Tam Viet — Restaurant in Hong Kong

Refreshing Vietnamese cuisine complements sizzling summer days. Tam Viet, located 3 mins from Wan Chai station, is a intimate restaurant headed by a chef who comes from Northern Vietnam.

Grilled Beef Salad $58 Good amount of grilled beef cubes on top of mixed veggies and cashew nuts. The beef was seared nicely on the outside and nicely flavored.

Vietnamese Avocado Salad $58 Also big portion. Served with shrimps. Very creamy avocado with cucumber, boiled eggs, cherry tomatoes and cashews. The salad dressing was fresh and zesty. Yummy.

Raw Beef Pho (Tea Set) $43 They have different tea sets including pho, sandwiches and rice. The beef broth was clear and savory without MSG. Garnished with fresh basil, chili and lime. The bean sprouts and onions inside the bowl added more texture to the bánh phở rice noodles.

Lemon Grass Pork Chop +$28 It’s written “small portion” but it wasn’t small at all! Bone-in pork chop. Golden brown and crisp on the outside. Perfectly seasoned.

Vietnam Drip Coffee +$20 Very intense and aromatic coffee. I poured very little condensed milk to add sweetness. Such an energy boost!

Overall food was good. You may also order by scanning the QR code which is convenient. The food wasn’t served all at once so I could enjoy at my pace. One of the best deals in the Wan Chai...

Staff were not Chinese but some spoke fluent Chinese & they were quite casual but friendly.

Fried spring rolls were a bit dried inside but tasted still ok. Prices were generally quite affordable. Ox brisket curry tasted milder than HK style curry but overall balanced with fresh herbs, I quite like it but the meat was a bit rough. Sour soup noodle with fish cakes tasted good. Went again for lunch with different dishes. Crab tomato pho tasted ok but not that rich & flavorful, good portion of ingredients. Special priced drinks & snacks to add on the lunch dish. Fried spring rolls & shrimp cakes tasted good. Indeed very good value for...

Viet lemongrass grilled pork with rice: The lemongrass pork doesn’t have a strong lemongrass taste. There were a lot of fats too. It was served warm and not hot, as if it was just reheated when we ordered it. The egg was cold and so salty.

The vietnamese spring rolls were also served warm. It says that there were 2 servings, but 2 servings of spring rolls in their definition means 1 spring roll cut in half.

The avocado smoothie was ok but it was blended with...
