Okay, let me set expectations appropriately. This is a noodle bar - not a white-tablecloth dining establishment. Service is when you can get someone's attention, self-seating, a small number of booths, bar seats and a few upstairs tables, a carry-out window.
Nice hole in the wall, literally because you can get your food through the hole as pictured. Great to have variety since I’m not a beer and fries fan, which is every other food joint in Key West. Love the steamed buns in either pork belly or tofu, and the ramen with its delicious broth. Crab fried rice was also delectable, with a generous portion to share.
There's a very good selection of sake, beer and other beverages.
I eat here very often.
It's surprising how elegant and well-planned the space is, with light/dark wood and tile contrasts and hints of red to make it feel more spacious. Good background music makes it feel far more mellow than any place like this would ever get in a city.
Try it and you will come back.
All that being said, the noodles, salads and stir-fry are amazingly tasty. The ingredients are so fresh they taste just picked, and house-made pickles used in some dishes are fantastic.
My experience on a red curry with a pinot gris from Moselle Luxembourgeoise is great, not only great, but rich, spicy, fresh and warm, amazing too ! the wine is from kim & Gabriel, the very best fresh couple in town, and happy clients in ViV too !
I have come here on two occasions when they decided to close an hour earlier than their specified hours of operation. Very unfriendly and sometimes rude as well, especially if they think you're a tourist. They should learn how to do customer service if they want repeat customers. The food is pretty good, I like the pho but the ramen tastes like chlorine tap water and they use too much msg. This was one of my favorite restaurants in key west but now I definitely won't be coming back. Sad!
The steamed buns and the coconut curry shrimp are my favorites. Friendly staff.
Hands down best in the island. Plenty of good items to choose from on the main menu and a good specials list. Affordable apps and main course bowls are all fantastic. Gold beer, wine and saki offerings that pair with each meal.
