I genuinely don’t understand the hype surrounding this restaurant. After hearing so much about it and seeing the Michelin recommendation, I walked in with high expectations, but unfortunately, it ended up being one of the biggest disappointments of our Vietnam trip. The service lacked any sense of urgency or hospitality. It was difficult to get the attention of the staff, simple requests took far longer than they should have, and there was very little follow-up once our order was placed. The restaurant wasn’t even particularly busy, which made the slow service even harder to understand. The food itself was equally underwhelming. We ordered the butter garlic crab expecting a rich, savoury dish, but it was surprisingly bland with an odd sweetness that overpowered everything else. Even the fries, which should be one of the easiest items to get right, arrived late and weren’t enjoyable. Considering the prices, I expected much better food and a much better overall experience. There are countless fantastic restaurants in Vietnam offering incredible meals and warm service at similar or lower prices. This simply wasn’t one of them. Our Grab driver actually suggested we skip this place, but we assumed the reputation spoke for itself. Looking back, I wish we had taken his advice. I wouldn’t return, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic or memorable dining experience.
