“Why put up with the wait, attitude or high prices” of other trendy Asians, when you can enjoy “delicious contemporary Vietnamese” with a twist” at this “hip” spot in the Marina (and now Palo Alto too) featuring a “great sharing menu” (it’d be difficult to find a bigger spring roll selection anywhere”) and a “friendly staff that “makes sure sake glasses are never empty” : still, it’s better ”for a group” than “romance” since the “sterile” room gets really “loud” and “crowded”.

“A restaurant for all seasons”……Three Seasons serves up wonderful Asian fusion cuisine

“Three Seasons has already proven to be a fun, lively and perhaps more youthful spot from which to tuck into shaking beef or tiger prawns and garlic noodles. Like Charles Phan’s Slanted Door in San Francisco, Three Seasons celebrates traditional Vietnamese street foods with top-notch ingredients, but it doesn’t hesitate to go for flavor over strict verisimilitude”.

“ What’s great about the place, which seats 155, is the feel of it-people sharing food and having a good time”.

Three Seasons is a “…cool Vietnamese bar and restaurant. Think of it as a low key Slanted Door (but a lot easier to get a table)…”

“…This is a great place to sample dishes from around Asia.”

“Three Seasons is another reason to battle the neighborhood’s parking and SUVS”

“The handmade dishware is beautiful, the service friendly and attentive and, best of all, the delicate fragrance of the good things from Three Seasons’ kitchen floats through the place like a warm summer breeze.”

“Tessa and Hung Le have a winner on their hands as Three Seasons hits the ground running with good food and solid service”.

“The impressive” contemporary Vietnamese” at this comfortable Marina restaurant recalls perennial hotspot Slanted Door”.

The small, reasonably priced plates are meant to share. They’re also meant to be “New Vietnamese”, creative, pan – Asian twists on traditional fare like scallop satay, spring rolls stuffed with ingredients from sushi’s spider roll and five-spice lamb.
