" Gao Viet Kitchen has a variety of dishes, and I think they do some things well. However, I found the fusion twist to some of the classic dishes a bit off.

" I was excited to try Gao Viet Kitchen based on all the buzz, and I was not disappointed! The bun bo hue was comforting, though I think it could be a bit spicier. The portion size was enough to share, but I didn't want to. The service was quick, making it a great option for lunch. Will be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)
