Halong Vietnamese Restaurant — Restaurant in Whau

We have been coming here ever since we became Westies - almost 18 years - it's a great place to come if you want swift service and a good feed for a reasonable price. More Vietnamese-Chinese fusion but they have many Viet style dishes and other Chinese fusion dishes. We can't make a visit without getting the crispy pork - 2 slabs of Chinese style pork with fatty crackling my hubby just can't turn it down. The pho, bun cha and beef stew are good Viet style and other dishes are various soups or stir fried dishes with proteins that you can choose your choice of noodle from flat rice noodle, thick round rice vermicelli or egg noodle so good choices for the wheat intolerant. They serve a bowl of stock on the side that is so soul reviving I imagine a big tub of just that would be the cure-all if you have a cold or hangover. You get complimentary Chinese tea on arrival but they have lots of fancy Asian shakes to choose from that almost look like a meal in themself. Can't go without making a visit at least...

I was not told the price when I asked for extra beef. I don’t know how asking for extra beef amounts to $14 and who would want to willingly pay that much. Will not be...

Aweful! Food looked like quickly microwaved and served in 5 minutes. I ordered the shrimps and they stunk like off. No flavor, bland, terrible presentation, nothing but shrimps in water mixed with noodles, my grandchildren could've made a better effort! my colleagues ordered pork and chicken, was dry and no sauce delivered with the meal,there faces were shocked on delivery of thier meals, Was the worst restaurant I've ever been too. Shocking and actually embarrassing that anyone can serve food looking like that. Highly disappointed for the price. Should be closed down in my opinion unsure how they have a...
