Service quality is mixed: some experiences are efficient and pleasant, while others involve delays, ordering from machines, missing bags or straws, and staff who appear reluctant. A few negative notes include not being able to see the drink structure in cardboard cups, being charged for water, and banh mi not being made on site. Still, flavors and freshness often justify a visit as an occasional treat, making Presotea a place many would return to for good juice and overall positive atmosphere.View restaurant profile
Baan Lao emerges in these reviews as a warm, affordable halal friendly spot that blends Bangladeshi, Vietnamese and halal options in a cozy, family owned space. Diners praise fresh ingredients, generous portions, and flavorful pho and banh mi, with beef pho and skewers singled out as standouts and the broth described as rich and well balanced. The service is repeatedly described as friendly, welcoming, and attentive, often with small perks like complimentary tea, and the atmosphere makes it a good spot for families and friends, open late and conveniently near transit. Dishes such as grilled skewers, fuchka, samosas, and vegetarian options appear in strong praise, while a few reviews note slower service during busy times, occasional inconsistency in some orders, and isolated issues like a stray hair or drink quality. Overall, Baan Lao is viewed as a cozy, value driven halal dining option worth trying for those seeking a halal Vietnamese and Bangladeshi fusion.View restaurant profile
