Vietnamese Street Kitchen — Restaurant in Muizenberg

The Problem

Restaurants or retailers often show a picture of the combo at double the amount (e.g., 20 sushi pieces pictured) while in text describing it as only 10 pieces. As a consumer, you look at the photo and reasonably assume that because of the BOGO, the pictured amount is what you’ll receive.

But in reality, you only get 20 pieces total (10 + 10 free), while the picture has primed you to expect 40. That disconnect feels misleading—especially when the price is high (e.g., R500 for 20 pieces instead of 40).

Why It’s Misleading • Visual expectation: Pictures are the strongest part of advertising. If you show 20 pieces in a BOGO ad, people naturally think, “Great, I’ll get 40!” • Text vs. image mismatch: Fine print can’t override the consumer’s first impression created by the photo. • Obligation in BOGO: Ethically (and in some jurisdictions legally), if you advertise “Buy One, Get One Free,” you should either: Show the single portion clearly, so people can imagine it doubled, OR Explicitly show both portions side by side to avoid confusion.

We had lunch at a cafe in Kalk Bay before coming here, so we only ordered a beef noodle soup (Pho Bo)and a basket of steamed prawn Siew Mai. The servers and the owner Ah Dong were very friendly and warm. They served a generous portion of sliced beef with rice noodles in clear broth c/w bean sprouts and mint leaves. The soup is light but not overly salty like most Chinese shops. The Siew Mai could be better if the dough skin was thinner with lesser veggies and more prawn meat. Hope to try the rest of the food on the...
