" If you're a fan of Vietnamese cuisine, you need to try this place. They serve a wonderful bun cha that is cooked to perfection. The dining area was well-kept, and even though it was busy, our server was attentive. I’m glad to have found such a gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yum! The goi cuon I had here was absolutely refreshing. The wrap was filled generously with shrimp and veggies and the peanut sauce was delightful. The ambiance makes you feel instantly relaxed, though the service was a bit slower than I would have liked. Still, I look forward to coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered takeout for dinner and was impressed with the quality. The packaging was done meticulously, and I could tell they care about their food. The grilled pork and rice were delicious. The only downside was I had to wait longer for the food than expected. Nevertheless, the flavors made it worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went with my family for breakfast and we were all impressed! The egg coffee was rich and satisfying while the pho was everything you'd want it to be - aromatic with fresh herbs. The place was clean and had a great vibe. Service was quick despite being busy. I recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic Vietnamese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been here multiple times and the consistency in their pho is what keeps me coming back. The flavors are robust and the ingredients are always fresh. The staff may not always remember small details, but they’re friendly and accommodating. A solid spot for Vietnamese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a lover of Vietnamese food, I must say Essence is a wonderful destination! The portions are fair for the price, and the ingredients taste fresh. I had the pork ribs and they were seasoned perfectly. This is definitely a restaurant I recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was a beautiful evening, and we enjoyed sitting on the patio. I tried the beef wagyu and while it was good, it lacked the rich flavor I was expecting. Nonetheless, the ambiance and service made for a nice outing. It absolutely fits the casual dining vibe and is worth a try for someone unfamiliar with Vietnamese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
