The foods were good ,yummy. But privacy is not that good due to the gaps between each table we're so close. Very narrow. Fusion style American food

I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. We sat at the bar and Stephen helped us out. He made amazing cocktails and had great food recommendations Very few setbacks. 1) a bit pricey overall 2) the lobster in the garlic noodles was fried, which was not made clear in the description and unwanted. Especially when paying $80 for a platter for two, we would like to know if our dinner will trigger heartburn. Aside from that, everything was amazing and we cannot wait to come back! Highlights were the Pear and Petals cocktail, the shrimp nuggets, and the octopus. I am excited to go back and try the whole fish or the fried it

What an incredible night - I can't stop thinking about the explosion of flavors we just experienced. Our Friday reservation was at 7:45pm and we arrived early but still got sat almost immediately. The ambiance was a vibe for date night or friends and the bar looked inviting. All of the staff we encountered was courteous and high spirited. For the food, what didn't we try?! Started with the papaya salad - perfect crunch with a creamy dressing. The wontons were my favorite, make sure you scoop the sauce and flakes to par along with them. The octopus was tender and cooked to perfection then the oysters we had were the largest ones I've ever seen! Entree portions were huge. We tried a spring special crispy chicken and coconut rice. I couldn't stop eating it, great balance of crispy chicken skin with tender chicken to flavorful rice and salad. Then my husband wanted the ba kho pasta, another huge portion. The meat was so tender and the noodles chewy. Massive parking lot. Dessert we did the Yuka cake which was done like a funnel cake with a generous scoop of ice cream. Bravo to the chef, such an e notable experience and twist on viet food. Can't wait to go back!

Came here on a reservation for my birthday at 8:30 pm on a Saturday. Amazing service, we were seated thirty minutes late but because of the delay they offered a round of drinks and appetizers for free yay! They checked in on us a lot and even brought out a yucca cake as a bday special:) Food was very yummy and high quality!! Their menu changes a lot so these dishes might not be available when you go! - Seafood Cha Gio (5/5) Super crunchy and flavorful. Love how fresh the lettuce and mint were to eat with the warm crispy spring rolls. Fish sauce concoction was sweet and perfect for dipping too! - Coconut Curry Risotto (5/5) Very tasty risotto that reminds me of a thai coconut cream curry. Very delicious and smooth. - Bun Ca Nuong (5/5) Very tasty fish super fresh and plump and tender. Very light in flavor - super addicting. Sweet and tasty - love the sweet potato noodles under the fish - they soaked up the sweet flavor so well. - Yuca Cake w/ Ice Cream (5/5) Delicious yuca cake that was fried perfectly. Paired with the dulce de leche ice cream so well. Very beautiful interior, perfect for special events like dates or anniversaries. Beautiful murals and fancy booths, also love the warm lighting. Perfect for intimate settings. Very luxe and very happy with hoe my bday dinner went!

TLDR; I came to Nue for the ambience and stayed for the service. Very creative takes on elevated Vietnamese fusion dishes. The interior is absolutely stunning with the painted walls and all pink interior. They had beautiful decorations up from lunar new year which were wonderful. Service was actually very good, our server was prompt, attentive, and friendly. The meal for valentines was presented beautifully. We got a Caesar salad to start and because it's Vietnamese style there were rice paper croutons inside which were awesome. The radish in the dish gave a nice crunch but was bitter tasting. We ordered garlic chili oil wontons for the appetizer and it was good. Probably the best dish of the night with strong crispy garlic flavor and very mild spice. For the main we got the surf and turf special and it was a ton of food! You get like 40 oz of ribeye steak and two giant prawns and two large scallops. My only complaint was that I didn't enjoy having to peel my own shrimp at a nice restaurant. I loved the Che for dessert - its fruit and tapioca in a coconut flavored pudding. Just the right amount of sweetness!

Finally got to check out NUE in Falls Church, been waiting a while to try this one. Got a group together and tried the LNY Family Set, going on 'til 2/13~ which highlights some of their signature dishes, as well as new Lunar New Year themed ones! Lunar New Year Family Set for $325: "Red & Gold" Roasted Beet Salad Lump Crab Asparagus Soup "Abundance" Hamachi Crudo Chili Oil Wontons Seafood Cha Giò "Celebration" Bánh Chung "Longevity" Noodles w/ Salt & Pepper King Prawns "Golden" Crisp Pork Belly Crispy Whole Fish Yuca Cake with Ice Cream "Blossoming" Pavlova The Drinks we got: Ca Phe Sua Da Vietnamese Coffee Eggnog Le's Passion Sparkling Hibiscus Firelight The food & drinks here are true to their name, Elegant, Elevated, Vietnamese cuisine~ Presentation and flavors are spot on, some standout dishes for me were the Seafood Cha Giò Spring Rolls & the Crispy Whole Fish, crispy textures combined with savory spicy flavors. Service was also excellent and accommodating to food allergies, which is always appreciated!

I dined at Nue restaurant on Tuesday, December 24, 2024 at 7:30 pm. As a Vietnamese-American myself, besides my own family's cooking, the only other authentic Vietnamese food I've enjoyed are the ones at more "hole-in-the-wall," family-owned restaurants like the ones at the Eden Center. Even though sometimes they don't really care that their menus are falling apart and have some misspelling errors, or that their dining tables/chairs are wobbly, or even that they give you a bit of that "professional" Vietnamese service - they let their food do all the talking. But sometimes it's not enough. Nue succeeds in elevating while still maintaining the true Vietnamese flavors that I've grew up with and known to love. It was actually refreshing to be able to enjoy a more elegantly presented Vietnamese dinner with a pleasant ambience and attentive service at Nue. The green papaya Caesar salad was heavy on the dressing and tasted too rich, to such a degree that I thought it didn't really belong on the menu. However, the lump crab asparagus soup was as homey as this soup can get. Thick and well-balanced soup with bits of crab meat and asparagus. The seafood cha gio were crispy and light. I loved the seafood filling inside. And lastly, the crispy whole fish was amazing. The fish was skillfully deboned, which made eating this fish so much more enjoyable. The fish was perfectly cooked - crispy and moist. For a fish this size, I thought the amount of herbs and veg could be more. The service was very attentive and professional. Probably the best I've ever experienced at a Vietnamese restaurant. The server explained each dish and how it was supposed to be enjoyed. Drinks were refilled regularly, which is always a plus. Overall, Nue is a perfect example of properly elevated cuisine that respects the true flavors of Vietnam. Well done.

Had the pleasure of trying out the new Lunar New Year menu, and wow, it did not disappoint! The "Longevity Noodles" were tossed in a flavorful garlic and black pepper sauce that really hit the spot, while the salt & pepper prawns were crispy, juicy, and cooked to perfection. The "Celebration" Banh Chung offered a fresh twist, with mung bean, smoked trout roe, and pork floss blending together in a surprising but tasty way. And the "Red and Gold" Roasted Beet Salad? Absolutely divine! A fun spin on the classic beet and goat cheese combo, but with burrata--because, really, who doesn't love burrata? The toasted hazelnuts gave it a nice, nutty flavor as well! Of course, the cocktails are on point as well. The Earth Snake features toasted coconut vodka, and even though I'm not usually a coconut fan, the mix of vodka and pandan really worked--it wasn't too sweet, just light and refreshing. The Water Snake was super refreshing, and the Bacardi spiced rum paired nicely with the bourbon in the Wood Snake, making it a perfect winter drink. Don't miss out--try these seasonal menu items before they're gone! I think they're available until February 2nd but don't quote me on it.
