We knew this was going to be a good meal but the restaurant turned out to be better than what we expected on every level- the food was spectacular, the service was sweet and our server anticipated our needs to make us as comfortable as possible, the ambiance was cozy and encouraged gorging. So glad we went!

This is one of the best restaurants, that I have eaten on six continents. And nearly 150 countries - Chef Tran is currently The Bear. The simplicity of steamed pork dumplings- for a tear to my eye -for I marveled in their delicately deliciousness The pancake with Beef牛肉捲餅; Sliced Pork with Spicy Garlic Sauce蒜泥自肉 are sumptuous and complex - their structure amazing - their lingering, mint, cucumber, parsley - unforgettable. I fell in love with Chef’s Nuleigu This restaurant is a charm and should be cherished.
