Cang Tin — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

I think this is my favorite Vietnamese spot in Buenos Aires. The owner is from Hue and moved here for Tango over 5 years ago - pretty cool story!

Everything from the seating to the utensils and the menu items screams Vietnam. The menu items also include some Thai dishes which is great if you're looking to sample both cuisines under one roof.

My friends and I got the dumplings, Pho, Bhan Xeo, Bun Cha and Pad Thai amongst us - we all enjoyed our meals and we had a bit of tasting eachothers' dishes and we all loved what we tasted.

Our group had all been to Hanoi or was from Hanoi so the Bun Cha was a little different from what we were used to - it's a dipping noodle dish but the Bun Cha we got was more of a single noodle dish. I think this was more of a fusion take on the dish but all the flavor components were there. Some challenges we found were securing fresh lemon grass which is what's used in the meatballs so I noticed that but overall this is as close to a Bun Cha can get flavor wise and am glad they have it on the menu!

At the end, we were told they have Vietnamese egg coffee!! We ordered a few and they were pretty good! Vietnamese egg coffee is pretty iconic and definitely a must-try if you haven't!

Overall I really like the vibe of this place and the owner was pretty cool to talk to. His has quite the personality and the ambience of the place reflects him.

They do random pop-up nights for other cuisine and I am definitely excited for the Malaysian one coming up! Highly...

My wife ordered dumplings as an appetizer. After we each popped one in our mouth and ate them we both thought something was off. We cut another one open to discover that the pork was raw! We called over a waiter who took them back. He apologized and asked if we wanted another order cooked this time. We declined. They felt bad and brought us more which we did not feel like eating. We also ordered Pad Thai and a chicken curry entrees. We have eaten LOTS of Thai food and these dishes did not live up to our experiences at superior Thai and Vietnamese restaurants. The Pad Thai's overwhelming flavor was sweet. There as no complexity of flavor and the shrimp was very dry. The curry was watery and also lacked much flavor. A Thai curry should have a creamy consistency because of the addition of coconut milk. There appeared to be little or no coconut milk in this curry. And there aught to be an interplay of sweeter coconut flavor with chili and curry spice. I could not taste coconut and the flavor that it had was bland. Strangest thing was that in the soupy "curry" were noodles. A thai curry is not a noodle dish, it should be served with rice. We left feeling sick from the dumpling experience and very disappointed in the overall quality of the food. I do not recommend...

I’ve been twice to this hip southeast Asian eatery. The first experience was 4 star. Food (dumplings, curry and mushroom dish) was really good but lacked a little bit of flavour probably to compensate for the average Argentinian’s hot spice intolerance. If spice is your thing ask them to prep it hot. 4 star is due to price and service, which I don’t think justifies 5 stars.

Second experience was 1 star. While in the middle of dining, a unknown liquid spilled right beside us, splashing us. Fortunately, we weren’t seated beneath the liquid but it was quite unpleasant and unexpected. Turns out the liquid was vinegar that spilled from a prep station above. Food wise, dumplings were great but the curry of the day, wasn’t really curry and the Singapore noodles were subpar. To top it off, they didn’t have any beer left on tap and their pre-made gin and tonic/vermouth cocktails are so so. Oh and there was strangely no desert left even though we were early. To top it off, we thought they might cover a dish or our inexpensive drinks for the inconvenience of the vinegar splash but that did not happen. As we say in Argentina, “desastre”. Definitely, would hesitate to return after that. The three stars are generous as I hope this...
