" My visit to Garlic and Chives was pleasant enough. The restaurant has a very homey feel which I appreciated. The food was tasty but there was a lack of deep flavors in my pho dish that I usually expect from Vietnamese cuisine. The service team was friendly, though a bit slow during the rush hour. I would nonetheless recommend it for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Garlic and Chives is certainly a cozy spot, but my recent visit was not as magical as I had hoped. There was a potential for great flavors, yet some of the dishes fell flat in execution. The sizzling dishes were delightful, but the service could use improvement as it felt a tad chaotic. I would give it another chance but with moderated expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was decent overall, but I felt the food quality fluctuated. Some of the dishes were flavorful, yet others seemed average. I particularly liked the garlic fried rice and grilled items, while the noodles left a lot to be desired. The waiting time for a table was longer than expected, but the staff remained friendly. " (*Curated Review*)

" We stumbled upon Garlic and Chives and couldn’t have been happier with our impromptu dining choice! The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between casual and sophisticated. The menu offers a great mix of traditional and contemporary dishes. Our favorites were the fried shrimp chips and the clay pot specialties. Great service rounded off our wonderful meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" My first impression was that this restaurant was not what I expected. The ambiance was nice, but my meal was nothing but average. The flavors didn't resonate well, and while I couldn’t fault the presentation, I'd likely choose another place in the future. A little disappointed given the hype surrounding Garlic and Chives.

" I am so impressed with Garlic and Chives! The food was phenomenal, easily some of the best Vietnamese I’ve had in years. Every dish brought something unique, especially the special chicken offerings which were incredibly juicy. The service was friendly and prompt, and the place itself had a great atmosphere. It’s a place I will definitely return to without a doubt! " (*Curated Review*)

" Deliciousness awaits at Garlic and Chives! The variety is impressive, and the dishes are vibrant with flavor. I particularly loved their twist on the traditional spring rolls, which brought new life to the familiar. Pricing might be on the higher side for some, but the quality compensates well. Overall, a pleasurable experience with attentive service made for a lovely evening dinner. " (*Curated Review*)
