Even the salad was off, which surprised me. The nuoc mam was really bland and didn't bring anything together. It had lettuce and a lot of deep fried egg noodles and a lot of random other things that didn't go well together. that said, the space is super cute and aesthetically pleasing, and the owners were genuinely kind and helpful. they went out of their way to help our party of 10 pick dishes they thought we'd enjoy, which i really appreciated. i just left feeling ngán and pretty unsatisfied, which sucks because i had high hopes coming in. i feel bad saying this, but it honestly felt like a waste of money. i hope it was just an off day.

However, the food was just okay, and for the price point, didn't feel worth it. We ordered: Pad Thai- a little saucy and the noodles were a tad soggy Mango spring rolls- sounded interesting, but the flavors did not go well at all, especially with plain peanut sauce. I'd suggest a chilli sauce or something along those lines. Probably wouldn't return for food, but I'd definitely comeback back for a cute cocktail!

The tacos were also good - we tried the paneer and really liked the guacamole paneer combo. Portions were reasonable, especially if sharing a few dishes. Also tried the chai espresso martini, which was nice. The inside of the place is a bit upscale but also feels like a good place for a casual night out. Service is quick and attentive.

Our server was not really attentive and for the price we paid, we felt we deserved better service. Overall, our food was delicious. It came out warm and had delicious species that had a very distinguished taste. I had the Indian quesadilla and some naan with cheese in it. My wife had a soup and some other delicious stuff. The vibe inside is very modern, yet casual. You have to be an adult to enter. It is 21+ only. The bar is nice as well. The drinks were really good and they have great signature cocktails to choose from. Overall, aside from the bad service we received, I recommend this restaurant for good Indian fusion food.

The hybrid BBQ and hotpot concept is unique, and I would recommend it to first-time hot pot eaters. However, after eating there for Mother's Day, my family and I unfortunately experienced symptoms of food poisoning. I also thought the broth bowls were pretty small compared to other individual hot pot places I've been to. That said, the service was good, and the bar area was kept clean, the overall layout and interior is nice and well-maintained. Overall, it feels like a decent spot with some strong points, but with all of that considered, I personally wouldn't come back.

Still, nothing disappointing about it. What really caught my attention was what I didn't eat.

I suspect they are a family business with mom as the cook, plus a son and a daughter as servers, which was the case on a quiet Sunday. The son as the server was bubbly and amicable as I asked questions about popular and favorite dishes. The food is excellent and flavorful, with plenty of leftover foods. Parking is readily available along the streets. The Food and Drinks: Beef Loklak Rice Plate, $20 - 5 Stars This is a hardy dish with flavorful pieces of beef, a fried egg, fresh greens, rice, and a bowl of soup. This dish by itself is a substantial meal. With the sides dishes we ordered, half of this went home. Lort Cha or Fried Pin Noodles with prawns, $20 - 4.5 Stars Available protein is seafood or beef. I requested prawns only, which they accommodated. Served with a side of fish sauce in a squeeze bottle, the server said to apply all over the dish. He also said this is his favorite dish. The food has very good wok hei like a Hong Kong noodle dish. I had plenty of noodles left to make a second dinner after adding veggies and protein. Beef Skewers, $18 - 4.5 Stars Five good size skewers with a dallop of pickled veggies. The seasonings are very distinctive. Oddly, the flavor reminds me of some Chinese style beef jerky. In any case, these are smoky, savory, and yummy. Papaya Salad, $16 - 4.5 Stars They use all the real, authentic ingredients here, including bits of tiny baby crabs. Be careful if you have sensitive gums. Sugar Cane Juice, $7 - 3.5 Stars I would think sugar can juice are all quite similar, but they are not. I didn't like theirs as much for some reason. It was a bit murkier. I probably won't order this in the future. Coconut Coffee, $7 - 5 Stars Our server recommended this. Coconut and coffee sound weird together, but this drink is a winner. Very unique, a touch of sweet, potent like a Viet coffee, and very distinctive. Thumbs up. They are probably closer to 4.5 Stars. Rounding up to support a family business.

We got the Phnom Penh Kuy Tiew, Seafood Lort Cha, and Beef Skewers along with Sugar Cane Juice and Mango Smoothie. My Seafood Lort Cha was delicious. It was a bit oily but having it with the fish sauce combated it. The pin noodles were so much fun and bouncy to eat. The sugar cane juice was also refreshing and it was just freshly squeezed in front of us. My sister enjoyed her Phnom Penh Kuy Tiew, it had a rich pork broth similar to eating babaw. The Mango Smoothie probably wasn't as fresh though. I didn't taste it but my mom thought it wasn't. Lastly, the beef skewers. They were not as good and seemed a bit old tasting? The meat was a bit tough and the texture seemed off. I was satisfied with my dish though and might come back if I'm ever in the White Center area again to try their Nom Banh Chok Buffet.

I was originally going to order some musubi, but after seeing a curry dish, I couldn't resist. Curry Loco Moco Don ($16) - The chef first piles a mound of rice in the bowl. It seems to be higher quality short grain rice, giving great mouthfeel at first, but then biting into it, the overcooked mushy qualities emerge. The rice is sprinkled with a bit of furikake, adding a briny and savory flavor profile. Two beef patties are set on top, both with seemingly fake grill marks, perhaps indicative of commercial patties. They are homogeneous with a kind of spongy texture, pressed into a puck with a bunch of filler like Japanese hambagu. The beef is somewhat tender, but isn't soft enough to be cut through with a plastic fork. There's a fried egg on top, complete with runny yolk and even a small amount of runny white. They then ladle a couple of scoops of Japanese curry over the top. It's somewhat generic, probably a normal boxed curry mix with no embellishment, but it's cooked well. It has a nice thickness, isn't too thin or runny, lending a good curry flavor to the dish. I do with it came with a bit more curry since after eating about half the dish, it was all gone. Finally, some pickled ginger on top completes the dish. The curry is quite filling, probably close to 2 pounds of food. (4/5) Musubi Kai is a convenient and quick stop for a bite while downtown.
