Came here for lunch on a Saturday at around 12, got a table right away without waiting. The challenge is not to get a table but to get a parking space here in Tai Hang!Ambiance ： Casual dining with a Vietnamese touch, with the ceiling fan and pictures of Vietnam, bicycle decoration and so on, overall laid back and comfy. First we had the signature combination pho : The broth is the soul to any decent pho, the broth here is not bad but the flavour from the spices was a bit too strong for me and

First we had the signature combination pho : The broth is the soul to any decent pho, the broth here is not bad but the flavour from the spices was a bit too strong for me and lacked the sweetness from the beef bones. I would rate it 6/10 for the broth. As for the noodles, like so many Vietnamese restaurants in HK, the noodles were too thick and did not have the aromatic flavour from the rice as one would get in Vietnam. For HK standard, the noodles were okay, but comparing to the noodles in Vietnam, the noodles were disappointing. The portion was generous with beef balls, slices of beef, beef tendons (which was very tender by the way) and beef tripes.

Next we had the steam rice roll, this was very well made - the rice roll was thin and silky , the stuffing inside (which was carrot, black fungus and minced pork) was well seasoned, topped with deep fried shallots, spring onion and Chinese parsley, which added aroma and complexity to the dish.

We also had deep fried butter chicken wings, a staple in most Vietnamese restaurants. The chicken wings were well seasoned and not too oily but the coating and the crumbs were a bit too hard, which made it less crunchy. Not a must have item.

Our last dish was grilled pork banh hoi , banh hoi is rice vermicelli cakes. The rice vermicelli cakes here had been slightly pan fried which made it more aromatic. The grilled pork was well seasoned and succulent. Typically banh hoi is served with fresh herbs but here, they serve it with slices of pineapple and starfruit which I thought was very refreshing, especially in this hot weather, and the fruit matched well with the grilled pork. Perhaps it would also have been nice to have some fresh herbs too, but even without it, the dish was still beautiful.

Overall we thought that the rice flour / noodles based dishes like the steamed rice rolls and banh hoi were of high quality for HK standards.
Would also recommend to try the Vietnamese coffee here, but just be mindful that the coffee comes with condense milk, so it might be better to ask for the condense milk to be served on the side for those of you who doesn't like their coffee too sweet.
