Not your typical Vietnamese restaurant. Really more of an upscale Vietnamese restaurant. Beautiful dining area with a direct view of the kitchen. One, large dining area separated with a decorated divider, sushi style counter as well. We made reservations for lunch and were glad we did. Very busy at noon on a Wednesday. Paul, our initial server greeted us quickly. Fully explained any menu questions we had and agreed to check with the chef on a custom order I had in mind. Food presentation is very good, beautifully created and just as tasty. If you are not a spice fan, as your server about your desired dish. I wanted the Seafood Tom Kha Pasta as it looked like it would be mild. Luckily Paul let me know it's about a 5 or 6 out of 10 on the spicy chart. Well, that's 3 or 4 numbers higher than I enjoy. So I asked if they could make it with the garlic noodle 🍜 "sauce". He inquired and they did. It was great, probably one of the favorite dishes as our table. We ordered two appetizers and three entrées and shared. The crispy pork rice bowl 🍚 was good, the filet Mignon was good, and the crab 🦀 toast was good. The calamari was just okay... It's not on the menu but they have Coca-Cola products available. Definitely worth a try. Hope you can bring a few people with you and share the dishes. Enjoy!

I stopped by here to grab quick small bites before attending an event. WOW, everything was so good, I'll be sure to return with my full appetite. I ordered 2 things - Squid & Mango Salad and Crispy Calamari. I am a huge fan of Asian food, as well as Asian fusion. This place, as well as all Kei Concept restaurants, embodies what Asian fusion should be. The Squid & Mango Salad was sooo yummy and fresh. It had a lot of flavors happening at the same time - sweet, savory, and spicy (but not too spicy)! Though the calamari was yummy on its own, the SAUCE that it came with was out of this world. It had a hint of lemongrass in it; I've never had anything like it before. The sauce alone is just the perfect example of what Asian fusion food should be. I'll be sure to return and order much more of their food. I have no doubt everything else is just as tasty as the two dishes I ordered. The service was fine. The setting itself is very modern and hip, yet still classy and open.

we had a really delicious meal, modern vietnamese. we recently came back from vietnam, so when we saw egg coffee on the menu, we had to try it and it did not disappoint! we ordered it both hot and iced. i personally preferred it hot, but my friends were team iced. we also ordered their “skillets” though they’re not listed that way on the menu. we had to ask and figure it out but the banh mi chao was definitely worth it. rich, flavorful, and something a little different.

My first Kei Concepts experience! Word on the street is that they all have the same happy hour hack — show up at 4:45, order their entire happy hour menu for a fraction of the price, but still get the SAME! PHENOMENAL! FOOD! even at the same portion. We got 5 dishes for $60 before tip and it fed four of us pretty well, although YMMV depending on your party’s appetite. Garlic noodles had the perfect Q texture with jumbo juicy charred shrimp. Seafood ceviche was tender and slightly acidic with a hint of coconut. Xoi man isn’t porky at all with amazing Chinese sausage, although the sticky rice is a little heavier. The baguette in the banh mi chao is UNREAL; perfectly soft and fluffy, and we considered getting another one on the side. We finished with a banana bread pudding, which is fantastically complex with crunch, fluff, bitterness, and nuttiness all in one package. It was on the sweeter side but the perfect end to a delicious dinner! The inside is so elegant, and our servers were amazing in making sure we could take advantage of the happy hour!

Delicious brunch and dinner with top-tier service that reflects the high standards of Kei Concepts. The food is rich and flavorful, everything melts in your mouth. Each dish has multiple flavors packed into it. The staff regularly refilled our waters and checked on us. The brunch ambience is comfortable and filled with natural sunlight. The dinner atmosphere is warmly lit with modern and sleek details. I haven’t tried happy hour yet, but after my amazing brunch and dinner visits, it’s on my to try list. Brunch was my most recent visit which is what I’ll focus on. 🍳Brunch Food🥖: -Banh Mi Chao with Beef Belly: delicious, the meat is juicy and flavorful, perfect sunny side eggs -Crispy Pork Rice Bowl: crispy and tender at the right spots, vegetables complimented the dish nicely -Crab Toast: how do they make something as simple as scrambled eggs taste so good, the crab and scrambled eggs tasted amazing together, smooth, rich

This place was INCREDIBLE! Forty minute wait but I would’ve waited longer the food and service was THAT GOOD. I had the egg coffee boyfriend had the sea salt Vietnamese coffee. Crab toast was phenomenal, bf and I wish we got the crab instead of the shrimp with the garlic noodles however that’s not to say it wasn’t delicious.

Finally came when we ran an errand nearby. A tasty start from the drinks (I got Thai Princess and my friend got a latte), we were already impressed. We got the crab toast (will have to get again next time...So yummy!), seafood pasta (clever blends of taste elements), and garlic noodle. The mango sticky rice was a bit sweet to me. Our waiter was friendly and helpful. They switched our table to a bigger one to accommodate all the dishes.

Delicious and well presented. Ordered garlic shrimp, salad, grilled chicken , fried rice and sticky rice mango for dessert. Everything is well prepared and tastes good. Except for Sticky rice mango a bit sour and hard texture but still good. Must try and super love this egg coffee, perfect with dessert ! Nice atmosphere and prompt service.

Finally checked NEP off our bucket list, and this Vietnamese fusion spot did not disappoint! We started with the Vietnamese Shrimp Salad, which was incredibly crisp and vibrant; the cabbage and fish sauce dressing provided a perfect acidic snap. ​For mains, the Seafood Tom Kha Pasta was a brilliant East-meets-West execution—the creamy, aromatic flavors of the sauce coated the linguine beautifully. However, the absolute star was the Beef Belly Banh Mi Chao. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender and paired perfectly with the richness of the sunny-side-up eggs, pork roll, and charred tomatoes. Scooping everything up with the crusty French bread made for a truly dynamic bite. ​We finished with the Mango Sticky Rice, which was solid and traditional, though it didn’t quite reach the creative heights of the savory dishes. Overall, a must-visit for elevated fusion!

I've been wanting to try this place forever, so I was excited to finally make it out this weekend when I was visiting. The atmosphere: There's a good amount of patio and indoor seating, but brunch gets busy. I'd recommend making a reservation, and if you can, aim for an earlier time for better seating and wait times. The food: We started with the Seafood Ceviche and the Crab Toast. Both were a little pricey for the portion size, but were really tasty and easy to share. I ordered the Banh Mi Chao with filet mignon, and the meat was super tender and marinated perfectly. The tomatoes added a nice fresh bite. The Xoi Chien was also delicious. I had never seen it prepared that way before. I loved how crispy the rice was, especially paired with savory toppings like Chinese sausage and pork floss. Side note, I'm obsessed with the Coconut Ube Coffee. I could drink that all day. I'd love to see them add a pandan cream option too because that would be an amazing combo. The service: Our server was great. I can't remember her name, but she was attentive, patient, and genuinely made my party's experience better. Good vibes all around!
