Since we are seniors, we'd prefer the noise level be turned down on our next visit, or a quieter table in another part of the restaurant. Too loud!!!!!

The chicken and waffles are a must get. The cauliflower was slightly meh, tasted fine but nothing particularly "viet-cajun" about it imo. Dining room was a bit loud.

Fantastic first visit, will try very hard to come back soon (live about an hour away). Every bit of food hit the right note, chicken was crispy, hot and perfectly seasoned, drinks were varied and well made. Mac and cheese with brisket is a must ! Service was extremely courteous and attentive.

My work family and I came here for our last night in Boston! And what a great experience we had! From the time we arrived and walked into the awesome ambiance to our server Edward (who provided great service with a smile) to the waitresses that brought out our decadent and delicious food! Like EVERYTHING was so tasty! The drinks were not only beautiful, but super delish! Thank you for the experience! We will be back!
