💥 Welcome to my food sharing Instagram: jkgourmets. 欢迎游览我的美食IG: jkgourmets

In fact, we are not that hungry during our visit to the mall, but after reading the good reviews, we decided to give this Vietnam foods restaurant a try.

Yes, we are so glad to select this restaurant, especially we wish to give my elderly mum a simple surprise birthday celebration. The restaurant manager Mr. Khadendra was so warm and nice to make sure all of us 8 persons have good seats. And he help us keep the birthday cake we brought in good shape.

Mr. Khadendra encouraged us to join the free membership so that we got additional restaurant special coconut ice-cream cake for our birthday celebration.

As for their Vietnamese foods, it was so authentic with original taste and flavours. We order mostly on their popular pho beef or seafood noodles. The soup base was really good, not overly heavy taste but yet it was fragrance and sweet and light to eat with the tender yet soft slides beef.

First, the spicy clam in coconut broth with thick vermicelli was so fresh and sweet. And the Beef Noodle Special was one of popular dishes, come with premium raw beef, honeycomb tribe, and 100% pure beef ball, 12 hours slow cooked beef soup. It was delicious.

We are coming with empty stomach and we are so regret that not much varieties foods we ordered. Next time, we definitely revisit and order all the other authentic cuisines from savory foods like dry or soup beef noodles to bebeque meat or fresh spring rolls or popular Banh Mi bread to dessert and beverages especially their Vietnamese coffee.

Last but not least, a big Thank you to Mr. Khadendra for organizing his colleagues together to sing birthday songs for my mum and taking beautiful group photos for us. You definitely deserve a bonus from the boss.

I do highly recommend this restaurant to all, especially those who like Vietnamese cuisines and flavours. Reasonable food price, great top services. Believe you will enjoy your times...

The Pho Ga here has a truly authentic taste. The soup is slow-cooked with bones, without any seasoning or MSG, giving it a light yet rich bone broth flavor—completely free from artificial taste enhancers.

For those who are used to strong flavors or artificial seasonings, this might not be the best choice. However, if you appreciate the natural taste of well-prepared ingredients, this is definitely worth trying.

The dish is available in both set and à la carte options, with three noodle portion choices (100g, 150g, or 200g)—all at the same price, so you can choose according to your appetite. The soup is refillable, and fresh vegetables are available at a self-service station, with no extra charge.

Since it was my first visit, the waiter was kind enough to serve me, even though I was supposed to take the herbs, vegetables, lime chili sauce, and bean sprouts myself. I really appreciated this thoughtful gesture.

I also ordered lemongrass tea, which had a smooth and well-balanced flavor. Unlike many other places where the tea often tastes underdeveloped, this one felt properly steeped, giving it a “mature” and refined taste.

Besides that, I tried artichoke tea, which had a light floral note, somewhat similar to chrysanthemum tea. However, I’m not entirely sure if that’s accurate, since I had lemongrass ginger tea just before...

I had such a lovely experience dining at An Viet in The Gardens Mall! I tried the A05A Fresh Spring Roll with Tiger Prawn (RM10.90) and the A07 Gong Cai Crunchy Salad with Tiger Prawn (RM18.90) — and I genuinely enjoyed every bite.

The Gong Cai salad was very refreshing and incredibly appetizing. It had that perfect sweet and sour balance (slightly more sour, which I personally love!), and everything tasted fresh and vibrant. The spring roll was my favorite — light, clean, and bursting with the natural flavor of the prawn and herbs. Definitely something I’d reorder next time!

What made the experience even better was the outstanding service. Every staff member we met was friendly, polite, and genuinely attentive. They were always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed, but without being too much. Their warmth really made us feel welcomed — it’s rare to come across such positive energy from the entire team!

The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, and the atmosphere was relaxing — suitable for both casual meals and small gatherings. I can truly say I left feeling full and happy, both from the food and the service.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for delicious Vietnamese food with top-notch hospitality. 🌟
