As a Vietnamese person, I feel like I'm quite judgemental. Not because I'm only use to my own family cooking, but because I've tried a s-load of vietnamese dishes cooked by different people from here to Vietnam.
This particular place was okay. We ordered the Bo 7 mon (7 styles of beef) , spring rolls, and a rice dish with everything in it.
The beef course came with a lot of food, It was well worth it -price alone!
Food however,
1. rare beef slices came in a very small portion but was quite good when cooked in the spicy stock (it's quite spicy!). You roll it up with the rice paper and put whatever toppings you wish inside. The sauce it came with to dip was on the sweeter side than I'd like but still tasty!
2. Bo nuong la lot - the beef roll in leaf was soggy and oily, however had good flavours.
3. Beef congee was great, more on the runny side than thick.
4. Bo luc lac - shaken beef - was Chewy but great flavours
5. Grilled beef slices were dry and chewy
6. Bo tai chanh - the pale pieces of beef lol- had great flavour. Love that they use lime leaves and cilantro to bring out the flavours. It was a little too cooked for my liking. I usually have it rare like a beef tataki
7. Meatball had same flavour as the one rolled in la lot -leaves - without the leaves lol
Spring rolls - typical spring rolls
Rice dish - typical with grilled beef and the fixings
Drinks : do not get bubble tea unless you like the powder stuff. The soda xi muoi had too much sugar in it. The Che 3 mau was half ice and had no liquids in it !
Will I come back for these specific dishes? Nah. If I'm super duper craving it, maybe I'll come and order it..then regret eating it after... then be glad again once the cheap bill comes. Lol
