I don't really think of it as a Vietnamese restaurant;
definitely fusion, IMHO.


Definitely. It's certainly not Vietnamese, and doesn't even pretend to
be. It has as much to do with being "afraid to go to a real Vietnamese
restaurant" as it does with being afraid to go to a real Japanese
restaurant. Although the chef/founder might be Vietnamese, the food
isn't and is a blend of several different styles. I very much like the
inventiveness of that kind of blending.
