This is probably the most ""upscale"" feeling Vietnamese restaurant I've been to in Manhattan. The decor was beautiful (somewhat cheesey perhaps but very clean). The lighting was very dim, making it good for romantic dinners for couples. We were there on the Sunday before Labor Day, so it was very quiet - don't know how croweded this place can get. The appetizers were tastey but very small. The entrees were good: I had the pork chops, which were pan fried instead of grilled, giving it a different taste, and my friend a delicious sea bass stew served in a clay pot. Dinner for two was expensive compared to other Vietnamese restaurants, but I guess you're paying for the ambience.
