Skewers Restaurant — Restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Walked into this restaurant as it was a quaint looking restaurant nestled in the CBD district. Greeted with a warm welcome by the waiter who could speak fluent English and was attentive to our order. It’s hard to come by a server who serves with a heart, especially in such a fast paced environment. One of them actually took time and listen to one of their regular customer’s day at work.

The soup was refreshing and full of flavors. We ordered the New Zealand beef filet medallions and a lamb gyro. The lamb gyro was served plain and lacked Mediterranean flavors. We added some of the thick cucumber soup on the gyro and that helped. As for the beef filet medallions they were very plain and served on a bed of tasteless couscous and grilled vegetables. Everything on the beef filet dish needed salt. Overall it wasn’t bad but it certainly wasn’t the Mediterranean taste we expected. The service was good and the restaurant was...
