The food was good and given its serving size its pricing is also very reasonable. My server, Dong was friendly and attentive.

Reviews
i randomly found this place on maps after a long ha long bay tour. we were the only ones here so i was a bit worried but it was 9pm. but DAYUM the food was AMAZING!! Our server, the 22 year old guy (sorry I forgot his name) was so patient and kind to us, explaining how to eat certain foods, explained the pictures on the walls, showed us his favourite pho place. He made the dining experience so enjoyable. We ordered the honey chicken and the fish dish recommended by him, and were so happy we listened to him!! Don’t hesitate to come in here :)
Wonderful place to eat that caters for Western and Vietnamese meals if you have a picky eater! We came back multiple times, the staff were lovely and the food was great and awesome prices. We loved the Bun Cha, curries, satay chicken & fish & chips!
I’ll start by saying that I came here with a travel group. There was a good amount of seating upstairs and the air conditioning worked sufficiently. We sampled numerous foods, all of which were very good. We finished our meal with fresh seasonal fruit. I would recommend
Had the bun cha and it was excellent. Two different types of meat, both delicious. One of the best bun cha I’ve had in Vietnam. Service from Dong was excellent, very friendly and helpful and spoke excellent English. Would recommend highly to everyone, great experience.
