A neon-soaked, cinematic 'bia hơi' canteen where Wong Kar-Wai aesthetics meet inventive Vietnamese drinking food.
Ordering Strategy
Embrace the 'bia hơi' (drinking culture) vibe by ordering 5-6 small plates to share between two people rather than traditional courses.
What to order
Bò Lá Lốt (Betel Leaf Beef)
These 'well-knit beef patties' feature a 'medicinal' betel leaf spice and a 'thrillingly unfamiliar' coffee-laden barbecue sauce that The Evening Standard praised.
Mussels with Lemongrass and Mint
One of the 'bigger' plates on the menu, these arrive 'cheerfully reeking' of herbs and were gulped down by critics with 'swivel-eyed hunger.'
Bánh Tráng Trộn (Rice Paper Salad)
A 'rich and sweet' nest of beef jerky and green mango that offers a 'contradiction' of textures, being 'both comfortingly soft and bracingly crisp.'
Mashed Prawn Lollipop
A 'triumphant' dish of mashed prawn worked around a 'finger of sugar cane' and coated in puffed rice, providing an 'in-built honeyed palette cleanser.'
