" Went to NEP Cafe last week and the experience was great! I loved their modern take on Vietnamese food—especially the creative menu items. The service was on point and we were seated right away. However, we noticed some noise while dining that could be an issue for quieter meals. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" NEP Cafe offers a trendy atmosphere with great menu options. The seafood ceviche was incredibly fresh, and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite! The service was attentive as well. It’s worth noting that it gets quite loud here during peak hours, which might take away from the overall experience for some diners. Nonetheless, I left satisfied and would recommend!

" Had the chance to try NEP Cafe last week, and it was a delight! The highlight for me was the ube iced coffee, which was absolutely divine. I also tried the bone marrow pasta, and it lent an interesting twist to the meal. The space was beautifully designed but quite packed, leading to a noisy environment. Service was slick and fast, with knowledgeable staff. Definitely worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an exceptional brunch at NEP Cafe last weekend with my friends! The menu was impressive, showcasing an enticing combination of flavors. The service was super quick and friendly, which was commendable. However, I did find some dishes a bit on the smaller side for the price. Besides that, it was a fantastic outing, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited NEP Cafe and was quite impressed with their creativity! The flavors used were dynamic, especially in the Beef Tongue Fried Rice and Tom Kha. The space was bright and accommodating. The only downside was that my dish arrived a bit later than expected. Still, the staff were attentive. I will be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" NEP Cafe is an excellent spot for anyone who loves fusion cuisine. The dishes are innovative and bursting with flavor. I tried their Garlic Noodles, and they were fantastic! The service exceeded my expectations as the staff was quick and friendly. Just be aware that it can get a bit noisy during busy hours. Still, I’ll be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely place to try if you're in the mood for fusion! The modern décor and vibrant atmosphere set the tone for the night at NEP Cafe. The beef carpaccio was delightful and the flavors were refreshing. I felt the portion was satisfactory, but some dishes could benefit from more seasoning. Overall, a solid restaurant that I'd recommend to others! " (*Curated Review*)
