"The ‘soul of Saigon’ cocktail was strong in flavour and alcohol content and was pleasing. Service was friendly and accommodating we asked for chilli, extra rice paper sheets and were accommodated. 1. Unfortunately flavours were not entirely authentic; the correct herbs were provided in the dishes but not in the volume expected from a Vietnamese person and chilli had to be requested. The banh cuon was already doused in dipping sauce that was far too salty. Pho tai the beef was overcooked (it should have been raw as per its name ‘tai’ and did not taste nice, there was not much of it either. The broth lacked flavour and was sprinkled with pepper; I have never seen this before. Hoisin and chilli (siracha sauce were not provided with the pho dishes. The noddles were not fresh. We did not finish the broth. The com tam had very dry and over salted meat. 2. Portions for all 9 dishes ordered were very small despite their prices. We left hungry and stumbled into a pizza place afterward. The pho cuon consisted of 2 prawns sliced into thin pieces, 2 small strips of beef the length of an index finger, herbs, lettuce and 2 thin slices of pineapple to wrap up in 2 rice paper sheets. The three mien cuon comprised of 6 small pieces of 3 different rice paper rolls, which equated to 1.5 full rice paper rolls for 10 Euros, which is absurd. The banh xeo and banh cuon were a fraction of the size they should be."
