If you’re craving for some down to earth food Viet style steaks and hot plates this is the place. The Roti chicken is ?, it’s super crispy and tasty. They even have a sizzling halibut plate also. The red rice is a must with all the dishes. Don’t forget the fried eggs too. Hehe.

Upon walking in, you'll most likely get a whiff of the hot butter from the sizzling plates from diners. If they have their doors open, it's most likely due to the dining room being smokey from the plates. They offer a variety of meal options but I think they're mostly known for their sizzling plates and beef dishes.

Our group had the com bo luc lac (shaken beef with rice), com suon cuu nuong sot bo toi (lamb chops with garlic butter sauce and rice), and com ribeye sot bo toi (ribeye with garlic butter sauce and rice). Even though we ordered all dishes with the red rice, there were other options to choose such as white rice, fries or bread. I'm not exactly sure what's in the red rice to even describe it. I wasn't a big fan of the red rice but to all their own.

The lamb chops and ribeye were presented on a sizzling plate with a side salad with vinegarette dressing. Lamb chops were tender and ribeye lacked flavor. The star of the meal was the bo luc lac. It was also tender, shaken with plenty of sauce, and had chunks of garlic. It was absolutely delicious! The plate also had a side of watercress and onions that complimented the dish well. It was so good, our table had to order another. Portion-wise, I'd say it's a single serving. You may not want to share it with how delicious it is.

Service was great, too. Now, I saw another reviewer mention this, so I will too. Just FYI, their drinks are served in small styrofoam cups. They do charge $0.50 for water. It's not a deal breaker but I guess some people may not like it. I'm assuming it's the charge for the cup itself.

Comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff. The garlic butter filet mignon is by far the best (better than the pepper). The lamb chop was also well done. The gà rô ti sauce was good, although the chicken was a little dry. Overall very cozy and a good experience.

Nice family restaurant with the sizzling hot steak plates. It seems to be what they do best as everyone orders the sizzling steaks here. Parking lot is small so finding a space can get hard or try parking next door. The tomato fried rice that you get here with the dish is very good, much more flavorful than regular white rice like everywhere else around here.

Definitely go for the steak options , especially the Shaken Beef or the sizzling Ribeye steak plate! Shaken beef is very flavorful and you have the option of getting it with red rice, bread, or fries. We tried the lambchops as well- pretty good but a little small (which is usually how Lamb is served anyway , more for flavor rather than portion size, so no complaints here!)

My bf and I usually get the crispy bread with the Shaken beef so we can dunk it in the sauce seriously so good !

Great food and service at this restaurant. Try out fish plates.

Parking is not so ideal. Not too busy during lunch time. Kinda spacious and clean.
Menu is various. It has some fusion dishes.
I got some banh canh tom cua. The noodles were chewy enough and the shrimp balls has real shrimp. Very little crab meat. The soup is a bit too salty. But that's it. No sliced pork, whole shrimps or quail eggs. No vegetables on the side as well. I dont know if it supposed to be like that.
