Well deserved in my opinion! Some of the best pho I've ever had, which is saying something since I'm from Los Angeles and Seattle where quality pho is on every corner. The portions aren't huge, but I still couldn't finish my whole bowl so I'm not complaining. Absolutely the best spring rolls I've ever had. Everything tastes super fresh and clean on the palate. I had a premium beef bowl with spring rolls and a Viet iced coffee for HK$218. Service was quick, polite and to the point. Cash only!

Was looking for a nice, big hot bowl of pho on a 8 degree day, and decided to try this relatively…read morenew place. I was disappointed. As a disclaimer, I come from the perspective of an Asian American palate, where pho is a piping hot and hearty affair. Here is my two cents after a short meal at Brass Spoon: Pros: Very silky smooth vermicelli, pretty flavorful soup and the option to pick all your preferences such as how oily you want the soup, how many scallions/onions/condiments preferred, and extra toppings, was quite a thoughtful touch. Cons (For me they far outweigh the pros): The portions. Small bowl, tiny portions of beef, like literally 5 small slithers of meat. I also added Vietnamese sausage, and got three LIME-SIZED SLICES OF MEAT ABOUT AS THICK AS TWO CREDIT CARDS. Seriously Brass Spoon, just charge higher and give people something, it's Vietnamese sausage, meant to be thickly sliced and satisfying, not a friggin slice of exotic truffle! The place and decor itself is hip and in a cool neighborhood. The place is inexpensive at HKD 60ish per lunch. But the decor makes me expect more from this place, instead of feeling ripped off even at such a low price. If your margins are being squeezed, mark up higher and offer a more competitive product. I don't think people aren't willing to pay - you are competing against guys like Ted's Atlier and Po Boys nearby, with pricier but way more satisfying menus. You just opened. Pho is meant to hit the spot for us diners. I don't know what spot you are aiming at here. Two stars from me, Brass Spoon needs to figure out who they are first if they want to be top brass.

Noodles to me were undercooked a tiny bit but the lemongrass pork flavor was good. They had a pitcher of fish sauce which was very convenient for me to pour over the noodles. I should try more items like the pho, banh mi sandwiches or spring rolls. Service was not bad, when it got more crowded our server gave us the "You are finished and need to leave" eyeball so we left after less than an hour :)

I've long ranted about subpar Vietnamese places in Hong Kong (and in New York). There are always…read moreexceptions to the scene and I would place Bún Cha in the "much better" category. They have made a smart business decision in setting up shop in that Central-meets-Sheung-Wan part of town and offer the kind of Northern Vietnamese fare that just about anyone can enjoy. In some strange way, Bún Cha reminds me of places in Vietnam. It is incredibly small and located on a steep hill just across from PMQ. How they've managed to squeeze in some tables in here is beyond me, but know the seating is extremely tight. Even with a table or two on the outside, they experience lines / queues during peak service hours all the time. Unlike a lot of their nearby eatery neighbors, they stay open during that weird 3pm-6pm time frame, which is when I like to eat here. Crowds be gone. Similarly to Vietnam, the Viet speaking staff works behind an open kitchen / counter in clockwork type fashion. Everyone has a role and they do it well. Thank the stars for the massive air conditioning units from above; back in the motherland the wall fans aren't enough to keep sweating from dripping into the food. Thank goodness they stack a ton of napkins for everyone to use. Onto the food: My pho bo (really "pho tai") was wonderfully garnished with the basil, scallions, and onions with a small side of lime and chilis for additional zest and bang. I love that they include hoisin at the table (tuong den) because frankly, the broth needed it. It's definitely not MSG-laden but may be less potent in the eyes of other fellow pho lovers. In that sense, it was mildly disappointing, but certainly not a deal breaker. And for what it's worth -- it's a big ol bowl. No one mentioned anything about xe lua! I've also sampled their version of bun thit nuong, i.e. vermicelli with grilled pork and it was refreshing. The pickled veggies were fresh and I appreciated the generous dousing of fried garlic, peanuts, shallots across the dish. Unlike some versions in the US / Australia where there is a massive heap of salad beneath, this one did not have that. Plenty of bún; just the way I like it. Add to that a jar with a handle full of nuoc mam, which I've not seen in any Viet restaurant in HK. Kudos on that. The real star of the show was the cha gio, or Vietnamese spring rolls. They're more akin to the nem cua of northern Vietnam -- spring rolls stuffed with minced pork, crab, glass noodles, and fungus. They were light, crispy, and even airy; just like the stuff back in the motherland. Even the accompanying lettuce was stiff with freshness, which made the meal all the more pleasant. It all comes at a price. At around $70HKD for the average noodle dish, it's hardly highway robbery but it's certainly along the same price point as most places in Central. They make a killing on the drinks, charging as much as $40HKD for stuff like Hanoi Beer, which is an easy $4HKD in Hanoi itself. Rent does need to get paid after all and with *good* Viet food in demand, they've certainly got one of the better options in town.

The…read morefirst thing that sticks out about this place is the fact that the staff are not dismissive and rude and actually very friendly. We opted for some skewers, the banh xeo (this was my first Saigonese pancake/crepe) and a dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious and if you look the slight bit confused when food hits your table, the waiter/waitress explained how best to eat things - which was just as well given I'd never tried the awesomeness that was the banh xeo - a light crispy pancake with Le Garcon Saigon's own twist on the classic Saigonese dish. It has prawns, chorizo, bean sprouts and other vegetables inside a folded crepe which you dip into a very flavourful sauce. I visited Ho Chi Minh City for the first time about 3 months after visiting this place and was able to better understand the differences vs. what we consider to be "typical" Vietnamese food and I can genuinely recommend this as one of the best Vietnamese restaurants I've tried in Hong Kong. Prices are not cheap but this is a place to enjoy in a group so you can try a range of dishes.

My friends and I ordered their curry beef stew, beef pho, king prawn, and their lemongrass fish (forgot the name of it). The best part of the curry was the garlic bread that comes with it. You're not able to order the garlic bread as a side order so it's worth trying with the curry. The pho bowl was huge and it's meant to shared with 2 individuals but with the 3 of us, we still couldn't finish it. The king prawn was out of this world! I've never seen or tasted prawns of that size and it kind of reminded me of lobster meat. The fish was decent but nothing amazing. It takes a while for the fish to warm up and you'll have to flip it because one side will be hot and the other will still be cold. Overall, I enjoyed my meal here and it was definitely something to experience since I haven't tried anything of the sort here in LA.

The pate has a nice creamy texture and is not gamy. They put scallions in there sandwich. I enjoyed it but this may not be for everyone. If I wrote this review after my first visit I would say that this is the best banh mi O have had in Hon Kong. However, the second time around the bread wasn't as fresh and didn't have the crunchy exterior that I hope for in a baguette. This is probably because I had the sandwich close to dinner time. I will definitely come back when I am craving a banh mi.
