  Vietnamese with surprises

  Current

  This restaurant is full of charm: the decoration is made of (pseudo?) ancient woods that gives a very special atmosphere to the different rooms. Staff is friendly, but what surprised me most was the prices on the menu. If the plates are not overloaded, the portions are fine and the prices in comparison quite low. The food is very tasty, and extensive in flavours and diversity. If you are into asian food and happen to be around, I would strongly recommend to have a try.

  Cool & Swanky, Airy & Elegant

  Current

  Cool mat black decor on the outside and smoked glass windows hide a treasure trove, two-floored restaurant that you won't forget in a hurry. The welcoming door-mat outside is a tongue-shaped version of the Chinese longevity symbol that draws you into the refreshing feng-shui ambiance. On top of the wooden steps is golden horde of prosperity gods, placed their not just because they look cool. Whoever designed this place takes the art of placement very seriously. This joint is classy. With a borderline fantasy decor to match. It doesn't shriel style it has style. The lunchtime menu is good, prices reasonable. Even if the nosh has MSG. The authentic Vietnamese approach to the food comes through in the subtle things like the use of herbs. Many of which don't have english names and are grown in the back or imported specially. This is a great recharge place. And also not that well known that you have to queue. Has all the class of the Wolseley without the clatter. Portions are good. Food, fresh and darn fine even with the addition of MSG. If you want to take yourself briefly to another world - this is the place for you. The staff were light and bubbly, well dressed and informal. Oh ... and the multi map is slightly off base - it's on the other side of the street.
