Still my favourite restaurant

I love going to this quiet spot for food and drinks. The staff check for vaccinations passport which makes me feel comfortable and safe. The servers are helpful in guiding you through both the menu and the drink selections. (Great restaurant for date night…). I...love the pho but I can’t get enough of the appetizers and deserts. Thanks for several great mealsMore

OVER RATED & EXPENSIVE FOR QUALITY of FOOD

I sent u my review … in fact you began your request for this rating with it . Pls use the words in my ORIGINAL REVIEW . As stated the meal we had was no more than a $48 value YET THE BILL WAS $66.00....More importantly, the fact the owner/server although pleasant ignored the fact I had barely touched the ‘curry tofu’ meal ( $19,00) and when asked if I wanted to take it away was told i did not, DIDNT query why! Both curry meals, one with shrimp & one with tofu were bland, the rice mushy & the tofu like chewing dried out leather. The BOK CHOY with Shitake mushroom flakes and slaw salad with p nuts were tasty and fairly priced.More

My sister and I ate here twice in the past week. The food is above average, the service is great.

Great food, adhered to all COVID protocols, felt safe and service was exceptional. Would highly recommend anything on the menu here. The cauliflower appetizer is amazing.

Delightful service, good food but where is the Cognac?

I have eaten here several times with friends. We always enjoy the atmosphere and especially the friendly and attentive service. Most of the items on the menu are great but during a recent visit we were disappointed with the Crispy Cauliflower Wings because the coating...stuck them all together which made eating them with the chopsticks impossible . Also, I thought the Viet-Yellow Curry Bowl's sauce was too thin and lacked flavour. And the last time my buddy and I dropped by to have a celebratory drink or two we were intent on having Cognac but had to settle for brandy because the bar wasn't stocked with Cognac. This should be fixed but hats off to Kelsey for making us a very tasty, original and refreshing cocktail to cap off our evening!More

Not our fav Phō.

A lovely restaurant with excellent service, however the phō was not up to our standards. My wife said 2, and I said 3. The broth could have more flavor, and lacked our preferred additions of tripe and tendon. The meat that was there was too...thick and very large.More

Yum Son never disappoints

Dropped in with an out of town friend for a nightcap after a very good dinner at Broken Hill, on Sunday September 5. We were hoping for a cognac ( which you may want to have in stock for future?) and we’re momentarily disappointed that...you didn’t have, but all was made well by bartender Kelsey. B&B’s we’re substituted, followed up by a special concoction of Kelsey’s design. Couldn’t have been better. And, Kelsey was on the spot, calling us a taxi to make sure we got home safely. As always, I was thoroughly impressed by atmosphere and service you continue to provide. Thanks again. Bob N. NelsonMore

Good fusion lunch spot

Ok, Im not a fan of viet food but honestly I enjoyed my meal quite a bit. I had the pork bao buns and got two. I was expecting a bit more for the price but the taste was real good. If you dont like...cilantro they will leave it off, otherwise there is quite a bit.More
