Cons:

  • "Pho was okay, soft shell crab was incredibly salty. Small portions. Prawns were not fresh."

  • "The food is not only served in elegant style but also very tasty. You can also expect good service, too."
  • "Food ok, atmosphere ok yet expensive. We love pho and to be honest I had tastier than this place."
  • "The portion of chicken wing with foie gras was very small with only 3 pieces and without bones you lose the satisfaction of eating wings."

  • "Been there twice -- the first time everything was pretty much fantastic. Ended up not being served for nearly an hour."
