We had a takeaway meal and took it back to the hotel. Lovely tasty food. Soft, succulent Chicken breast with jasmine rice and the red snapper. Both recommended. You need to look carefully for the restaurant as there is no signage on the building. The chicken spring rolls were the best we have had!

One of the warmest and friendliest customer experience I had. Very professional server and welcoming service at the entrance door and out. They offer a wide range of vegetarian options, perhaps my choice wasnât the best, but I wasnât impressed at all: very salty and it arrived too quickly to be made on the spot. It wasnât very easy to digest at all furthermore. After the opinions I read here I had high expectations and I really wanted to give a nice review considering the nice service, but the food just was not at the level at all.

When I read other people's reviews on this website I must wonder if anyone who visited this place actually knows anything about Vietnamese food... I have learned to lower my expectations when I read reviews about 'exotic' cuisine made by people living in fancy suburbs, but this one was just way off...While not bad, I thought the food was extremely bland, absolutely not authentic AT ALL, and massively overpriced.I ordered the fried spring roll to start with, which is always a 'tester' for me in a Vietnamese restaurant, and usually gives a good idea about the quality of the place. 8$ for 4 very small rolls, and (not kidding) half a lettuce leaf. First, the dough of the rolls were nothing like what they are supposed to be, soggy, heavy, it did not feel like it was made in the restaurant but rather frozen or industrially made. Then, the lettuce... I am sorry but when you eat spring rolls in true vietnamese place, you are served a full plate of lettuce leaves, mint etc... usually more than you need. Defineltely more than half a leaf. 8$ for that, it was a tough start.Then I ordered the marinated pork vermicelli salad, 18$ (!!!). Better be spot on for that price. Sadly it was not. Super bland, I needed a ton of sauce to flavor that dish. Usually this is serve with plenty of herbs and is packed with freshness, but this was just nothing like that. The pork itself was really good, but the rest was seriously nothing special, I have had 7$ takeouts that were better and bigger than this.I initially wanted to order more stuff but after these 2 dishes I just gave up and had dessert at home later. Not that the food was bad, but it was too expensive and average at best.Huge disappointment, and I seriously do not understand how this place be so highly rated, I urge people who went there to drive a little bit further out and try 'real' vietnamese food in a more authentic neighborhood maybe.
