Went there a couple of weeks ago and still remember it, amazing experience! The food was absolutely incredible: fresh, full of flavor, and beautifully prepared. Everything we tried was delicious. The owner was extremely kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. On top of that, the place itself is very cute and cozy, with a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend this restaurant if you’re in York!
We came to York for Christmas and were craving Vietnamese food, so we stopped by this restaurant to eat pho and shrimp cakes. The food tasted amazing and reminded us of home.
The place is nice and cosy. Portions are huge (good value for money). The menu has a lot of vegan options. Flavours are very original and unusual and we loved trying them. The dishes were a little too heavy. The service was a little off: the waitress seemed annoyed and they made a mistake with our order. On the other hand they quickly changed it when we told them.
A cosy restaurant with a friendly owner. We were very disappointed with the flavours. The summer rolls were expensive for what they were and lacked freshness, flavour and ingredients. Yes the Pho, was a big portion, the soup was a delicious flavour but there were no vegetables or fresh herbs. It was just a bowl of noodles. We lived in Asia and have travelled in Vietnam and it was unfortunately not the authentic experience that we were expecting.
Visited as part of the York Restaurant Week. The food was tasty but not anything special, and good veggie options. We ended up getting our order mixed up but didn’t want to complain about it, as it was still tasty. Would come back to try some other positions from the main menu.
