    The waiter we had was amazing. Very energetic and helpful as it was our first time there. He was very polite and friendly. He came back to check on us everything now and than to make sure we had everything and that the food was up to standard. He was positive and most definitely made our evening with how energetic he was. 10/10 would recommend. Also give that man a raise I didn’t catch his name at the end but he made our whole experience there an 11/10 if you ask me.
    Straight Outta SaigonResponded 4 days ago
    Sounds like you had an unforgettable experience Dudley! We love hearing that our team brings great energy and makes our guests feel welcome—it’s what we’re all about. We’ll definitely pass on your kind words (and that cheeky raise request!) to the superstar waiter who made your night. An 11/10 experience? We’ll take that! Can’t wait to have you back for another great evening soon.

    Good service. Timely and attentive. Really tasty food. Ambience was fine. Price I’d say was on the higher side of reasonable. But would definitely recommend and will return.
