I was on the tram, on my way back to Den Haag Central Station when it stopped right in front of Ngon. Being 12:30 I said, "Ehhh, wtf why not?" So I got off and walked inside.
The decor was nice, clean, smooth and exceptionally loungy. Modern lighting fixtures, furniture and colors (soft purple and white). I wanted to sit on the outside patio in the rear but it was full, albeit three tables. Perhaps a bit too trendy but as they say, the proof is in the pudding - I ordered the Beef Pho (10.75 euro).
A decent sized bowl arrived on the scene. The sliced beef was arrayed like a flower on top of the sunken noodles. Nice touch. A small plate with cilantro and basil accompanied the dish sans bean sprouts which would have been nice but whatever. The broth was fine, clear and full of flavor. The noodles had a nice bite to them as well. Two little jars: one with Sriracha and the other with Hoisin Sauce was also supplied. A little dab of Sriracha never hurt no one.
All in all, a nice diversion and pleasant surprise from normal Dutch fare. I'd actually give the place three-and-a-half stars but no halves available in Yelp. I'll definitely go again but then I'll order the skewered pork I saw the cook skewering when I left the place to catch the tram back to central station, damn. read more
