The food was easily the standout — we ordered the Fresh Spring Rolls, Crapy Squid for entrees and Red Curry and Vietnamese Curry for mains, and both the mains were packed with flavour, nicely balanced, and had a satisfying kick of spice 🌶️. Definitely dishes I’d go back for.
That said, the overall dining experience didn’t quite match the quality of the food. The restaurant is set in an older villa, which gives it character, but it also felt quite cold inside. Without proper heating, it got uncomfortable — I wasn’t even wearing socks and my feet were freezing most of the time, which distracted from the meal.
In short: fantastic food, but the ambiance and warmth could use some attention to make the experience more enjoyable.
