Exceptional food and service!…read more I got spring rolls and bun bo hue, both with tofu. The bun bo hue was DELICIOUS - flavorful, not oily, right amount of spicy, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. It was a nice surprise to have a good authentic Vietnamese meal in Brussels that is better than New York City. If I lived here, I'd be a regular. It appears to be a husband and wife owned business - hubby runs the front and wifey runs the kitchen.

Well considering how many Vietnamese places are in the Bay Area, this one in Brussels, is the one that rekindled the smells the tastes and ambiance of being in Hanoi, minus the miniature plastic tables and stools made for kids.) not phat ass American hynies) Nem oh Nem!

The beef pho is tasty with a fair amount of broth and beef, the egg rolls are crunchy and almost as good as LA. The only issue I have is that some of the dishes pictured in the menu are not the same as what you get, like the crispy calamari dish turned out to be a stirred fry.. good but not the same. Basically if you're Asian and crave Vietnamese pho or food, this little restaurant will keep you satisfy until you get home to Little Saigon.

You get to choose your protein and even decide if you want it as part of a combo meal (with wonton soup or nems or crispy shrimp, etc.) et voila! We also really enjoy their nems (fried eggrolls) and the wonton soup (the wontons are very flavourful and outta this world)! Note: they take cash and no card at the cashier area, but they do have an online system that takes card - and you can order it for your table as well! They also speak English so for my fellow non-francophones, fret not! Seating is also first-come, first-served so depending on when you get there you may have to wait for a seat. Overall, a great local establishment worth supporting!

I have heard so many "rumours" about this restaurant being the best Vietnamese one in Brussels. I…read morehave always had my doubts about THE best Vietnamese restaurant, because of course nothing beats the home-made cuisine of my family, ;). However, I have to admit, veni vidi and I was vici. Definitely a really nice surprise. The restaurant is spacious, which you wouldn't expect when you see the entrance, so you're seated very comfortably. The decor is not mind-blowing, very classical style with some Asian touches. However not too cheesy either, so there is a right balance, giving it a relaxed setting. And the garden and terrace it has to offer will definitely attract more than one back to the restaurant during warm sunny days, I'm sure. However, this time, it was winter time. We were a group of all Vietnamese people so decided to order a bunch of very typical traditional dishes to check whether we'd be able to find this homey taste we always crave for. And we did! Appetisers consisted of (small) bowls of pho bo (beef noodle soup), bun bo hue (beef noodle soup of Hue), canh chua (Vietnamese sweet sour soup) and a beef tartare (special of the house). The pho bo tasted how it's supposed to taste. Knowing that it's not easy to achieve a perfect tasting broth, that was a big deal for me already. The canh chua was delicious, sweet and sour just at the right level. The beef tartare was amazing because of its taste but also of the originality, idea- and presentation-wise (4 portions presented on a sesame crisp, excellent!). The bun bo hue was a little disappointing though. It was just ok, because it was missing the kick in the taste. The broth seemed to be a little diluted taste-wise and not spicy at all. Also for both pho bo and bun bo hue, some of the essential veggies that add to the taste were missing. Not that of a big deal, but should all veggies have been offered, it would have even more convinced me about the quality and service if this restaurant, going for the extra mile. Now to the main dishes: bo la lot (beef wrapped in "lot" leaves, banh xeo (Vietnamese crepe, actually also an appetiser), cubes of monkfish, shrimp wrapped in bacon. The shrimp was definitely an unusual, but original dish: very tasty, cooked just right as to not being dry. Banh xeo was savoury, but maybe a little too crispy to my taste. My friend wasn't really convinced by the cubes of monkfish, but more because of the way of cooking (sautéed instead of grilled) than the taste. It did taste good. And then the bo la lot, that was a real success. Moist and tasty, just as how it's supposed to be. The presentation of all dishes also needs to receive some recognition. There is a noticeable effort to make the dishes already savoury to the eye. 1 extra star for making the food experience already more enjoyable thanks to this, because we all know that we do not only eat with our stomach, but also with our eyes. And then dessert. Well, it always seems hard for a Vietnamese restaurant to come up with a traditional dessert menu. The Vietnamese do have some delicious desserts, but they might look and taste very unusual to the not-used-and-not-adventurous-customer maybe? However, this restaurant managed to put 2, which isn't too bad, especially when they were really good. One was the banana beignets flambeed in rice wine (amazing to the eye, but too much wine made the beignets a little too soggy) and one really typical Vietnamese pastry: the banh cam or sesame ball. This one has a coconut filling. I prefer the mung bean filling. However, it had the right crisp, not too greasy and the filling felt light. So very tasty indeed. What about the service? I would say classy without going over the top so you could still feel very much at ease, friendly, fast but not rushed. I definitely liked it. So, it's a 4 star for me because even though very impressed by the quality of this restaurant, some of the dishes didn't reach my expectation (but I'm probably too demanding for Vietnamese cuisine). And then there is the price too. It's definitely on the higher budget. But of course, you get what you pay for: excellent food that goes with the perfect service. This restaurant will definitely remain among my favourites.

Both were flavorful and nicely balanced. Prices were pretty typical for Brussels. A small soup (which was a reasonable portion for lunch), the salad, and a tea came out to EUR 20.

Service was relatively fast and friendly, and I was surprised they didn't have a bigger crowd at lunch. The decor was cute and upscale. I'll definitely be back.

We ended up being 10 min late for our reservation but the staff was super friendly and accommodating nonetheless. My friend and I love Vietnamese food, and everything we ordered was delicious.

The pho was super tasty and full of flavor - just the way I like it. The duck was good, however the pan cakes accompanying the duck stuck together too much and was hard to separate. The drink I ordered was goos and the mochi was tasteful. All in all excellent food experience. I really loved this little restaurant and will definitely recommend it. The ambiance is so good and staff super friendly. You should probably make a reservation to guarantee you a spot (especially on the weekends during the dinner rush).
