I spend time in Vietnam regularly. This has got to be the most authentic Vietnamese restaurant in KL so far, with an insanely extensive menu. Tried the crab broth noodles and octopus salad. Both excellent and close to what you find in Vietnam. Restaurant is run by Vietnamese staff, service is basic but functional. If all you care about is having your order taken, being served promptly, being charged correctly and efficiently, then you'll be fine. Shop could use better upkeep, but authenticity of the food makes up for it.
This is a full-fledged restaurant with a good assortment of dishes. Not your typical vietnamese "pho" restaurant. They have a lot of dishes beyond noodles and banh mi. We had pho, dry noodles (vermicelli with beef slices and lemongrass), spring roll, and grilled octopus. Didn't take pictures of everything * Pho is alright, could be more potent. * Dry vermicelli beef bowl is so good - full of vege and a good portion of meat. It's not spicy yet thoroughly flavourful. Can't discern the lemongrass taste though. * Spring roll, please please do try because the green sauce that comes with it is INCREDIBLE. * Grilled octopus is alright, it's grilled to be the dry type. The waiter was gracious to teach what sauce had to be eaten with what dish. If you're dropping by, make sure to have a good appetite because portions are generous. All in all, a good find! Will return to try others.
The food is very delicious, authentic Vietnamese flavor
