Our first time having northern Viet food and everything was so good. It’s definitely on the pricier side but I’d go back. Cocktails were well balanced, and not too sweet. I’d love to try the other dishes. We got the meatball and shank pho and bun cha. They were really filling but I wish my bun cha had more cucumbers and mint.
A bit hit or miss. We ordered 4 small plates and 2 drinks. Here’s the tldr: the chili shrimp salt wings and lai dac thom (jasmine green tea with pineapple and lime) were both standouts. I loved the umami and crisp from the wings, although they were slightly overcooked. With the tea being a refreshing balance of herbal and fruity. However, I was a bit let down by the bò lá lôt (wagyu wrapped in betal leaf) dâu hũ lăc sa tăc (crispy tofu) and bánh bèo huê (steamed rice cakes either shrimp + pork). The wagyu dish seemed gimmicky, as it was not as fatty and tender as I would’ve expected from wagyu. It also tasted dense and overpowering the seasoning & added herbs. On the other hand, the crispy tofu was mostly good but lacking in the kumquat taste it alleged to have. Lastly, the rice cakes tasted flat due to a lack of chilis in the sauce.
