VIET’S KITCHEN - Havelock — Restaurant in Colombo

My recent dining experience at this establishment left me with a mixed bag of impressions.

The main dishes were okay, and the pricing was reasonable, which is always a plus. However, I couldn't help but notice that the prices for the side dishes seemed a bit off-kilter. It's worth reconsidering the balance to ensure a more consistent and fair pricing structure.

The ambiance of the place left room for improvement. Adding a touch of aesthetics and making the atmosphere more inviting could significantly enhance the overall dining experience. First impressions matter, and a more esthetically pleasing environment could go a long way.

On a positive note, the staff was helpful, which added to the overall positive aspects of the visit. Friendly and attentive service can often compensate for other shortcomings.

I found that experimenting with various sauces and additional toppings enhanced the flavors of the dishes. It might be worth encouraging patrons to explore these options to make their dining experience more flavorful.

In conclusion, while the main dishes were satisfactory and the staff was helpful, there's room for improvement in terms of pricing, ambiance, and perhaps encouraging patrons to explore additional flavor options. With a few adjustments, this place could elevate its appeal and become a more inviting dining...

Food was really good, we tried glass noodles with crab meat and chicken fried rice. Glass noodle dish was really good, although the crab couldn't be distinguished from the scrambled egg, from the texture and the taste I can say it was there. Frid rice was good and had a smokey flavor. The more you eat the more you grow to like it. Apart from that, we ordered mango juice and strawberry mojito. Mango could have a little bit more sugar. Probably it was prepared entirely with mango. Nothing to complain about the mojito though. They need to wipe the dishes when they serve them. I mean it was clean, but the food was splattered on the brim of the plate, specially noticable on the noodle dishes. Service was good, but it took some time to prepare our order. Atmosphere could be improved by a lot. There are random stuff laying near the counter and that wall lacks the character all the other walls have. Anyway it was not a complain but a thing they can improve. Parking space is limited near the restaurant, but you can find parking down the road. Overall I was...

The food here is excellent!! Having been to Vietnam the taste was really authentic - some restaurants tweak the taste to cater to locals taste but not here. We ordered dry mix chicken noodles - which I highly recommend (portion is perfect for one person), beef soup noodles - also great but large portion was too much for one person and tried the beef roll starter (sorry forgot the correct name). We missed egg coffee which is very unique in Vietnam, it wasn’t in the menu but she made it for us and it was soooo good! They should add in the menu and introduce to people! Place was clean, spacious enough and toilets were also clean.

My only concern was that we could see the people who were cooking and not everyone in the kitchen was wearing a head cap and the person who cleaned our table was not...
