Oi Hanoi

We came in for a quick meal on a Saturday night but ended up not being so quick. When we ordered, two of the three dishes we wanted they were out of. So we had to order something else, which was fine, plenty to choose from on the menu. This was all fine until they came up stairs 20 minutes later and said two more of the things we ordered were also out. Why wouldn’t you say that when we were ordering? All of this really made the possibly 30 minute meal take nearly 2 hours. Luckily, the chef care upstairs and apologized, saying they were understaffed two nights. This was a nice gesture, but it still would’ve been nice to know what we were ordering was not available ahead of time.
Aside from that, the food was really to die for. I can’t think of Phở that I have had which was so good in quite some time. Nice to see the different variety of beers also. Though, I think 5£ for one is a little steep. 4£ might be a little more reasonable.
Hopefully I’ll have time to go back again in the next week or so and see if the service is better. It still might be worth the wait because the food was so good.

Ein kleines, aber feines Vietnamesisches Restaurant. Eher die Größe eines Imbiss’ aber
sehr leckere und authentische Gerichte! Man bestellt am Thresen und bezahlt dann auch gleich. Das Essen wird dann kurze Zeit später zum Tisch gebracht. Zum überbrücken der Wartezeit wird eine Kanne grüner Tee spendiert! Das Essen hatte die richtige Schärfe und der Geschmack war hervorragend. Sehr empfehlenswert!

9 pounds for a bowl of rice and meat or phở. I got the pulled pork over brown rice which was very tasty (might have also been because this was my first meal of the day after having taken a redeye flight to London). Casual and hipster vibe.
