Excellent cocktail selections! Nice little street patio as well, fun overall atmosphere. A great spot for lunch, dinner, or just drinks and apps! Edit*** it was SO GOOD we came back a second time on our trip. Seriously such a gem in the city and a must try for a delicious meal. Service was excellent on both trips as well.

My rating is more of 3.5 stars for Obao. Made a reservation here on a Sunday night with friends to enjoy a nice dinner. This location is definitely smaller than their other location. The restaurant wasn't extremely packed, but the service was still a bit slow. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to share as well as our own entrees. - Kimchi fries - tasted great, fries were still crispy - calamari - I would pass. The batter was soaked in sauce and there wasn't much flavor - spring rolls - pretty standard; can get the same taste and flavor for much cheaper at other places - chicken wings - small but tasted good - lobster pad thai - I enjoyed the pad thai; it was on the sweeter side, which I was not used to. There was a lot of flavor and the lobster was pretty big. (the lobster was MP, so it really depends on the day you go. Mine ended up to be $40) - Bun bo hue - not spicy at all and was still full of flavor By the end of our meal, everyone was so full. Overall, the food was decent, but als
