The food was top notch as well, very interesting fusion of flavor. The beef carpaccio and banh-xeo was our favorite.

The drinks, although served in smaller portions, were flavorful and satisfyingly strong.

The menu is so reasonable priced, so you can try lots of different items. The cocktails were also fantastic, as was the service.

It’s located underneath a restaurant so accessing it isn’t obvious, but it entirely adds to its charm.
