I never give 5 stars for a Vietnamese restaurant because they always lack something. But this restaurant is just good in general.
We drove all the way to the restaurant for 30 minutes because we heard they serve authentic and well-known Northern Vietnamese cuisines.
Instead of getting Pho today, we ordered the special Vietnamese grilled sausages, Ha Noi styled vemicelli, and Marinated Pockhoc with Vemicelli.
The grilled sausages were the best thing I've ever had at a Vietnamese restaurants. They were absolutely delicious. It is my favorite dish there and I think I will always come back for this.
The Hanoi styled vemicelli was also very good. It was very tasty when I had my first bites, but then the grilled sausages came out and I was just so into the sausages after.
My friend ordered the Marinated Pock Hoc and I tried one bite and honestly didn't like it much. My friend however said he likes it as much as I like my Hanoi vemicelli.
Service, in general, is good too. The waiter was very nice. The only thing I noticed that the table was quite sticky so I hope it could be wiped carefully next time.
The restaurant is very small. There are about 6-8 tables. It will be hard to get enough seats if you come with a group. I noticed a family group of 5 and 6 came in and were not able to get enough seats.
Pricing is fair I would say. It is for sure on a higher-priced side compared to other Vietnamese restaurants. However this restaurant is very unique in terms of dishes they servered. It's quite impossible to find another Viet restaurant that serve authentic Northern dishes such as grilled sausages, or marinated pock hoc.
Overall I totally recomend this restaurant if you want to try authentic northern cuisine. It was my first time trying it today and I was completely satisfied with my meal.
P/s: Vietnamese grilled sausage is only available from Fri to Sun as it is a part of the Weekends Special.
