Góc is one of those food hall surprises that quietly wins you over. Sometimes the places you expect the least deliver the most.
We went to this food hall for dessert, where Stickhouse is also located, but ended up ordering food from Góc and were pleasantly surprised. Ordering is done through a kiosk, and once your order is placed they announce your number when the food is ready. Service was basic but efficient.
We ordered the velvet cado and the pork banh mi, and both were delicious.
The banh mi really stood out. It did not include pate or mayo, which are usually key components in many banh mi sandwiches, but it still came through for me. The bread was flaky and moist, the pork was perfectly grilled, sweet, and tender, and the pickled radish and carrots added a satisfying crunch. Thai basil added a fresh, aromatic finish that tied everything together. Even without the traditional elements, the sandwich worked.
The velvet cado was made with fresh avocado and was not overly sweet. I personally prefer my avocado shakes sweeter, but I appreciated the balance here. The whipped cream and almond toppings added texture and richness. Depending on your taste, this drink can be either a hit or a miss, but it clearly focuses on quality ingredients rather than sugar.
One interesting thing I noticed was Budweiser listed in the drink section right next to the root beer. I am not sure if it is actually offered or just displayed, but it definitely caught my attention.
I also liked the setup of the space. There is plenty of seating and lots of decor throughout the food hall, which makes it comfortable to sit, eat, and take in the atmosphere.
Overall, I liked Góc and would give it another try. The banh mi left a good impression, and next time I would like to try their banh khot to see how it compares. read more
