Nhà Hàng Ái Huê 2 - 愛華 2 大洒樓 — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

DO NOT eat at this restaurant, they lie to your face at all costs to rectify a mistake they made without them paying out of pocket. We were touring Vietnam when our driver suggested this as a excellent dinner spot. Taking his advice, we decided to dine there once it opened at 5:00. We were a little apprehensive when we noticed all the other seats in the quite spacious restaurant were empty, but we trusted his suggestion. Immediately when we sat down we were informed that the food would take a long time because they were just starting up the kitchen. We ordered quite a lot of food from their overpriced menu, and they had a lot of unhelpful staff sitting around who eventually reluctantly took our order. We got a whole fish, which was market price, and we forgot to ask the price, which we later regret. The food came quick enough, but the beef was slimy, and as a whole the food was too greasy and oily for such high prices. But that's not really why I decided to put in this review. We had a vegetarian with us who decided to put in an extra order for braised cabbage with garlic sauce, something which was explicitly placed in the vegetables section. When the dish finally came, we noticed something that definitely was off: there was pork in the dish. Upon further inquiry, the waitress informed us that we had ordered a completely different dish, some mushroom fungus thing that we had never even looked at. We asked to get their manager who, by the way, was very rude and manipulative, and she attempted to gaslight us into believing that that dish was the cabbage with garlic sauce, when there was a picture of it as the mushroom fungus.We argued for her for five full minutes before she took it away. Then, the bill came, and we were relieved that they took the cabbage off the bill, because of course we didn't eat it. The bill was around $140 for 6 people, which in Vietnam is on the more expensive side. But I'm writing this review because I realized later, that while all the other dishes were 300k-400k dong, the fish was a crazy 850k dong, and we couldn't double check the real price because it was market price. I suspect that they pay out of pocket for their screwup, and decided to add the mushroom fungus dish onto the fish because we couldn't check the real price. All in all, do not eat at the restaurant. It looks innocent enough, but they have lazy service staff, their manager is rude, and their food is absolutely disgusting.

EDIT: Now that I think about it even more, the manager was smiling quite sneakily at us while escorting us out of the premises. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and thought she was just being friendly and had rectified her ways, but now I realize that she was gloating internally in the fact that she had SCAMMED us and got away with it.

Her character makes me sick; she had no morals whatsoever. If they were honest and charged us for the cabbage then we would be having an entirely different...

I had an anniversary dinner at this restaurant and I was really happy with it. The Peking duck was a bit oily, but still tasty, and I loved the stir-fried duck dish. You can choose to have the Peking duck served in two or three ways. Since there were just two of us, we picked the two dishes option, but I kinda regret not trying the fried duck bones. If you're a light eater like me, there will be quite a bit of leftover food for two people, but that’s fine since you can ask the staff to pack it up for you to take home. There was a small plate of fried fish already on the table. At first, I thought it was a complimentary side dish, but later found out it was charged (I think it was 10k). It was pretty tasty, and the price was reasonable. The restaurant is really spacious. The seating is in a common area with other diners, so it can get a bit noisy, but it's a fun vibe. You can park your car right in front of the restaurant or at the nearby houses as directed by the staff. The parking fee is 50k, which is collected right after you park. I’m really satisfied and I’ll definitely...

English Below: Nhà hàng kiểu Hoa với hầu hết các món ăn người Hoa, tuy nhiên nếu lựa chọn thì mình sẽ chọn ăn ở Ái Huê 1 hơn dù nhà hàng đó đã rất cũ: Đồ ăn không đặc sắc mặc dù Menu vẫn chung Menu với Ái Huê 1, nhưng cách chế biến khác, không đậm vị và không ngon. Nhân viên ở đây không mấy thân thiện như chỗ cũ, phục vụ không được tốt nhiều lần làm đổ đồ ăn và nước uống lên giỏ và đồ dùng cá nhân của mình. Toilet quá nhỏ so với quy mô nhà hàng, nếu có tiệc bạn sẽ phải xếp hàng để chờ toilet Không gian rộng rãi, mới mẻ, đậm chất Trung Hoa, có bãi giữ xe rộng rãi. Đoạn đường 1 chiều nên cũng không thuận tiện di chuyển cho lắm. Đồ ăn ở đây được làm với trọng lượng khá nhiều nên nếu bạn đặt tiệc cho gia đình hãy đặt size nhỏ. Về tráng miệng mình highly recommend những món chè nóng. —— —— —— —— —— —— —— Chinese-style restaurant with most Chinese dishes: The food is not special although the Menu is still the same Menu with Ai Hue 1, but The food is cooked differently i think: not tasty and not delicious. The staff here is not as friendly as the old place, not good service many times spilled food and drink on my baskets and personal belongings. Toilet is too small compared to the size of the restaurant, if there is a party you will have to queue to wait for the toilet Spacious, new and Chinese atmosphere with spacious parking lot. The road is one-way, so it is not very convenient to move. The food here is made with a lot of weight, so if you order a party for the family, order a small size. For dessert, I highly recommend hot...
