Food was average at best. Service took almost 50 minutes for food to arrive on a Fri lunchtime (restaurant was 2/3 full only). They forgot the crackers as starters as well. Poor attention to detail - ie 2 out of our group of 4 had one of the chopsticks missing - had two ask twice to get that fixed.

My second attempt since they opened and the penny still doesn't seem to have dropped. Food is tasty but not especially good and it is hard to work out what you are going to get from the menu. Service is a bit clueless / rabbit in the headlights and if fixed could turn this place round... if not I fear for their viability.

The food is nothing special, the service is just not a restaurant service (which the waiter acknowledged and said he was actually really there for the bar). No knowledge of ingredients or of the cooking process. As we were there early (6pm) we benefitted from the Happy Hour in relation to drinks and some of our dishes. Therefore, the food was great value still, albeit mediocre in taste and certainly not something that makes Vietnamese people proud... The restuarnat itself is in a lovely room and it is disappointing that the food does not match the ambience. If you want a quick cheap meal - go for it. If you want something tasty and special - don't bother.

We went for dinner on Saturday. Menu selection ( which is limited in the first place) was very limited . The only one fish deal on the usual menu was not available. The entire bao range wasn’t available. Timing of arrival of our main ( only 3 of us) was very different ( only one other table occupied). Despite that , the food was delicious and the lady serving us was very pleasant . The lightning was too dark . I would go back again .

2nd visit. Better than first time and pleasant enough for casual lunch. Not so good on receiving: uncertainty where to go to on entrance, no-one receiving
