What guests tell us

We came for one bowl of phở and stayed for three courses. Someone explained every dish without us asking twice.

I am vegetarian and I usually go hungry in Hanoi. Here half the menu was mine, and it was the best food of the trip.

Booked the upstairs room for my father's birthday. They remembered he does not eat chilli. Small thing, big deal.
