The menu was misleading. I should have asked the servers questions before ordering but I thought the BBQ pork and bean curd rice dish was pretty straightforward. I thought that it would be done Vietnamese style and I was looking forward to trying something new. I ended up getting a Chinese-style stir fry dish with tofu and BBQ pork (Chinese style), along with some stir fry veggies on the side. Nowhere on the menu did it say that there would be additional vegetables on the side. Despite the misleading menu, the portions were very generous and the dish itself was good overall. What was also notable was the fact that some rice dishes were more generous than others. Although all rice dishes at Vietnamese restaurants are generous overall (in my experience anyway), my boyfriend's grilled pork and egg cake rice dish was less generous than mine.
The decor of the restaurant could be best described as resembling the inside of some vintage nautical-themed toy chest. There were sea stars and seashells lining the walls and there were a lot of wooden accents. Some of the tables were interesting. The table that we sat at was a glass table with a compartment underneath that contained an assortment of recipes on pie crusts, along with a silver bowl with iridescent glitter in it. Very interesting choice of decor.
Vic Hong needs some improvement in terms of its cleanliness. I was not thrilled to discover that there was a centipede lurking under our table. It was a good thing that I was finished eating when I saw it!
Would I come back here again? Not if I'm craving authentic Vietnamese food. Although the food was okay, the menus are misleading. If you do decide to come in for a visit, always ask the servers what will be in the dish.
