Emily and the team at Bacogai deliver a delicious and unique dining experience. We had the duck salad, crab roll, shaking beef, oxtail hot pot, and the waffle for dessert. The food was fresh, the service was prompt, and the atmosphere was pleasant. The shaking beef was particularly flavorful and tender, and the hot pot differentiated itself from what you might expect from other hot pot establishments. I will be back in the warmer months when outdoor seating on the patio is available, but it was also nice to have the hot pot on a crisp autumn day. Worth a visit (and a return visit after that)!

First time here and very impressed!

Not you typical Vietnamese restaurant you would go to for pho. This place specializes in family style hot pot. The menu says recommended for one person but I shared. We ordered a bunch of sides on top of the hotpot dish.

I love canh cua hot pot but this time I went with oxtail. I was not let down. So delicious! Also I can forget the spring rolls. They had fried onions in the peanut sauce, wow impressive!

Green Thai tea: it’s okay. I would pass on that and get a Vietnamese coffee next time.

Bacogai surprised me with their atypical take on Vietnamese food. First off, Bacogai does not have an extensive menu. You are limited to a few appetizers and entrees if you are not doing hot pot. This is not the place for you if you're looking for rice plates, banh xeo, or pho. Fortunately, we enjoyed what we ordered.

We ordered the Duck Goi Slaw Salad, Crab Cha Gio, and Lemongrass Pork Banh Hoi. The salad was flavorful and refreshing. The Cha Gio was good, but the portion was a bit small. The Lemongrass pork, although a bit too sweet, was cooked nicely. We will have to come back to try their hot pot and Bo Luc Lac (shaking beef).

Service was good, except that our waiter brought us our check before we finished eating. Although the waiter said "No rush", we felt like we were being ushered out the door despite the restaurant being half empty.

As for the atmosphere...the space used to be a Taco Bell location so it didn't have a cozy feel.

We will give it a second visit to try the rest of the menu.

Bonus: They have Almanac Love Hazy IPA on tap.
