In Short
Unlike many of the casual pho noodle eateries in the city, this upscale restaurant takes authentic Vietnamese cuisine to a higher level with specialties like creamy basil fish, smoked oyster omelette and 360-degree beef, a melt-in-your-mouth delicacy featuring seasoned chunks of filet mignon. Helpful servers dressed in traditional long gowns help patrons navigate the lengthy menu, while gleaming hardwood floors, crisp white linens and a soothing Buddha fountain help set a mood of subtle elegance. Spring rolls and sugarcane shrimp are the star appetizers, while tableside dishes like Saigon fondue and beef a la grille are perennial crowd-pleasers.
