Love the asmosphere here, the deco & everything,
Enjoy the Bún Riêu the most, with CHINSU hotsauce 🔥holy im so glad it not spirancha (no offence)
& the chicken wings (cánh gà ) sweet & savory, a must buy indeed
Très bonne adresse : bon rapport qualité/prix, bonne ambiance & excellent service. Les serveurs ont été accommodants & nous ont offert nos boissons pour nous avoir demandé de changer de table, un geste commercial très apprécié !
La margarita à la mangue est à tomber!
Quelle belle & bonne soirée! La nourriture excellente, l'ambiance top, le cocktail délicieux! J'ai tout adoré! & le service était très bon, Minji était extrêmement sympathique & efficace!
1) Food:
The dishes looked great in their ads & on social media, so I was very excited (they also ran *a lot* of ads). However, most items fell short. The only standout was bánh tôm (the shrimp fritters) which I enjoyed. Bò né (the steak & egg skillet) had too much soy sauce which overwhelmed the beef & pâté. The bánh bao was more Chinese bao bun style than actual Vietnamese bánh bao, & the filling was below average - definitely my least favorite. G?i gà (the chicken salad) was also average & forgettable.
Portions were small for the price, so we didn't bother ordering more & just went to Tay Ho restaurant nearby afterward for a fuller, actually delicious, & cheaper meal.
2) Service:
Also disappointing. After our food arrived, we held off eating to wait for our friend, which was 15 minutes in total (I took photos & have timestamps). 2 minutes before our friend came, at 6 PM, our server came over & asked,'Are you guys gonna eat that? We have tables after you.' This felt unnecessary & uncomfortable, especially since we were already worried sick if our friend was safe or not because of this unusual delay.
For context, I'd called the day before & were aware they had rsvps starting from 7 PM, so this interaction at 6 felt rushed & somewhat icky. Then we checked with another server & were told we had a 1.5-hour seating window, which made the other person's question even more unreasonable. We finished everything at 6:19 PM, which was approximately an hour of the total seating.
After reading all the other comments, I have a feeling we're all referring to the same waitress. If that's right then I hope they would take some actions to manage this issue, like better training or something.
3) Seating:
The setup was awkward & impractical. I understand Tô Dinette Viet wants to recreate a Vietnamese street food aesthetic with their furniture choices, but the execution misses the mark & inauthentic. Low plastic tables are typically paired with short stools (see my 2nd photo), & taller chairs go with even higher metal tables (photo #3), not whatever they do. This mismatch made it uncomfortable to eat & could be especially difficult for older customers.
Overall: 1/5 experience.
The food was so flavourful! The place is very cute. The only negative thing is I would say that the chair (little red stools) are not very confy…
We ordered & then were ignored for over an hour - no drinks, food or check in. When I asked if prep had started as otherwise we would just leave (it was closing time) we got our juice & were reassured food was being plated. The food came another ten minutes later & the beef soup was very oily & not flavorful. The beef sandwich with egg was okay (didn't come with any toppings & you assemble yourself). They offered free imperial rolls which were good. The small plastic stools were hard to sit at for that kind of wait. This is a trendy looking spot but they probably forgot to put in the order & don't seem to actually care about your experience.
Went based on the good reviews, but food was below average. Not a lot of flavour, didn't do justice to otherwise fantastic Vietnamese cuisine.
This place was amazing! Everything was delicious & seemed to be crafted with a lot of care & attention. The staff were extremely friendly & attentive. We had the grilled pork shoulder, grilled tofu, & the shrimp & yam donuts & everything tasted incredible. Highly recommend!
Très belle découverte. Décoration qui t'emporte au Vietnam, à Hoi An pour ceux qui connaissent. Cuisine présentée avec soin. J'y ai mangé la meilleure salade vietnamienne au poulet de tous les restaurants que j'ai faits. Les plats sont savoureux & le cuisinier Minh est adorable. J'y retournerai & je recommande à 100%.
