Solid spot for when you want food at a late hour but aren't trying to eat fast food. The service is really good. I can't remember his name, but our cashier was very friendly. I enjoyed sitting by the window because it was nice to look out at night and eat my chicken banh mi, definitely a good way to end a night after working.

Such an amazing spot for a quick meal. You really can't go wrong with any of their menu items. Every item is so flavorful. My favorite is the crawfish pasta, I substitute with rice because I'm allergic to wheat and it's still delicious! Nice and clean restaurant inside with open lighting and plenty of seats.

My bf and I come here every now & then, and every time we visit, we always leave satisfied. Parking: They're located in a small corner plaza with limited parking. You can probably get lucky with a spot because there's constant people coming in n out. Free parking lot. Ambiance/Environment: They have a shared space with Pur Bowls next door. Their side is also small with a decent amount of seating. It accommodates groups of all sizes. It can be a bit tight. Service: The cashier is very courteous, patient, and efficient. Throughput did take a while. We ordered 4 food items, and it took 16 min for us to receive our order. What we ordered: 1) NK Slider Burgers - These sliders were definitely flavorful. The grilled onions and mushrooms were delicious. The beef patties were also cooked well. 2) Cajun Garlic Fries - I paired this with the sliders. I felt there was a bit more garlic than Cajun seasoning. I still enjoyed the fries though I prefer the seasoning to be balanced. 3) Garlic Chicken Breast Sandwich - There was a generous amount of garlic cream sauce. I need to know what they put in this sauce bc it's like crack. The chicken was cooked well, and the baguette had a perfect crunch. 4) Bulgogi Steak Bowl - This was bigger and more filled than we thought. We appreciated the amount of meat. The sauce on the side gave it extra flavor. 5) Peach & Lychee Green Tea - I looove this drink! It's sooo refreshing! The lychee flavor definitely overpowers the peach, but I love lychee so it's okay lol! Pricing: Prices are decent $$ for the amount you get. I'd say it's worth it. We enjoyed everything and always leave fulfilled & satisfied!

My husband and I came here for lunch and we were so pleasantly surprised! This is a fast casual Vietnamese fusion spot and it is so delicious! We've actually came back several times and have tried basically the whole menu, everything we've tried has been solid. You order at the front and pick up your own food so not much in terms of service however the people up front have all been pleasant

Definitely a modern/fusion take on Vietnamese food. We were on the hunt for a banh mi around 9 on a Thursday near Irvine and this popped up. Glad they have such late hours as a lot of the other banh mi places were closed. We got the grilled chicken banh mi. All the flavors inside the sandwich were good. Chicken was well seasoned (love the lemongrass!) and tender. The veggies were plentiful, fresh and had a little crunch. The only let down was the bread. VERY soft and no crust or crunch at all. And they put it in a circular tin for takeaway orders which holds condensation as well. It's counter service so you order at the register, they give you a number and you wait for them to call your name. We waited about 10 minutes and we could see them making the sandwiches fresh.

This place is amazing and everything is so fresh, something I would expect from a restaurant not a little spot like this. The shrimp was fresh the chicken juicy, the beef tender and the bread for the Bahmi sandwiches fresh and crusty. Everything was perfect, came in with a party of 15 and everything came out at a reasonable time. Staff was friendly and the whole experience was perfect. I love that the whole restaurant was clean including the restrooms. So many times you come to a place and the tables are sticky, but not here. We will be back, thank you for a great experience.

ORDER bulgogi banh mi (4/5) crawfish pasta (4.5/5) my favorite thing here is the crawfish pasta! it's flavorful and they don't skimp on the crawfish. this time around i also tried the bulgogi banh mi, which was also flavorful. the banh mi didn't taste fresh. SERVICE quick and friendly service. AMBIANCE parking is extremely limited and so are the seats inside.
