Pho King was decent overall. The pho didn't come with the usual bean sprouts and basil, which we…read moremissed, but they did give hoisin, sriracha, and limes. We also tried the summer rolls. They only had two small shrimp pieces inside, but the peanut sauce was really good. I did like that the veggie + tofu pho felt light and satisfying, and it was nice to get a good amount of vegetables in it. One downside about the ambiance was that the towel they used to wipe the table had a bit of a smell. Not a bad spot if you're craving pho and some warm soup.

I like that the menu had English descriptions and Vietnamese name for the dishes so I can actually read the menu since it wasn't in Spanish. The place is quiet and spacious. I didn't care for my vermicelli noodles salad because I didn't know that they would be drowned in sauce. My daughter didn't care for fresh spring rolls with shrimp because they had put chilies inside with the pickled carrots. The only good entree was the pho, it was flavorful and the meat was tender.

The inside is cozy with low lighting. Their menu offer a variety of Asian cuisines from Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Thai, etc. We picked a few items to share: - Vietnamese-style beef carpaccio: a good citrus flavor in the sauce, topped with cashew. Overall good as an appetizer to start off with. - Shanxi noodles with tamarind and coconut chicken: this was our least favorite. The sauce in the noodles was very salty. I couldn't eat it after the first bite. - Tobiko rice: it had shrimp, roasted corn, spicy yuzu mayo, and tobiko. Pretty solid and nicely balance. - Sesame octopus: I like the mashed potatoes that came with it. Octopus had a lot of flavors and good texture. - Saigon style red snapper: wok fried red snapper. Crispy and the seasoning was good on the snapper. Pretty good with a nice citrus red cabbage salad that came with it. - "Chilango" (5 pan fried dumplings): their Mexico-city style dumplings. It had beef confit in the fillings. This was alright. Would prefer for it to be more crispy on the outside. We also tried their ice thai tea, beer, lemonade, and jasmine tea, however did not like the drinks. It felt a bit water-downed and too light. Service was friendly and quick. It wasn't too crowded during dinner time when we were there.

Thankfully, Sesame was open, and the menu was enticing enough for us to book a last-minute table and head over. It's a cute, Asian-style restaurant in Roma Norte. We were greeted right away and told to sit anywhere since it wasn't too busy. I ordered the pork belly bao buns from their popular choices menu and the squid as my entrée. There's just something about pork in Mexico- it's exponentially juicier and more flavorful. Yes, every bite was basically fat... but the best kind of fat. One bao is the perfect appetizer portion. The squid was pretty good too, though I learned that I'm not a fan of bonito flakes. They looked cool, as they were flaky and moving on top of the squid, but the flavor was a bit too fishy for me. Our waiters didn't speak much English, but we got by just fine with some pointing and smiles.

The sign said that they are open for both breakfast and lunch, and I'm glad that I made it a little bit early for breakfast. There were a lot of options on the menu. I decided on the one that was the easiest, juevos tocinos which I think means scrambled eggs. It included a side order of refried beans, and several tortillas. The eggs were good, but the beans were a little cold and there wasn't much. It always seems to be the case that they never want to dish out more than a sip of refried beans. The Server was pretty cool, and I didn't need to request the check this time. The ambiance is what it is, and I've grown to like the less fancier style and things more traditional around here.

Hidden, but not, in the back of the ground floor of Mercado Roma, then climbing the back stairs (not the stairs to the Beer Garden) you will finds a hidden but welcoming stretch of restaurant that is greeted my a musical stage. Perfect for venues of music and recreating what House Concerts were meant to be, this has much potential. I felt the atmosphere, the vibe, the fun was purely made by our group of individuals we knew, as well as the band who we knew and came for. I felt the band was cramped - the soundsystem was attended by an individual at all time but needed much better representation, and the selection of choices needed to be widened for customers at the bar and menu. While serving Vietnamese, the food is mediocre, the prices demanding more of the quality than is available, however the wait staff is on hand at a moment's notice with a large or small group. While needing to rise to the level of a quality music bar hotspot for sure, the experience with a well known performance, will take over these disadvantages, however, do not rely on this location to fulfill your appetite needs solely, the music can do that for sure.
