Bó Luông Restaurant — Restaurant in Hoà Bình province

Great service, interior and atmosphere. Horrible value for money though. I ordered a pho bo and for 150k I expected something at the upper end. Instead, what I got was the worst pho bo I've had in Vietnam, and possibly my life. And I've had my fair share of pho. I've had better pho for 1/4 of the price. It was beyond bland and zero condiments came with beside lime and chilli. There was quite some meat, which was well-done, chewy and dry.

My theory is that, because we went there during the off-season that they didn't have the broth ready. So they served whatever broth they had...to my incredible dissatisfaction.

My partner ordered the spaghetti tomato and it was quite boring and the portion wasn't big.

I'm certain that other dishes on the menu have better value for money, especially if you read other reviews. I just wouldn't recommend pho...

I wasn’t a fan. It was very expensive food, and I would expect it to be good when ordering a salad that is over 150K. The chicken salad was not fresh; in fact, it tasted a few days old with tiny pieces of chicken. Salads and vermicelli bowls are normally fresh in Vietnam, with a variety of vegetables and dressing on the side for a fraction of the price. Also, I found a long hair in mine, which was addressed but still unappetising. The Com Lam was okay. This place doesn’t deserve the high rating...

My girlfriend and I ate at the restaurant twice because the food was so good. Both times, we were absolutely satisfied with our choices. We had the Asian Shrimp, Cantonese Chicken, Vegetable Pho and the vegetarian Banana Blossom Salad. All the food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Also the restaurant was very clean and the location is next to a small lake with a nice view which makes it a little bit special. We can definitely recommend...
