The tom yum pasta. Coconut ceviche, egg rolls and peach tamarindo drink were delicious! The birria ramen lacked some flavor. I wouldn't order that again if I went back but would definitely try everything else on the menu!

Very tasty dishes from the kare curry to the phở. Previous reviews warned about small drink and meal portion sizes so I made sure to ask for easy ice in my ube horchata. Nonetheless, it was delicious, as was the egg coffee. To start, we ordered the spring rolls, which are cut into sushi sizes. I do hate when places do this because the food falls out easily and it ends up being less portions that if we’d ordered two spring rolls from a normal restaurant. The phở bowls overall were good portion sizes as a whole. However, they had a little less meat than we’re used to. For example, the meatballs weren’t cut into sushi sizes half like other places so it. They were cut into slivers. My meatball phở was yummy though. We also had the Anthony Bourdain special where the meat was tasty, but not plentiful. Price tag was $20, but I’d say it was worth maybe more like $17.50. All in all, this place gets full stars on food quality. Also full stars on service. I asked the server for easy ice on my horchata and she must’ve remembered that. Because when she refilled my water, she made sure to avoid getting ice into the glass. Very thoughtful because I have sensitive teeth! In terms of quantity I’d give it four stars. Atmosphere four stars. I liked the look. The alt indie music was meh, but boy were the booth seats uncomfortable. My bum hurt at the end and the plants kept poking me, and I’m short! Despite the little complaints I give this place 4 stars (would be more like 4.4 if I could be precise). We will come back again when we’re in the area next to try more dishes. Thank you for the great service!

Delicious Asian fusion restaurant in national city. I really like this restaurant because they mix together Filipino, Thai, Vietnamese food altogether. Such an innovative menu. They have tom Yum spaghetti, and kare kare curry. Just be aware of the parking because it’s in a notorious shopping center with not much parking. Definitely will be returning here again.
