paul tumaliuan This place is, Im gonna say it, the BEST Vietnamese restaurant in Modesto and one of the best restaurants overall. We first came after the Modesto Marathon and we were all pleasantly surprised by the overall taste, portion size, and price. We came here again when we visited Modesto for our parents birthdays. Their pho is, even though we only ordered medium, a large enough portion for my wife and I. We also shared the Vermicelli with grilled chicken and wasnt able to finish either of the dishes. This time I ordered Vermicelli with Grilled beef #39 and my wife ordered Fine Vermicelli with Grilled Chicken #44A. The meats were all perfectly seasoned and tender. My wife keeps talking about how delicious her dish was even the day after. The price for the 6 of us was around $100, how amazing is that? Quality and quantity at an amazing price. Now to give you some perspective, I grew up in Modesto, but we have lived in LA for the past 13 years now. We both agree that this is better than the Vietnamese restaurants weve had in Southern California, and we have had quite a few. Its that good. Its my parents new favorite go to restaurant and even my brothers, who have a deep resentment of all things Modesto, really enjoyed it. If you read through my review, do yourself a favor and just eat here. You wont regret it.

Sharisa Elder The daytime atmosphere was very comfortable, greeting as soon as I walked in. Friendly and helpful explaining their menu. The night club was lit!! Drinks were strong the music was diverse and drama was minimal handled very quickly. I had a great time! Would definitely come back. I didn’t get a chance to try the food this time but they do serve limited food items all night

JLamp Dazme Im so happy to find this gem! After Waffle Shop was bought out, Ive been looking for a replacement. This is it! Great, fresh food, and friendly service. Loved that my diced ham and scrambled eggs came with biscuits and gravy....well worth the cost $13.99.

Doug Maner This is a small Italian restaurant run by a husband and wife team. They are very attentive to their diners, everyone gets some attention from them, they are very hands on. The food is Southern Italian and is prepared in a open kitchen with bar seating opposite so you can watch the awesomeness happen. The food is very well prepared, reasonably priced, and has legitimate portions. You wont walk away hungry!

Vircury C Nice open area with a bar. Food was good too and good selection. . Ordered a Margarita pizza, salad and garlic totes with Guava AND Mango Margarita for the drinks. Lol. Both were good. But my favorite was the Guava. I dont bring my dogs to resturaunts usually but I seen they have outside seating for people with pets which is nice for those that do happen to.

Ashley Harris The owner, Yeci, and her amazing team never fail to impress. They are so friendly and want to make sure everything you order is perfect for you! We dine in often, but this weekend ordered a taco bar style of catering for a party. The food was SO good, came with everything we needed and more plus amazing portions! They offered to bring it to the party for us even! I will definitely use them for catering again in the future!

T. Tnez We stayed at The DoubleTree by Hilton for a night. Picked this hotel bc it had a restaurant, gym and a connecting spa. The food was great. We had dinner and then their breakfast. Staff were very nice and attentive. Plenty of comfortable seating. They provide a very nice spread for the breakfast with lots of options. There’s a sizable side room for more private gatherings. Very happy we stayed here. We would definitely come back.

Bridget Martinez This was my first time here! Before I even went inside I told my friend "this place feels like its a hidden gem" and it is. I had the burger that comes with bleu cheese and garlic aioli. I ordered it medium well and it was the perfect burger. Juicy, meaty, cheesy, flavorful, and a good textured bun. And their decorations are so pretty and cool! I was impressed, cant wait to go back!

Samuel Arellano As of 6/21/24 they still dont have a liquor license. With that said, the service was great. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean and I really liked the vibe and theme. The food was delicious. I ordered two carne asada tacos and despite not being able to order a beer they were totally on point. The meat was juicy and tender, the salsa was good, and the tortilla was delicious. The grilled jalapeño and onions were a delicious bonus. I will definitely go back.

Jason Becht Great local spot with a clean bar, solid beer list, and hearty food (the French Dip with au jus was on point). The vibe here is laid-back but can light up quick once the jukebox gets going — everyone’s singing, smiling, and having a good time. Nelson, the owner, is a genuinely cool and down-to-earth guy who makes sure everyone feels welcome. Definitely a place to make your regular stop.
