Restaurant Ô Asie

Opens Tomorrow at 5 pm

Vietnamese Asian

Review Summary

Restaurant Ô Asie receives praise for the pho broth being flavorful without heavy sauces, but the dish is criticized for lacking basic herbs, vegetables and green onions, with very small beef portions and few traditional cuts, resulting in more noodles than meat. The price to value is mixed, as some items are regarded as good value while the pho is seen as lacking meat quantity for the price. Service is described as impeccable and staff are described as friendly and present, though one review notes that a server could have asked about chicken preference in a chicken tonkinese soup; others mention no alcohol sold and a discreet entrance. Other dishes and desserts like fried pineapple and vanilla ice cream receive positive remarks, suggesting overall quality varies by dish. Overall the restaurant offers solid broth and affordable options, but expectations for a fully loaded pho with fresh herbs and varied meat cuts may not be consistently met.View restaurant profile
