Try It Out Vietnamese Restaurant — Restaurant in Howick

Was craving Try it Out tonight and this place is delicious always, no exception tonight either. However, halfway into eating my mixed vermicelli noodle dish (one of my faves) I found a medium length black hair in my food. I don’t ever like to be ‘that guy’. I paused, took a drink of water and called the waitress over (her service was brilliant) she was apologetic and returned my plate to the kitchen, she came and asked if I’d like another bowl at which I said, no thank you. Upon going up to the counter to pay for the rest of our food I was approached by the owner, Andy Huyen who had no issue blaming me for putting the hair in the dish. He said that he knew people like me (stereotyping) implying the reason I did so was so that I didn’t need to pay for my meal. I said that wasn’t the issue and offered to pay for it numerous times to which he refused. He continued to accuse me, even when offering to pay. I am dissappointed, I love Try it Out and have been a loyal customer of theirs for years. In the end, paid for my dish and left and Andy still had the nerve to accuse me as I was walking out of purposely putting the hair in my dish even after he took my money. Will be a while before I visit this branch again. Absolutely...

An off road Vietnamese restaurant. It has a seating capacity of over 20 tables and can rearrange into smaller tables. Lunch time was full and customers slowly join in to fill up leaving happy belly customers. It serves traditional soupy noodles dishes & each is served with a nice little fresh yellow head green bean sprout and a slice of lemon to enhance its soup flavour. I had a BIG bowl of rice noodle soup (80% hot soup) accompanied by a crispy fried chicken thigh with drumstick. Hot Soup was so welcoming, it took away the cold winter chill. You can spice up with little red chilies and soya sauce. A pot of hot jasmine tea was just right to finished off a good hearty lunch meal. Owner had great PR skills of recognising & greeting...

My friends and I dined here last July 24, and we had a great experience! The place was clean and well-kept, the staff were super friendly, and the food was served really fast. We arrived around 6 PM for an early dinner, and everything came out fresh and hot in no time.

The seafood fried rice was absolutely delicious — it was packed with fresh seafood and full of flavor. The beef ball noodles were also a standout — generous portions of meat and beef balls, no weird smell, just pure goodness! And the fried chicken wings? They hit differently — crispy, juicy, and seasoned just right.

We all enjoyed the food and service so much. I’m definitely coming back and will recommend this...
