I'm a big fan of Pho and always looking for the next bowl of noodles and flavor…read more Entering this place was a bit confusing and no one was there to greet us. We finally approached the bartender and asked if we were to seat ourselves. They hesitated for a moment and called someone to come help us. We continued waiting another few minutes and a server came and put our name on the list. Though the restaurant was about 30% seated we waited about 20 minutes. We were sat and our server told us it'd be a minute longer before she could get to us. We sat at the table closest to the open air kitchen. Server showed up after us waiting another 5 minutes. We ordered and the food came up quickly and everything looked and smelled amazing. The gyoza came out hot and very flavorful. The pho looked better than it tasted, it was bland though the vegetables and proteins were cooked good. The flavor was more like a broth, it lacked substance, umami and depth as I expected. The prices are a bit high, the environment was bright and loud, definitely not a place for that first date. But great place if you and your friends are wanting to sit and talk loudly to each other. Overall not the best but a good place to take someone who's not expecting real traditional flavors.

We ordered potstickers, California rolls, and tempura (not sure what everyone else had), but across the board, no one liked their food. Everything either tasted off or was overcooked. The service didn't help much either. Our server was slow and didn't seem very happy to be there. Her belly was literally hanging out of her shirt! The uniforms were so odd, wouldn't expect spandex outfits for those menu prices. . Parking was another headache. We drove in circles for about 10 minutes trying to find a spot.

The sushi chefs especially are really dedicated to their craft, and I've had sushi from Cali but this taste better imo because I know it was made with care. They make any accommodations you need and really care about their regulars and new customers alike! Being a regular here is such a worthwhile experience, Sake was definitely like a second home!
