If you're vegan - DONT

We asked the waitress for vegan food, specifying no egg, cheese, milk or butter (also stating "nothing from animals") and she said she understood.
We ordered tomato soup and pasta with tomato and veg (without parmesan), again asking if that was okay, which she confirmed.
The food then arrived - soup had two tablespoons of butter as a topping? and the pasta had other cheese on top. We asked to have new without the cheese and butter but when it came back, first the pasta tested a lot like butter so we asked her to check in the kitchen- and it was cooked with butter. The tomato soup they had just tried to spoon out the butter, so it was significanly less left in the bowl, with traces of butter.

We just paid and left hungry and upset.
Don't go

Korean restaurant beside the river

Nice inside and outside environment but a bit of mosquitos outside. Good veg options here (miso set) and fried rice. Service is good and attentive. Food is quick when served

Pros: Fresh ingredients, good portions, Outside seating

Cons: Bugs outside

Great place to meet

This is a pleasant place to meet with a few people because it‘s relaxed and comfortable and there are food options for everyone. We met here with a small group after a boat trip on the Mekong.
I had the tofu curry which was not the best I ever had, but it was tasty.

lovely spot

If you want a quiet place away from the main areas try here, it's across the road from the river.

I went twice. I had the raw spring rolls with yummy dipping sauce once, then miso soup and the potato patties the next time. I was happy with both.

There's a gallery on the second floor, as well as some more seating.

Pretty little spot

Pretty little garden with seating, and some amazing photography upstairs, definitely pop in and have a look. The food was quite pricey and i found the yellow curry a bit bland, but the pasta and tomato sauce was very rich and flavourful!

Pros: Nice venue, Pasta and tomato sauce, Photography

Cons: A bit expensive, Not that many vegan options

Wouldn't Return

Asked for fried rice, no egg no fish sauce. Server repeated the order back to me but when the food arrived it had an egg on it. I sent it back but they just picked the egg off the top and returned it 30 seconds later - I was very unimpressed. There were still pieces of egg on it. He didn't see the problem so I had to say I was extremely allergic to egg. The fried rice was mediocre in the end. They do give you free cold water though which is nice.

Lovely setting but below par food

Very nice setting to eat a meal- with a photo exhibition inside that is really worth checking out and a lovely outside space to eat beneath some big trees. A great place to come for a drink and chill. However the food was pricey and, although nicely presented the flavours were not great and we weren’t very impressed by our meals.
