Huong Que certainly gains no marks for effort in the decor stakes - we wondered whether the large plastic plants had been bought in specially, or if they'd been recovered from the skip following the refurb. They certainly haven't tried to go down the pretentious route here. A point of potential comedy/disaster was watching people slip on the wet flooring as they entered the restaurant. Plumping for a surface that becomes nearly frictionless when water is introduced seems an optimistic gambit in England, at best. The menu, on cheerfully laminated A4 inkjet printed paper, listed a selection of appealing sounding dishes marked as Entrees and Mains, yet all priced more or less identically. The 5 of us made our selections, and watched as a waiter brought 3 bowls of Pho down the steps from the kitchen and managed to tip one all over the steps and himself, as the others stood looking on uncertain of what to do. The yellow "wet floor" bollard was deployed eventually. My starter of cold rolls with prawn & pork was delivered in great time, but the waiter seemed unsure as to whether the spring rolls he had were for us, and disappeared with them. A few minutes later, Martin's fried prawns arrived. A few minutes later they collected my dish, then brought out Simon's starter. About 15 minutes later Liz's main course arrived, and we pointed out that we were still waiting for 2 starters. The waiter's confused reaction was bettered only by his response: "Maybe they will be here soon?". The other 4 main courses we'd ordered were there fairly soon, but there was no sign of the starters. Nor did we see any evidence of the 6th main course we'd ordered to share. At 9:15 the waiter came over - as it turned out, not to apologise for our food going missing - to tell us that another party had booked our table for 8:30 and had been waiting some time, and effectively said we had to leave. We pointed out the missing items from our bill, and he seemed surprised that they hadn't arrived (odd, as it was him who we'd told previously), and generously adjusted the bill and volunteered to forego the service charge. All a bit of a chronic shame really - my grilled pork noodle & spring roll dish was a tasty, filling, excellent example of Vietnamese cuisine, and most of the others seemed to enjoy theirs too. If this place can tighten up on their service, they should be able to keep it ticking over very nicely indeed. If not, it'll leave me wondering whether "Huong Que" is some sort of Vietnamese tribute to London's "Wong Kei". Although in fairness, they're not inept - just purposefully rude.

Quite typical of other Vietnamese places I've been to elsewhere. Sometimes language is a problem as many of the waiting staff have limited English skills, but any mistakes are profusely apologised for and is corrected. Its certainly somewhere to go on a low budget and I've gone there for mine and others birthdays meals. They seem to be able to cater for large parties with no issues. I never hesitate to take friends who are visiting Bristol, to visit here. Parking is often easy during the evening and I've always had a pleasant and fun evening out. The toilets are kept clean and tidy and the general eating area, although not overly luxurious, certainly is suitable for what the place offers.

He informed our friend that her credit card payment had not been authorised. I was already about to make up the shortfall by cash but he was extremely reticent to hand over the printout from the machine which aroused our suspicions. We eventually did wrestle the printout from his clenched hand and discovered upon examination that the payment had gone through. It is my belief that the waiter was attempting to get us to pay again through deception, although I can't prove it. At any rate I would not recommend anyone eating here and if you do, I would strongly suggest paying by cash rather than card as I believe that this restaurant has crooks and thieves working there. I also doubt if we were the first that this deception was attempted on or the last. Go elsewhere, not here. On the plus side the food was nice, but we will never return.
