The restaurant is pretty authentic. The moment I saw bún măng vịt (bamboo with duck noodle soup) on the menu, I knew I have to visit this restaurant to try it out. And it did not disappoint. I love how much duck they gave me; it was definitely a big portion for me. I like the broth, the bamboo was soft and well cooked. We also ordered Bún Bò Huế (spicy beef noodle soup) and it was also very good with full toppings, pork blood cube, pork hocks, sausage,… The broth for BBH was a bit too beefy for me, so I definitely put a lot of lime to make it a bit more “subtle” (idk how to describe it but you should try it). We ordered Bò Lá lốt for appetizers and it was also de.li.cious. Overall, recommended!
We sat at a table with 4 seats, 3 of the 4 chairs had massive holes right in the center of the chair. It was super uncomfortable.
Food was decent, a bit pricey for what it was worth, actually. We both ordered (different) vermicelli noodle bowls with egg rolls. The egg rolls were not that great, had a strange sourness to it. Go to Spring Roll House in International District for egg rolls!
We also ordered the chicken wings from the appetizer menu (picture posted). Those were really good. It was like Korean Fried Chicken, Vietnamese style. It had a sweet fish sauce glaze slathered over it. Crispy, sticky, sweet, and savory. Only complaint is the price. The wings were pretty small and it was $13/6 wings. I was expecting 6 FULL wings for that.
Overall, my experience was okay. It was nice that there was zero wait, but it was a pretty pricey lunch!
