Once Is Enough

I wanted so much to love this restaurant because I’m a HUGE fan of Vietnamese food. However, besides the smiley and welcoming service that I thoroughly appreciated, the food and ambience was a let down.

My girlfriend and I tried Bun Cha (BBQ Pork with Rice Noodles) and Meatball Pho.

Meatball Pho:
The taste and texture of the meatballs tasted odd to me - tough and flat in texture. The soup and noodles were decent, not particularly outstanding.

Bun Cha:
The BBQ Pork had indistinct cuts containing mostly cartilages. It also chews like cardboard. The rice noodles came with a palm-sized portion (Not a great choice if you’re famished)! Having lived in Hanoi before and also hopping around various Vietnamese restaurants in Singapore, this Bun Cha was definitely the least substantial.

Ambience:
It lacked ventilation (came out of the restaurant smelling like BBQ). The interior design and music choice was also questionable - very religious in nature. The air conditioning was also weak and I was sweating at the end of my meal!

There’s a long way to go for this restaurant and I hope that it only gets better from here. Perhaps its other dishes are better? Try at your own discretion.
