There are two parts, the bar and the restaurant. The bar serves a small menu of bar food which is not bad. It is the cheapest place in Palo Alto to get drinks and a snack.

Good & filling, broth had a silky smooth full bodied texture and great hearty flavor. Better than I expected, get there early before the rush.

The Vietnamese Iced Coffee and Thai Iced Tea are both great. Also, the Shaking Beef is the most tender I've eaten.

Don't order a mixed drink. The bartenders measure every little drop. And, the bloody marys taste like watered down tomato juice.

Men's bathroom door still not fixed, plus light went off while I was in there because someone forgot to switch out of auto-sense. Not fun

NOPE. Who the hell piles their dirty dishes on a back table, and serves an Anchor Steam in a Stella Artois chalice!?!? WHO?!? Never. Again.
