"We actually found this by looking for high rate Asian close to OTR. How did we not know about this place. Opened about a year ago from the neighbors next door (Lalo), this place is a hidden gem. We ordered the skewers (one each) of the chicken, the chino tacos, the tornado potatoes and the banh mi with cucumber salad. Very plate was delicious. Something we really appreciated were the sauces. My family has been to Vietnam multiple times and that’s something we loved when we were there. This place was a nice fusion with an emphasis on Vietnamese food. Delicious and we will be back for the Pho!"

"Updated 10/2/23: We ordered the skewers - they were so delish. I recommend to get the rice and cucumber salad for the sides. The pot stickers were also delish. Original post: We came for lunch. I didn't realize that's an Asian restaurant from the name. The service was great. We ordered seafood tempura, and potatoes skewer for appetizers. The chicken cutlet Japanese curry was delish. Overall was very good."

"One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in a long time. It’s like a hidden gem. The service was top notch, food was delicious, and drinks fantastic. Everything was just done to perfection. We had the skewers, fried eggplant, tornado fries, and the cucumber salad. The food was so good we ordered some to go and brought it home to the kids!"

"5 stars / the Best Crispy Chicken Katsu Cutlet I've ever had. Second visit I had perfect chicken skewers. They also serve burgers in addition to Japanese specialties. Their full bar includes draft beer (Sapporo was refreshing), sake and wine. Service was friendly and attentive. The decor is very nice, too. Note that they close 3-5pm between lunch and dinner."

"If you love to eat meat, I highly recommend this place. I came here for lunch with coworkers and it did not disappoint. As a starter, I ordered their popcorn chicken with the basil and salt seasoning, and it came with an alioli on the side. The chicken was seasoned so well that it didn't even need the dipping sauce, but was definitely elevated with the sauce. I also ordered the fried eggplant that had a light crispy outer layer. For my main entree, I ordered the chicken skewers: Satay, Lemongrass and the Cilantro/black peppers. All three were amazing. The servers were also attentive and quick. I definitely would recommend this to anyone and looking forward to eating here again."
