Most Disliked
While the taste and quality are consistently praised, some customers find the prices a tad high, especially for certain seafood options. This can be a consideration for those on a tight budget. Peak time crowds can lead to longer wait times, particularly during lunch and dinner rush hours, which may detract from the relaxed dining experience. A few diners have mentioned that the variety, while impressive, can sometimes feel overwhelming without proper guidance on must-try items.

It is an excellent and authentic Vietnamese restaurant with a wide variety of food. The taste and ingredients are very authentic. The price is not outstanding, but it is worthy of its taste. The price-performance ratio is very high. Pay special attention to if you like seafood. They have many choices, but the price will be relatively expensive. Whether you are with friends or a family, this is a suitable restaurant for you.
