Great Food. We ordered Grilled beef in Bamboo Tube, Braised Tofu, and Shirmp Tempura. Everything tastes good. Also their smoothies and fresh juices. Kuddos to the service of the staffs especially Kim Anh. She's very nice and communicates well in english.
Nice place! Strongly recommend! The service is really good. Really appreciate Tom’s and Tron’s help. Tron showed me how to make a spring roll and helped me to scroll them all. The food tastes great! I recommend Chả Cá Lã Vọng 🐟(Fish Spring Roll), Rau muống xào tỏi🥬 (Stir-fried water spinach with garlic) and Trà sen (Lotus tea) 🍵
One of the best places we've eaten! Old Vietnam Restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious food choices, and the ambiance is warm, relaxing, and beautifully designed. What made our experience even more memorable was the excellent service. Ms. Kim was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. Her hospitality made us feel truly valued. We are very happy with our dining experience and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and outstanding service.
excellent service from the young female waitress in bunned up hair! she came to demonstrate to me how to eat the dish and explained gently. wanted to give 5* but there was a hair in my friend’s food so i have to be honest and cant. the same waitress also handled this incident very well, she cancelled the dish and let my friend pick another main course free of charge. 👍 very professional service recovery. she is also very nice and sent us off at the door with a smile ❤️
