• It was okay...

I attempted to dine at this restaurant 3 times whilst staying in Hanoi. One night I arrived at 9pm (admittedly late) and was told that the restaurant had closed. After reading all of the positive reviews, I was keen to try again. I arrived at the restaurant at 7:30pm the next night and again, was told that it had closed earlier. On my third attempt a few nights later (around 7pm), I found that the restaurant had maybe 10 people dining and was able to sit upstairs. The service was quite good and the interior of the restaurant and atmosphere was very nice. After looking through the menu several times and scouring over the many options, I couldn't really see much that I was very interested in. It seemed to be more Chinese style than Vietnamese food (or perhaps a mixture of styles). I ordered a tofu and vegetable hotpot style dish with noodles on the side. It didn't really have the robust flavours I had been used to in Vietnam up until that point, and was more of a mild syrupy broth with broccoli, caulifower and a few other vegies. I can't speak for the quality of the rest of the menu, but I've had better vegetarian food in Hanoi for a similar price (e.g. Uu Dam Chay). Still worth checking out, but perhaps not for those who want a vegetarian version of the classic tasty vietnamese cuisine on offer elsewhere.
