• Amazing!

This was the best restaurant I found in HCMC. It is down a side street/alley just off Vo Van Tan, not on the Main Street itself, so took a little finding as I hadn't realised this from the map, but it was totally worth the effort! The staff were lovely, spoke really good English and chatting to them enhanced the dining experience. They kept me plied with complimentary iced green tea, which was great. I ordered fried mushroom spring rolls that came with salad, delicious red chilli flake paste and a sweet dipping sauce. They were really good! I followed this with purple vermicelli, which was a build your own spring roll meal with rice paper to dip in water and build your rolls with.. This was really fun and the staff explained that this was a very traditional local dish and gave me a demonstration of how to do it! This course was so tasty, with a perfect combo of fresh herbs, pickles, peanuts, spring onions, purple vermicelli (that looked amazing!), chilli and sweet dipping sauce. This dish was really substantial and I washed it down with an iced soya milk. I followed this with an exceptionally good iced coffee, which they made to go as I had a train to catch and even offered to call a taxi for me. This whole meal cost me 78VND, which was an absolute steal given the quality and amount of food! Can't recomm this place enough! A highlight of my trip so far.
