The outstanding feature of the dishes here is to keep the natural sweetness of the ingredients, not too fat or too much spice.

Excellent

26 Reviews

Located just a street off a busy road and secluded. The environment felt slightly tropical. Service was excellent, the dishes were served promptly and staff were responsive to needs/questions.

English was good. The menu is self explanatory. Prices were extremely fair for the quality. Tried numerous dishes and all were excellent.

Higher recommend trying if you are into quality food with a unique twist of lotus root.

Very Good

8 Reviews

The central theme of the menu is the Lotus, which happens to be delicious, if you have not tried it. We ordered 5 dishes for 3 of us because the portions are sensible, but small by US standards. It was also difficult to decide since it all looked so good. All of the dishes were terrific and the highlight of sach was a unique sauce. Their sous is a wizard. This is my fist time to have the vegetarian options, of which there are many, outshine the meat dishes. The only drawback is we got their a bit late and a couple items were sold out...bad for us but a good sign for the place. The food is a bit expensive by Hanoi standards, but still not expensive for the quality. The garden decor is a bonus, making for a fairly spacious dining experience compared to many other places in the city.
