> Hello Vietnam offers a wonderful dining experience with genuinely friendly service and delicious food. I stopped by for lunch recently and everything from the warm hospitality to the vibrant, flavorful dishes made it a truly lovely meal. Highly recommended if you are looking for fantastic Vietnamese cuisine., froggy nz, a month ago
> Food was decent, with very large portions. I'd say their pho was best. Other than that they gave large chunks of carrot core and onions were cut to the size of my fists and their spring rolls were half burnt. The table we were seated was meant for 8 and the surfaces weren't cleaned properly. But overall it wasn't the worst experience., Han Lee, 6 months ago
> Dined in here a few weeks back, as soon as entered, we got seated at a table pretty much right away. The atmosphere was buzzing and lively as there were alot of customers dining in. For entrees we ordered some fresh prawn rice paper rolls which were super fresh and delicious with the dipping sauce. For mains we ordered beef noodle soup, which came with a side of sprouts and coriander. The broth tasted so authentic and flavorful, and the noodles were firm to the bite and plentiful. The beef was cooked medium rare as per request, and tasted fantastic. Overall, the food was outstanding and will, nick_non_canon, 9 months ago
