The pho and banh mi here are excellent, but regulars know that the house specialties (the goat curry) are where it's at. If you love calamari, their fried squid is on point. [Eater 38 Member]

The menu is classic New Orleans Creole (read: tourist-oriented) but dammit if that’s not some of the best shrimp remoulade in town. [Eater 38 Member]
