What I Ate: Fresh spring roll, raw beef noodle soup (pho), red bean coconut juice…read more Price I Paid: Shared cost of less than 70 HKD Decor: Old school Cantonese restaurant, basic and bare Service: Average, the waitress misunderstood two of our orders (guess that's what you get for ordering in English) Verdict: Will not be back Still on my search for decent Vietnamese in Hong Kong....and unfortunately this restaurant is going to be added to my growing list of less than average Vietnamese places in Hong Kong. The fresh spring rolls were actually okay (had a nice fresh crunch to it) and it started off promising until I got delivered the pho. Disappointing, flavourless and watered down soup stock. Where were the bean sprouts, fresh herbs, chilli and lime? Noodles were fresh and there was a winter melon in my soup (what???) and which made me think that this place is more influenced by Cantonese than Vietnamese. Did I just order the wrong dishes? How does this restaurant even get a high rating? Am I just spoilt that I've had amazing Vietnamese restaurants up to the point I moved to Hong Kong. Gah! I really wanted to like this.

This is probably one of the last standing, affordable Vietnamese restaurants in Central. Although a…read morelittle bit hidden down an alley way, it's worth the trek if you're looking to fill your pho craving. I've had this place twice now, once for pho and once for curry beef brisket. I really enjoyed both. Although the pho wasn't anything spectacular or wow-ing, it was definitely enough to settle my craving for warm, beefy pho. The beef brisket in the curry was tender and soft, and curry itself was creamy. If you're looking for a quick, dirty, and affordable Vietnamese spot in Central, this is the place to go.

So here we are yet again, not ashamed to say a Vietnamese fusion restaurant is one of our favorite places to eat in Hong Kong. I come for the pho rolls, as should you. Oh, servers will take shots with you if you so desire; Hong Kong sure knows how to party a little too well.

This place is always busy and is typically only open for dinner. With the Covid restrictions I was…read moreable to finally eat here during lunch time. They take a creative take on Vietnamese food from the northern part of Vietnam. If you are looking for pho you won't find that here. The food is decent but I was expecting more given I'm paying a premium price wise. They really are aggressive with the sugar in their dishes and you really need to like things sweet to enjoy their interpretation of some the dishes. Food: 3.5 stars Service: 4 stars Value: 3 stars Overall: 3 stars Cha Ca hanoi is one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes after having it in Hanoi. As mentioned earlier the version here is really aggressive with the sugar. Otherwise I think the flavors are pretty good. Dill and scallions are proportioned nicely and the fish is cooked well. The Bun Cha also suffers from being really sweet. It isn't that sweet in the places I've had it in Hanoi. I think I would have enjoyed my meal more if I only had one of the two. For the appetizers I had the spring rolls and the Vietnamese pizza. Spring rolls are pretty standard and delivered on kind of what I expected. The Vietnamese pizza is probably something I wouldn't order again.

I came for the lunch special which was $36 HKD and added a special drink for $4 (usually just…read moregetting a cold drink is $3 in lunch sets). I ordered the lemongrass pork chop noodle soup set. The pork was lean with very little bone. It was fried nicely and surprisingly worked with the wet noodles. The amount of noodles was sufficient and the broth was sweet and flavourful. The drink I ordered, the 珍多冰 (Cendol, I think) was absolutely fantastic, to the point where I am going to probably try to make it myself soon. I think I really got hooked on it. One time I came I tried the add noodle option for an extra $8 HKD, but I didn't think there was a lot more noodles than the regular bowl. Also, since the bowl has a set size, they might give you some extra noodles, but then you don't have enough broth, so you lose out in the end. Next time I come back I hope this place will be open because I definitely would come back.

I started off with their Tom Yum soup and boy was it amazing. Some places tend to serve it too creamy, too spicy or too sour/tart but this places does Tom Yum soup proud with the perfect mixture of harmony. I don't personally usually order Tom Yum soup at Thai places because how easy it is to screw it but my Aunt personally recommended that it's good here and I'm so glad I got to try it. Highly recommended. Next came something I never had before, it was raw shrimp served dressed with some chili and garlic slices. Also to accompany the shrimp was a spicy sauce which looked to have some vinegar, cilantro, green onions, chili peppers, and other spices. It had a nice clean kick to it. Next was the pork shanks simmered in what looked to be five spiced broth with Chinese broccoli. The pork was very tender and full of flavor. Definitely worth trying here. On came the skewers, we got beef, chicken, and pork. This was pretty decent but the meats could have been more tender. Out of the three, the pork skewer tasted the best as it had more meat flavor compared to the others. Next came some garlic bread which was good but what made it stand out was the curry that you had to dip with it. Amazing curry! It was a little sweet and reminded me of Malay curry. Then came a whole perfectly cooked chicken. It was so fresh and tender. It was so good that I ate the bulk of it! The white meat could almost be confused with the dark meat in a blind taste test. That's how good it was! Next came the Egg Plant but I'm usually not a fan of Eggplant but they enjoyed it. Then because my Aunt knows the owner, we got a special off the menu item which was a Pumpkin Prawn curry with noodles (yee mein). One of my favorite kind of asian noodles. It went so well with the curry. Definitely recommend ordering it if you can haha. Next to lighten up the already huge amount of food we ordered for 4 people lol, we got a salad with consisted of little Pomelo pulps, cashews, small dried shrimp, chili peppers, green onion, and baby shrimps. If you want great prices and legit authentic Thai food. This has got to be one the places but it's quite a drive outside the city but totally worth the drive!
