  • Pleasant place in Vietnam

First of all, thanks to all the previous reviewers and for pointing out the location. I visited Hien Nam earlier today (05 May 2017) and enjoyed it. It was still quiet about 16.30, I think they had just reopened after an afternoon siesta (It's possible I misunderstood this part) and I noticed people turning up on scooters and taking meals to go from that moment on. There is a friendly and welcoming old lady who put some rice on a plate, handed me some tongs and pointed to the 10 or so bowls of food to serve myself.. I took a little of everything, but she suggested a little more of each and not to forget the okra. (She was right - the okra was good) The lady spoke some basic English, never once hurried me, came over with a mug of tea, pointed out the wifi password (!!) and then brought me some soup. The soup: It was tasty, with both sour and citrus elements and full of herbs, tofu, leeks and other veggies. Noticing my obvious pleasure, I was given a second bowl of it (how could I refuse?). The soup changes daily As for the food itself. there was a range of tastes and textures, the okra, the kimchi, the greens - all fresh.. I'm not a big fan of mock meat and thankfully there were only one or two items, which I tried and which were also full of flavour. You can see what I had in the picture. All in all, an enjoyable meal Updated from previous review on 2017-05-05
