I've been here twice now, once on a weekday and once on a Saturday, and service was incredibly slow the second time. From ordering to receiving the food, we waited over 30 min for two mains and a salad. The waitress was sweet and apologetic, but did not seem to have the influence to move things along. Luckily we had some prawn crackers (kroepoek) to help tide us over.
About the food, they have a delicious sweet and spicy vegetable soup with your choice of pork, chicken or beef. I chose the beef which is really tender. They ran out of pork the first time I was here, so we had rice rolls with chicken instead and our banh xeo (Vietnamese prawn and pork pancakes) were very sadly stuffed with a little prawn and heaps of bean sprout. The chicken salad is very refreshing, nice acidity and a bit spicy. The rice was nice and fluffy and dessert was okay too. There is this really authentic Vietnamese dish (prawn on sugar cane) that they sadly enough took off the menu. I didn't go for phö since I had some earlier this week elsewhere, and a friend didn't recommend the phö at this restaurant because the clove overpowers the soup.
All in all, the beef soup might be my favorite dish here, followed by the chicken salad. The rest of the dishes didn't really stand out to me, and combined with the long wait, I think I will skip this restaurant the next time. read more
