You'll have to look hard to find this Vietnamese gem hidden behind the Hollywood Video store. With soaring two-story matte steel partitions and Asian minimalist accents, the restaurant's stunning decor highlights the creativity of the fusion cuisine. The Ca Kho To (seasoned catfish baked in a clay pot) and the Vietnamese fajitas convert typically southern ingredients into Asian specialties.

Sip martinis with friends in the downstairs bar before moving upstairs to the sleek dining room. Traditional Vietnamese dishes have been deliciously tampered with to make up the non-traditional menu. Try the curry chicken served with crusty French bread. Diners are rarely disappointed with that or any other selection.
