What People Say

Diners rave about Dzo’s authentic flavors and creative twists on Vietnamese classics.

Many reviews praise the quick and attentive service, even during busy dinner hours, and the trendy, Instagram-worthy interior doesn’t hurt either.

Areas for Improvement

Dzo can get busy, especially on weekends and show nights, so expect a short wait if you don’t reserve ahead. Some diners mention that tables are a bit close together, which adds to the buzz but may not suit those looking for a quiet meal. Portion sizes lean on the smaller side, so consider ordering a few dishes to share.
