I was disappointed with my salmon fillet. Looked fine on the plate but after the first bitter bite I turned it over to find the underside a thick layer of charcoal. The rest of the meal was fine but nothing special. The summer rolls were 90% rice noodles. The management were friendly and apologetic and gave a complimentary set of rolls.
I love this place! Really nice and attentive service, they are kind and good at their job. The decor is amazing and has a great vibe. The food is phenomenal!! Very delicious I loved the rice paper rolls and the tofu bun(?). Will definitely come back and bring friends 🙂
Food: Bun bo hueIf you like things hot, this spicy noodle soup will require extra chilli. The broth had beautifully strong flavours, but lacked the kick we wanted without asking for a little something. They are generous with their meat here too which is a plus.3.8/5Melt in your mouth pork belly and egg with salad and tomato and egg soup.So good, so homey, so classic. This dish was the Tuesday special, accompanied by a crunchy salad and tomato and egg soup. The pork belly was fatty, it’s broth great for sprinkling over the rice, and just so reminiscent of something you would eat at home. Save the tomato and egg soup as a palate cleanser!4.3/5Combination rollsThese were wrapped so perfectly, that nothing spilled when we dipped into the tangy sauces. The fresh spring rolls were divinely fresh, and the fried spring rolls had this great texture that you won’t find at a typical Asian restaurant. We could have ordered another batch!4.5/5Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk (iced)Dumpling likes his Vietnamese coffee with a strong coffee aroma, whereas Panda likes it with a bit more condensed milk. This place serves the former. Great stuff.4/5Ambience:Situated on the famous foodie Cuba Street, Saigon Van Grill Bar hosts an intimate Vietnamese restaurant with touches of chic French influence. We were the only customers at the time, however it felt warm and welcoming nonetheless.Service:Our waitress was friendly and attentive, going the extra mile to make sure we had enough plates and bowls for sharing dishes. Lovely hospitality here.
Went here for lunch – had the soft shell crab in rice, a few summer rolls & a tasty cocktail. This pl is very good . has cheap lunch specials on offer. Nice service & decor.
This is a nice, clean place to eat. Food is very tasty, dishes have éample portion and reasonable price. Staff are friendly and service is great.
I have passed this place many times but yesterday was the very first time to go in and have a dinner.Good things are: the building is a historic one. Nice interior. Pho was good and the waiter was attentive.Can’t find fault but was not fantastic.To be improved: the entrance is confusing. Which door I should open to go in? Music was a bit loud and noisy.This place can do much better by removing barriers for bypasses to go in. Make the entrance more inviting.
Had a delicious meal here with friends. Chicken curry was my pick of the night, it had a really good strong flavour of lemon grass and so easy too share, as the chicken is cut in small pieces.The vegetarian salad was also good, the texture of the cabbage and the tofu worked really well together. Decor smart casual is great for any occasion.Only negative was we were not told from the outset that they had run out of certain dishes and there website shows only their dunedin menu. Which states they are byo (not true to Wellington) and has different dishes available, which we would have liked to try.
