Ayam Penyet Vindo - Halal — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

either way.. service was okay, decor was very basic.. but definitely coming back...

The food took a long time to arrive, and when it finally did, it wasn’t enjoyable — definitely not the quality I was expecting. My friend couldn’t even eat their meal.
