Hanoi Old Quarter Restaurant — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Visiting Amsterdam and craving some warm pho on a rainy day. They were extremely busy that Saturday evening so I’m glad I called ahead to reserve a large table for 6. We really wanted to try everything unfortunately they were not able to make all of their menu items like salads, spring rolls, and bo la lot because they were so busy. But their pho chin (brisket) made up for it. Nice tender slices of beef brisket and very good broth. $3 extra for additional meats/meatballs. The crispy chicken eggrolls were really good too. A little pricey for pho but expected in Europe. The service was nice and welcoming as well. This place definitely hits the spot for pho seekers. I found my pho spot...

Pho-nomenal! Warm homely vibes and excellent food with very welcoming service with a big smile. I had the beef pho with red wine, carrots and herbs. Noodles are slightly thicker than I expected, but the soup was rich in flavour and the best part was the BEEF! Very generous thick slabs of beef, more than 2 of my palms combined and far thicker, and very tasty. The tendon was slow-cooked to melt-in-the-mouth perfection. I'm not usually a fan of beef but this was divine. Definitely worth a visit and next time I would love to try their spring rolls and authentic Vietnamese egg...

Food was ok. The summer rolls were alright. My pho was very bland and didn't taste like much. Poor service. The waitress delivered the bill to our table over half an hour before their closing time while we were still eating. When we asked for a take away box they just said no without any further explanation and took the plates away before we were finished eating. They kept the entrance door open while it was 0 degrees outside and made us leave. It is very expensive for what you get and I'll definitely won't be back after such...
