Rachel KSeptember 28, 2015Hey, are you an adult and want to pretend like you're on a tropical vacation while eating fancy Vietnamese food? Great! You can order a fancy piña colada here made with homemade coconut liqueur!
Ms HeleneAugust 11, 2018Freshly shucked oysters, seafood platter and inventive appetizers. Entrees, noodles and rice not memorable. Key lime mousse, coffee pudding and sorbets. Skip peanut butter beer float.

Emily WilsonFebruary 24, 2017The menu is large and built for sharing, so come with a group. Vibe is meh, but food is top notch. Highlights include the Thai basil margarita, oysters, chickpea curry, fried cauliflower, and laksa.
GQ MagazineMay 31, 2016Cassia serves chilled-seafood towers brimming with items like oysters, snow-crab claws, raw scallops paired with peas and ham, and giant prawns marinated in chile, garlic, and Vietnamese hot sauce. Read more
Odile RoujolDecember 29, 2016Hot restaurant. Hot food ! Try the rice with charcuterie. The sea bass. And don't skip appetizers...
Leah PetrMarch 20, 2018Best to worst: chickpea curry (!), pork tail, long beans, yams, sea bass, beef rendang, fried rice. Pretentious service but delicious food! Recognizable flavors with a twist. Worth it.
jennifer hanAugust 19, 2016the sesame noodles (opt for spicy and add crab, of course), black cod, and kaya toast...always! the escargot curry and naan if you're feeling like a fatty bon vivant.
Vivian DoanJune 19, 2015Loved their green papaya salad (the spiced walnuts give it a kick!) and clay oven bread with chickpea curry! Can't wait to go back again and enjoy their patio
Nidhi KayNovember 14, 2021Chickpea curry, spicy wontons, and sea bass was amazing, the dan dan noodles were bad thought it tasted super gummy and chewy and sweet, really couldn’t have more than one bite so don’t get that
Zack KantorNovember 25, 2017Food here is so amazing - loved everything we got, cold sesame noodles, cucumber salad, the steak, chicken, and dumplings
- Ms HeleneAugust 26, 2017Small seafood platter will feed more than 2 for $59. Chickpea curry with fresh naan. Skip laksa.
Ryan LeggettJanuary 24, 2020It’s all good. Go with a group and try everything. We really liked the chickpea curry, beef rendang, laksa, and the whole grilled sea bass.
Alice FondaAugust 26, 2018Wok-tossed Yard Beans & Avocado and Grilled Seabass should not be missed. We also really liked the ambiance, a must go place in SaMo🙌.- Mezcal El Silencio 🐇October 13, 2015Cocktail Suggestion: Exotic mezcal cocktail "Sunny Place"#MezcalElSilencioTequilaChina chinaSambal BittersKafir lime leaf tincture
- Lynne 🐰 QuApril 22, 2017Chilled shrimp, laksa, koh loh mee are my favorites. Nostalgic Singapore food with the Kaya toast.
Simple FoodieDecember 2, 2015Charcuterie Platter, Kaya Toast, Whole Grilled Sea Bass, Charcuterie Fried Rice, Chopped Escargot, Spicy Lamb is spicy.
chinaJune 28, 2015Delicious cocktails. Ask to be seated at the back bar for the best view of the wood-burning grill.
- Rem KoningJuly 4, 2015The escargot and naan is a must order. Lovely outdoor seating. Also meat plate is tasty and inventive.
John CassilloJuly 11, 2015Great cocktail menu and happy hour makes those pricy drinks well worth it. Hefty pours too.
Gordon LiuMay 17, 2016The Laksa is delicious and really authentic. If you like Gin, go for the Banana Mule :-)
AmandaJuly 8, 2015The jellyfish salad and kaya bread were awesome - everything else was also fabulous
Frost LiJanuary 17, 2020Pig tail and kaya toast are both really good. Asian inspired american restaurant
SteveJanuary 8, 2017We ordered around 12 plates and there wasn't a single dish that was subpar. Truly wonderful flavours and spice levels in everything.
MaxDecember 1, 2016Pigs tail and chickpea curry were highlights but overall great balance of flavors and spice.- Chris SayasOctober 28, 2018Get the Escargot and the Lobster (don’t forget to have some jasmine rice with the lobster to mix with the sauces)
White pepper crab and charcuterie fried rice are amazing
David SimonsMay 6, 2019If you want Asian food, no need to go here. This is at best American with some spices. And I got my entree in minutes - clear indication this was not made fresh. The decor is nice though.
