It's a nice clean restaurant with table cloths see photo.

Service was excellent

They were squeezing oranges when we ordered fresh squeezed oj

We had pho with well done beef 4 stars. The noodles were not fresh but made from dried noodles the broth was above average with its own flair

I had grilled beef plate 4.5 stars nicely marinated with lemon grass & etc

The fried calamari was salt & pepper style though made with bell pepper instead of fresh jalapenos 4.5 stars

J'ai adoré manger. Notre serveur était très aimable & toujours aux petits soins. J'y suis allée avec ma famille ; ils ont pris le combo Général Tao & mon mari & moi avons tous les deux opté pour la soupe Pho (soupe tonkinoise). C'était une expérience absolument incroyable & j'y retournerais avec plaisir ! Je recommande vivement ce restaurant aux amateurs de cuisine asiatique.

We went to Gaia Restaurant yesterday for our Christmas party, & it was a wonderful experience. We were a group of over 20 people, & the restaurant arranged a small private room for us, which gave us great privacy & made the evening even more enjoyable.

Although I didn't take photos of the food we ordered, everything was beyond expectations-absolutely delicious. I honestly didn't know Gaia had such an excellent Vietnamese menu. We ordered several appetizers & every single one was outstanding. The fried soft-shell crabs were perfectly crispy, the beef sashimi is a must-try, & the fried chicken wings with sweet & sour sauce were incredibly tasty.

Everything-from the food to the service-was just perfect. The staff were friendly, attentive, & the prices are very reasonable for the quality. Highly recommended for group gatherings & special occasions!

Amazing pho, just what I needed on a cold winter day. I got the vegetarian one & it was packed with good vegetables. The size is pretty big as well & was perfect. Already looking forward to coming back !
