The food at this restaurant is consistently delicious and affordable, especially for the area. The staff who answer the phones are friendly and courteous, and orders are typically prepared quickly. I highly recommend this place!
I really enjoyed this Vietnamese restaurant's unique twist on traditional cuisine. Despite the limited menu, they offer a great variety of classic Vietnamese dishes. Definitely worth a visit! The smoothies are fantastic and the coffee packs a punch. Plus, the prices are very reasonable.
First of all, I want to give a big shout out to Kate for her exceptional professionalism and welcoming service that immediately makes you feel at home when you walk in the door. She is always so kind and goes above and beyond to ensure that customers feel comfortable and appreciated. The food is always delicious and the restaurant is always spotless. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience at Em at 86th. I hope more people visit this place so they can have the same wonderful experience that I have had. Kate truly deserves all the praise she gets, and anyone who disagrees should speak to the manager.
