Positive User: Delicious Vietnamese food near Bangkok Royal Palace.
The restaurant is small so you should book before going there.
They serve a variety of Vietnamese dishes that can be easily shared with friends. Each of them were very good.
The service was good and quick.
Positive User: Delicious Vietnamese food in contemporary atmosphere. We tried several dises and all of them were great. The space is not large so be prepared to get the queue. Plus, the restaurant is awarded for Michelin 2018 guide, that makes the restaurant get more reputation. Tips: be hungry and be there early to get the queue!
Positive User: Delicious food at reasonable price. The presentation is beautiful so you can easily get that perfect Instagram shot. The restaurant is very small and we were informed by the server that reservation is recommended for peak hours. The decor and ambiance is lovely however, made for very intimate dining experience

Positive User: Stumble across this place while exploring river Arun. Located at one of the alley. I had the spicy beef noodle. Omg it taste so comforting! The soup is very flavourful! Their spring roll is so crispy! Super recommend this place. My 3rd fav food I had in my 6 days at bkk. Rated 4 stars coz the staff is not friendly.
Positive User: Tried out this Michelin bib restaurant which is located just behind Wat Pho. The place was packed during saturday dinner service even when they have 2 floors of seating areas. So, better book a table before coming. Ordered a bunch of food for sharing. Shrimp wrapped in egg roll sheets, prawn grilled on sugar cane sticks, pho bo, pho ga & bahn hoi. All of them are nicely done. The taste is very clean and natural, which at the same time flavourful. Service is quick, and the kitchen last order is by 8pm.
Positive User: Small restaurant but the food was good. The price wasn’t as expensive as I thought and the taste was amazing. I booked a table beforehand so it was pretty convenient. However, the parking was quite hard to find. I had to park at the navy and walk 10 minutes. Otherwise, everything was great!

Neutral User: Expecting too much, tasteless beef pho Overall, it’s not suitable for the price. I understand that it’s in a tourist zone with a lot of tourists. The restaurant on the 2nd floor is very dark. The atmosphere is like… the noodles are delicious.
Neutral User: *Edited my previous disappointed review*
I went today with a friend and found the staff friendly and the food quite reasonably priced. Not the best Vietnamese food I’ve had in Bangkok, but ok. The Bún chả only came with one skewer which was a little less than expected and the condiments weren’t the same as in Vietnam. My friend enjoyed the Phở Bò, but I found it a little lacking in that deep flavour that makes it such a wonderful dish.
Neutral User: Not the best, and quite expensive

Negative User: Good food, terrible service.
All food is delicious, fresh vegetables, good quality.
But how do you get a Michelin every year? I’m so confused, the service is so bad…
No parking Must park at the Royal Navy Club It is a long walk and the path is quite dark and dangerous for women. (Parking fee for the first hour is 30, then 20 per hour after that. Cannot be stamped at the store) or the area near Wat Pho, which is closer, which is always full.
The atmosphere of the second floor shop is like a horror movie. There was a very musty smell of cockroaches. It’s like an old porridge shop with a rotting shophouse. If you don’t want to spoil the atmosphere but want to eat delicious food, I recommend ordering from Line Man.
Employees do not have a service mind. There was a Chinese person sitting and playing a loud clip in the shop. Notified to go in and warn him because he was disturbing people who were eating. but didn’t do anything

Negative User: When we arrived and sat at our table, the staff told us that we only have 1 hour to finish our meal. I was like… are we eating a moo-ka-ta 299 THB buffet?? I know your restaurant is super popular and you try to have as many rounds as possible. But such condition must be informed upon making reservation! If you just accept the reservation and only inform customer when they arrive. This is BS!
When we paid, I asked for a tax invoice. They didn’t give me! Only cash receipt. You do such a successful business but avoiding taxation?
Negative User: Salted food, not delicious, I won’t come back. Staff was not really welcoming
Negative User: It quite too long for waiting but the food…just so so not good + service very poor, a waitress at the front not friendly and helpful.
