogi garlic noodles and grilled pork banh mi. The garlic noodles was very flavorful. Also, the interior design is very nice.

This place was really clean even for coming in late at night! The girl at the register was really nice! I tried thier bulgogi short rib steak sandwich 🥪 it was pretty good. Tasted very fresh! We even sat on the bench next to where you order you can see the chefs making and prepping the food. My bf got the pork sandwich and the bulgogi as well he preferred the pork instead! 😋 next time Im trying that one for sure! I also ordered a Thai tea 🍵 😋 omg it was so good! It was a nice balance between sweet and not to sweet! It was not super overpowering like other places might be. They also had a golden bao bun which looked good but I didnt order. Its just a fried steamed bao bun! Each sandwich was around $9- $10. Open Crazy Late like thier sign says! Wanna try thier pasta next time as well! If ur into Vietnamese sandwiches and food maybe check out this place! Clean, friendly, and good food! 👍

Ive had the banh mi and the popcorn chicken, but this time around I wanted to try the rice bowl. Fresh, juicy house chicken that had a nice tender chew and filling for a dinner meal. The location is nice and the staff were friendly. The only thing I have for the look of the restaurant is that I wish there was more natural lighting. Other than that, its convenient in the business areas, food was good and close to the observatory if youre seeking a meal before a show.

The food was just okay and in line with the price. We had the shrimp garlic noodles and while the shrimp were well cooked and seemed fresh, the garlic noodles were lacking compared to other local seafood places on Bristol. The sliders were cooked just right but there was only a total of about half a mushroom sliced up between the two sliders which was disappointing. We also tried the chicken wings on medium spice which wasn’t flavorful at all. Perhaps the hotter option would have made them better but overall the quality of the wings wasn’t very good and reminded us of the wings at the local Viet sandwich chain shop. Their green sauce is very good (I think it has a little wasabi in it maybe?) and I’m saving what we have to try on other stuff.

A great new way to present Vietnamese cuisine as fast food style. All the foods were well presented and seasoned. However it was a bit pricey in my opinion. Friendly staffs and quick service. Recommend for people who want a new experience.

I ordered for pickup and it was ready on time! I got the garlic noodle, bulgogi banh mi, popcorn chicken and the cajun fries! The green sauce is unique and tasty. Great food and great price. My least favorite is the bulgogi banh mi because the bread is pretty think and plain. Also, I think they could have used less seasoning and salt on the cajun fries! Too salty on some fries when not even seasoned.Would definitely come back to try other dishes!

Absolutely slaps. Every item on the menu. The garlic noodles are insane though. I traveled to the area for work and ordered from here every day during my trip, and this is now my spot when I come back!

Prices were pretty good for what the food was, however compared to most places Ive been that sell similar foods, this place feels a bit below average. Again, the food is pretty good for the pricing

Went here during soft opening. Good quality food, great drink selection and a nice presentation. We came in with a party of 7. We ordered sliders, baguette, and garlic noodles all with Bulgogi. This is my new favorite Asian fusion places. Will definitely come back and try other menu items.

Cajun fries are really tasty, good mix of crunchy and flavor. Short rib rice bowl was to die for! Vibes were immaculate, love the music. Viet coffee was a little bitter but was really good for a coffee lover like me. The peach lychee green tea was also really good!

Soft opening. Self service - ordered from computer, picked up from counter (quickly prepared). Filled our own drinks. Cleared our own table. Unique garlic noodles. Sandwich was stuffed (not skimpy). Crawfish pasta-- Spicy noodles with crawfish was delicious. Blueberry tea was refreshing. Would go back to try other items.

First time eating here and I would say its way over rated. I saw the pictures on the internet and looked really good so I figured I would give it a try. I got the Garlic noodles bulgogi. I saw someone posted a review saying there was too much garlic in this dish. I loveeeee garlic so I was like okay there is no such thing as too much garlic. Boy was I wrong.... wayyyyyy to much garlic. Its not even a good garlic flavor. It tastes like the garlic you get from Walmart that is Pre-minced in a jar. It really takes away from the dish. Super disappointed wont be returning
