NOTE: This review is for THUAN’s Cuisine / Phieu Thanh Toan at So 5, Nguyen Sieu Hang Buorn, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi.
In-door main-floor restaurant with good reviews but afraid I can’t say the same (though it appears that the naming of the restaurant is similar to another & therefore maybe confusing).
Service was good but not the food - except for the Pork Spring Rolls that is. There were 5 of them, nice and crunchy, tasty and well-filled, each one cut into half. They were so good that we ate almost all of them before I had a chance to take a picture. They came with a tiny dish of sauce but only one dish between two people - which was a struggle to share.
Lots of variety on the menu, seemingly, but I couldn’t choose / make up my mind, as many of the Vietnam pictured food selections appeared to have a disproportionate amount of onions in them. This was definitely the case with the ‘Bo cap can toi’, a beef, leak and celery stir-fry dish with steamed rice. There were ‘other’ veggies as well but an abundance of onions (which to me is a strong warning sign of pure laziness and lack of imagination). That was why I went with what I thought was a ‘safe bet’. I’m not a fan of ordering a steak in an ‘Asian’ restaurant but maybe one day I’ll learn my lesson. The Australian ribeye came with fries and lettuce. The fries were Ok I guess but became ‘soggy’ from the juice that accompanied the steak. The steak came pre-cut into strips, which, in retrospect was a warning that a regular knife would not have the ‘cutting power’ - and so, yes, it was not only slightly undercooked but tough and pretty tasteless in spite of its appearance of seasoning. We ordered 3 Saigon beers and a Chicken Noodle dish ‘to go’ for a third party and the total came to 855,000 Dong. A little pricey by Vietnam standards and very disappointing. The only reason I gave 3 stars was because the Service was good, efficient and friendly. As I had mentioned though, the reviews were good but I can’t concur. I have eaten there twice - the first time and...
