Phu Quoc Island Vietnamese Restaurant is a newly opened Singaporean/Thai/Vietnamese Restaurant located on the 2nd floor at Times Square.
If you have been to the previous several Vietnamese restaurants in this location, you will find the layout and the decoration is basically very similar. Phu Quoc did refreshened it up and give it a brighter look.
There are quite a few interesting items on the menu that is quite unique which you might not find in other Vietnamese restaurants. So worth giving it a try and be a little adventurous aside from eating Pho all the time.
Vietnamese Style Duck Leg Noodle ($7.50) with a light aroma of orange peel and the duck leg was prepared like a confit. Here you can see the influence of "Chinese" and "French" in Vietnamese cuisine. Duck Leg was so so...
Vietnamese Style Deep Fried Chicken Wings in Tamarind Sauce ($6.50) was pretty good value with 5 whole wings in an order. The wings itself was quite meaty. I enjoyed the sourness of tamarind which kind of balance the oiliness. The meat inside though a little bland. Maybe if the wings can be marinated a little?
For their Grand Opening Special, they do offers 10% off. We also offered a little appetizer to munch on and some dessert at the end of the meal.
Maybe I was having a high expectation with those 5 star review. But for me definitely an A-OK and I would be coming back to try out other dish and even Pho and other Noodle Soup.
