COVID-19 update: bring your mask. Awesome service. Bring your Vietnamese friends and enjoy this cornucopia of delicious food! I highly recommend pairing peach soju with any snail, clam, or scallops dish. The cocktails were very strong. Not sure if that’s the norm but the Asian glow was real.

The food here is delicious! Authentic Vietnamese style seafood with a variety of stir fry, sizzling plate, and hot pot (which is what they're known for). The seafood hotpot was a great deal and the seafood was fresh! The king scallops are also a must try item. Savory yet fresh, with a balanced mix of tangy and sweet flavors. I'd definitely visit this place again. We went on a Monday night so there was no wait.

Excellent food! If you've never tried Vietnamese Seafood, this is the place to try them. If you have tried it, you know it's yummy! Great selection from hot pots to fresh seafood, noodles, and rice dishes. Coffee is delicious as well. The only reason for 4 stars, not 5, is because the service is not that great. Not terrible, but only one person is friendly and attentive, others looked as if they did not want to be there. I had to ask for water 3 times. But you know, some restaurants you go for the food not the friendly service. So definitely go for the food!

I can't find a reason to give lower than 5 stars. It's a great compact seafood restaurant. The wait time during peak hour is around 30 to t0 minutes. Regular time is 5 to 10 minutes. Prices are competitive. Food tastes great. I love the seasonal big shrimps thay only come a couple of times in within the year. Service is fast and staffs are friendly. Worth a long drive from Alhambra.

the food looks good and tastes great. but already sitting at a table and just getting served water took 15 minutes. it took another table to help flag down a server to take our order. more of a counter-less bar than a sit down restaurant. if you choose to eat here, please underatand hat you are walking in to. and be sure to buy an alcoholic drink to get better service and more attention

A bit disappointed. I've visited this restaurant 4 times in the past 3 years. The first 3 visits were great! Great food and service, what more can you ask for. Yesterday's visit was not as expected. The king scallops were way overcooked, dry and not as expected. We asked for a server, For the check and for dessert, his resonponce, "can you wait" with his arms crossed. Maybe it was bad timing visiting this restaurant or maybe the quality of food and service has declined. We will visit again and hopefully our scallops won't get overcooked, considering the cost is $21.95 (I believe) for 4 scallops and we ordered 2 sets and customer service had improved.

Came here again after two years and the experience was still great. Great service! Our waiter was super friendly.Caviar was fresh and delicious, perfectly cooked eggs Benedict with caviar, yummy smoked salmon and caviar on bagel. Our salad wasn't good but they were really nice about it and took it off the bill. They also gave us a box of sweets, every piece of chocolate was good.Can't wait to come here again!

My oh my what outstanding flavor. My son and I ate here the other evening and may have been the only non-Asian folks in the place but we are ready to go back. So "american" folks do not be intimidated by this place. It was outstanding. The food was the best we had during our week stay in the LAX area. The staff was very helpful suggesting things to us as most of this was new to us. The prawns were fabulous, the fried rice was amazing. We both loved this place. Just be prepared to wait in line. the place is small and crowed but worth the wait.

Pescatarians beware! This deceptively well presented seafood dishes are laced with pork broth and shavings ! Disappointing experience ! With all the oc (escargots) and so (scallops), they cannot concoct a seafood broth ?!?!!? Kudos to the server, though, who honestly let us know that all is not all seafood on their menu !

This is the best place to get authentic Vietnamese grill seafood. In Vietnam this is considered street food that goes really well with beer. I thought I would never have that experience here, until now. This is like my home food and whenever I eat here it is like soul food to me. I recommended all the grill shellfish. Especially the cheese scallops and cheese oyster, it is out of this world. Also try their peppercorn escargot and peppercorn razor clams. Dips those in OC&Lau personal fish sauce, and it is heaven. I absolutely recommended anyone to try this place!!!
