• Unimpressed!

We tried this place because of the good reviews but weren't impressed. We'd been looking forward to trying the pancakes which were a starter. We ordered them but they never came and we had to ask for them to be taken off our bill at the end, which was not very easy as we don't speak Vietnamese. We tried the turmeric noodles and red rice Udon noodles. The turmeric dish was OK. The Udon noodles were SO boring. Chewy noodles served in a thin soup that just tasted like water than veg have been boiled in once, with about 3 slices of carrot and some chopped spring onion or chives on top. It was like a homeopathic dose of veg - water with a vague, distant memory of vegetable. It has a lot going for it as an idea - vegan, macrobiotic, worthy - and it seemed quite popular with Vietnamese customers working their way through large plates of red-brown rice - but it wasn't for us. I think it's the first time I've ever gone home after a meal and made myself a snack just to get some sense of flavour back in my life!
