| - I live just a few blocks from Ha Long Bay, and have been there several times. I was there about a week ago with my boyfriend on a Sunday at 1:45pm, and the place was packed. I thought our lunch might take a while, but it actually came super fast. I can say with confidence that they serve the best pho in the willy street/downtown area by far. The broth is savory, flavorful, and delicious. The noodles are done well, and the meat is tender. The service is always friendly and quick, and the prices are really affordable. I love that my boyfriend and I can go for lunch, get 2 glasses of wine, two appetizers, and two entrees all for less than $35 dollars. My only criticisms are that the pork and shrimp spring rolls are not the best I've had, and I don't understand the nuts? in them. Also, they don't put chopsticks or fish sauce on the table unless you ask. It's no problem asking for these items, but personally, I think they should be put on the table as staple items. Aside from the tiny things I find wrong with Ha Long Bay, I think it's an awesome restaurant, and will dine there many more times in the future!
