Heard some great things about the food at this place-- a melding of Vietmamese, Thai. and Chinese, in a tropical ambience. Has anybody been here and have some pertinent comments to report? Thanks!

I haven't been there in a few years, but I remember it was tasty.

Quite uneven in the last two times we were there

Yes - it's good - eat there 2x a month or so. Don't get too adventurous - the chicken soup with coconut milk and chili oil is good - also grilled shrimp and chicken w/lemongrass. Pad Thai is Ok.

haven't been in years, but i put it in the same category as Rain: mediocre, uninspired, "asian-fusion." why settle for this when there are so many other options? cheaper options at that.

it's better than it used to be - and definitely better than rain (about which i totally agree)
