I got the Com Chiên (Vietnamese fried rice) with tofu, and it was yummy! I need to work on my adjectives, don't I? Savory. Palatable. Tasty. Luscious. This was the first time I had ever eaten at a sit-down restaurant with Vietnamese food (and not just Thai), and what an incredible introduction to the cuisine it was!
I noticed that a lot of reviewers complained about the long wait and overall slow service. We did indeed have to wait maybe a little longer than usual for our food at Ha Long Bay, BUT there were not many other people dining at the time. The waitstaff was not particularly friendly and there was a little bit of a language barrier. True. BUT, the food is just SO good. My three dining companions (one of whom was Vietnamese) all gave shining gold stars to this place, too.
This food was delicious and well worth the long wait. Maybe if we had been in a huge hurry, I would be singing a different tune. But the food was delectable, and I'll certainly come back for a second go if I'm ever in this neck of the woods again!
