Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine That Feels Like Home
I recently visited this restaurant with a friend who is originally from Vietnam, and we were both blown away by the authenticity and quality of the food. We started off with the Vietnamese pancake (Bánh Xèo) and I had a Vietnamese sandwich. Every dish was a hit—full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The service was top-notch, friendly, and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable.
We also ordered Hue Style Beef Soup (Bún Bò Huê) and Crab Soup with Thick Noodle, and each dish was exceptional. We were so impressed that we couldn't resist ordering more to take home for her family. My friend mentioned that the meal evoked fond memories of Vietnam and made her feel at home here in America. The restaurant even had some great vegetarian options for myself.
Highly recommend for anyone seeking authentic Vietnamese cuisine!

Hoban | Korean Restaurant
I recently visited Hoban | Korean Restaurant on a Wednesday afternoon around 3:30, right after my flight. I was looking for some good Korean food after landing from my flight from Boston and decided to give this place a try.
The quality of the food was okay. The dishes were not very flavorful, but the portions were large and filling. I ordered the sweet and sour shrimp, mushroom tempura, kimchi stew, and the kimchi pancakes. The food came out hot and was acceptable, just not something that impressed me.
The service was good and the staff was friendly. The atmosphere of the restaurant was a bit lacking and could benefit from a refresh.
The price was decent and I would say it was a fair value. Compared to other options in the city, I would say that if you are in a pinch, this place would work, but if you are looking for a better experience, there are other options.
Overall, I would recommend this place if you are looking for a decent place to eat some Korean food. I give it a rating of 4 out of 5.

Double Chin Modern Asian Restaurant
Visited Double Chin Modern Asian Restaurant recently and had a delightful time. We checked out the desserts and absolutely loved the ube cake - a distinct, vibrant, and palate-pleasing delight! The service was excellent, efficient, and friendly, adding to the overall dining experience.
This place is evidently popular, as judged by the constant influx of patrons, which we took as a strong testament to its quality and appeal. If you're looking for an engaging, culinary adventure filled with modern Asian flavors, Double Chin is undoubtedly a go-to spot. Don't forget to leave room for dessert - the ube cake is a must-try!

Cheng-Du Restaurant
I ordered lunch from Cheng-Du Restaurant for the first time and the food was good. We had the crab Rangoon, calamari, pork fried rice, tofu Pad Thai, and chicken teriyaki. The service was acceptable as well. It is a nice local option if you want Asian food.
