越河 (已結業)

走到去西环尾一带找吃，本来的目标，是某女歌手在面书专页推介的鸡饭，去到加多近街，给我看见这间越南小店越河，便三心两意，最后，放弃了鸡饭，转上去火车头。越河的英文名为Cadogan Pho，沿用了加多近街的名字，这碗卖＄45的火车头，有生熟牛肉以外，还有金钱肚，牛丸，牛腩，牛柏叶。吃越式牛河最重要的，是汤底，如果做得不好，一切也枉然。没有下任何香草的火车头，已经有点不对劲，尝一口汤，味道很淡，牛味只是蜻蜓点水，完全欠缺那种清香感觉。就算牛肉，牛柏叶的质素还不错，也不能挽回汤底的缺失。想到在我家附近，北帝街的那一间越南小店，其牛河的汤底，芳香醇厚，好过这间越河多倍。…查看更多

I've noticed that all of the reviews on Open Rice for this shop are in Chinese, except one, which is partially in Chinese, and clearly from a local HK Chinese.Perhaps local tastes differ.As a foreigner with a taste for both freshness and flavor, I can say that among the dozen or so casual Vietnamese restaurants I've tried in Hong Kong, Cadogan Pho is consistently the best. Their beef Pho has a superb flavor, accented as it should be, by plenty of basil and fresh onion, in addition to decent beef (best taken raw/rare and allowed to warm in the soup). Salads are superb.Their menu is extensive, offering plenty of salads (recommend the green papaya salad as well as the pomelo salad), snacks and dozens of kinds of noodle choices, all at reasonable prices (not super cheap and by no means not expensive).I can't eat at this shop without ordering the delicious and beautiful shrimp rice paper rolls. Our other, new, local Vietnamese restaurant doesn't even have this on the menu.Unlike some other casual Viet/Thai restaurants, the lime soda tastes fresh, not too sweet, and not at all artificial.Tables are standard HK noodle shop style with foldable stools. For a tiny shop, this is acceptable.Service is very good, always with a smile.Only problem I have is that as as internet addict, I'm annoyed by the low cell phone reception and no wi-fi in the shop.…查看更多

继 25 号晚系邻街 吉X 有被揾笨 feel 后, 又一激气之作 26 号 下午茶时间, 饥肠辘辘, 见此店已开业数载, 食物应有一般水平, 一试无妨挂 !!!见 MENU 上有 写明 纽西兰咖哩羊扒, 便立即 order 一客跟饭, 另加 三色冰, 龙眼冰 及 蒜蓉麭 各一.转头待应回覆话无羊扒, 问羊件可以吗, OK, 羊件亦啖啖肉, 都好.上桌的却是羊脯, 入口轫, 亦冇味, 咖哩亦乏善足陈, 另加生硬饭身, 简直一绝.蒜蓉麭 麭身太薄, 再加烘过头, 变成 蒜蓉饼干 三色冰 味道一般, 惟入面的粉条真的很粉, 唔知系原材料或煲的时间不足 !!!龙眼冰 只有糖水味.向待应投诉, 为何 羊脯 充 羊件, 收费却一样, 点知投诉接受, 态度依旧, 承惠 $84.一肚气, 绝无下次 ! …查看更多

突然兴起想吃越式的汤河粉，这食品在香港要找也不难，可惜佳品难寻，以过往的经验，较像样的有吴老板主理的「金宝」，其余的多是失望而回，素知大坑那两间是当今公认最佳的出品，可惜价钱偏高，也未有心理准备前往，辗转得知在西环有一间「越河」，价钱相宜而若有口碑，更得到殿堂级的食友推介，无妨一试。乘坐电车往西环的加多近街出发，那天没带地图，原来位于西环的尾段，要多走一些冤枉路才到达，属于小店的格局，大部份常见的越南食品也可在此找到，菜牌内的火车头约三十余元，不算昂贵，除叫了一碗之余，也点多一客越式春卷，试其小吃高低。端上来的火车头，未上桌也飘来阵阵香气，印象已佳。喝一口汤头，味道也真鲜味，虽然咸了一点点，也属无伤大雅之事，这汤头下了一点心机无容置疑，是否上佳的出品倒是见仁见智。吃的是幼身的金边粉，入口未算滑，配料有生牛片、熟牛腩、牛丸、牛栢叶等，胜在样样也有，除汤头香味之外，整体未见突出。小插曲一段，自己身后的一台客，也点了一碗汤河，赞其味道却嫌份量不够，侍者刚好见到，主动加添汤头，看在眼里，虽然没有要求加添，也属一种体贴的行为。春卷倒是不错，网状的米纸炸得脆身，内有各式的菜蔬、粉丝和肉碎等，不油而香口，加上四块「剪裁」得合适的生菜片，配合味道不俗的鱼露，吃得甚为合意。青柠梳打水加了金柚上去，无疑多了一股清新的感觉，埋单属七十余元，价钱取道合理，只是那碗Pho仍然不合心意，临走还有一点儿口渴，看来要一试龙凤，都是要去大坑一躺好了。…查看更多
