I love Quan! I usually go in and say, "Just do whatever you want" and my hair always comes out amazing! The style is always fresh and it's something I would never try on my own. Every cut is flattering. His aesthetic is very modern.
I've recommended him to all my friends, and they love him as well. He pretty much cuts my entire family's hair, aunts, uncles, brother, cousins, and dad.
He is highly recommended! I have over a dozen references to prove it!
The food was delicious!
The French Food: My favorite was the House Cut Truffle Pasta. Yum! It was literally covered in black truffle shavings. We also had the Steak, which was cooked perfectly on the rare side. It was super tender and had some tasty marbling. And who doesn't love some Fried Stuffed Squash Blossoms. I loved the hot gooey cheese in the middle. The Foie Gras terrine melted in my mouth and had a terrific creamy smooth texture.
The Sushi: I told the sushi chef, Hiro, that I couldn't eat any raw meat right now, so he made me a California Roll with real crab! That was a first. I've never had it with crab, only the pollock stuff you get at the market. I sat in envy as my husband enjoyed sweet Kumamoto oysters, uni, and toro.
The Dessert: I simply asked for some ice cream and fruit, but out came an unbelievable spread! First, a pretty plate with 3 scoops of ice cream came out, chocolate, caramel, and brown bread. All equally decadent and delicious. The chocolate tasted like frozen fudge and the brown bread had little pieces of what I'd compare to sweet croutons. This is possibly the best ice cream I've ever had. As if that wasn't enough, out came two beautiful fruit plates. The plums were so sweet and the apple was carved into this crazy fan. I'll have to upload picture of it.
The Alcohol: They officially got their liquor license two days ago. Yay!
Can't wait to go back and have some more Truffle Pasta and Ice Cream! Oh, and the prices are pretty reasonable! Most of their plates are under $20.

I'd recommend him to anyone!
I personally don't go out to eat noodles much, because I think we can make it better at home, but Nha Trang is definitely an exception! Hopefully they'll have what I want next time!

Yum! My boyfriend and I had a little date here on Friday. We knew the food was going to be good, but this place exceeded our expectations. We spent sometime researching some food blogs before we went and had an idea of the quality of the food.
We went in expecting the flavors to be a little gentler because of previous yelper's complaints about blandness. This was not the case at all. It was perfectly seasoned, and if anything, it leaned slightly on the saltier side.
We were shocked at the prices. We orderded 14 dishes and a bottle of soju. Our bill was $140. This was also the case of our eyes being hungrier than our stomachs.
I was a little disappointed about the half raw egg and roe. Ours came out overcooked. Poo! We haven't given up on it yet though, since so many people enjoy it. We'll definitely come back and try it again. Maybe it was just an off night.
Here's our list of favorites:
Tomato Oden - I thought it tasted better if you smashed the tomato into the soup.
Fish Cake Oden
Beef Tongue
Cartilege - They save a hint of meat on the pieces adding lots of flavor.
Chicken Butt - I've never had it before. After I ate a piece, I turned to my boyfriend and said, "Guess what? I like chicken butt!"
Chicken w/ Roe - It was mentaiko, one of my favorite foods because it's naturally spicy roe! The chicken was so tender, that it flaked off like fish.
Gizzard - This is my bf's favorite food. He says it was the plumpest he's ever had.
Green Tea Mousse - It was good minus the mochi balls. The surprise was when we dipped our spoons in and found a layer of white mousse under the green tea sauce.
We can't wait to go back!
The beef sous vide for 2 days was melt in your mouth, skip using the knife. I loved the crispy rice cake it came with. The brussels sprouts were a-mazing! Every dish was a surprise, but still held on to traditional Asian flavors. I especially liked the curry noodles which taste similar to what I make at home, except theirs had more zing. Beef tartar reminded me of Vietnamese food because of the fresh herbs, so good. The whole steamed fish was sprinkled with fresh mint! Loved it! Even better was the garlicky spinach underneath. They did leave a few handful of scales on the fish though, which we had to maneuver around, a little disappointing, but it was so tasty that we didn't mind. Maybe they figured their clientele wouldn't eat the cheeks and neck of the fish, but we acted like we were at a Chinese restaurant and went straight for the head. Oh, and the stuffed squid was deliciously flavorful too!
Decor is beautiful and modern with a hint of Asian inspiration, nothing cheesy.
Overall, the dishes tasted like home, but with a punch. I give Lukshon 5 stars for cooking up the best Asian Fusion we've ever had!

The Naan was really the best Naan I ever ate. The Nauratan Qorma was really the best Qorma I ever ate.
This place made my husband finally believe that vegetarian food can taste good!
