Golden Rice Restaurant — Restaurant in Hue City

UPDATED BELOW:

Tourist trap. Overpriced. Food was far from authentic. Service was horrible-we were asked to move tables to accommodate a larger party, brought us the wrong drinks. Overall bad experience.

Food was fine but a far cry from the standard we've experienced on our trip so far and at a...

My first impression of the restaurant was average, since it was quite dim inside and it was super quiet. But the fact that we were looking to have lunch at 4pm could have contributed to it.

We ordered the classic noodle soup with pork balls and beef, and a duck spring roll. To our surprise, they brought us an extra order of pork spring rolls on the house! The spring rolls were very fresh and crispy, and the noodle soup was good. Prices are on the higher side for sure, compared to local eats. We paid about 150k for our meal.

Overall a good experience, but I personally prefer restaurants that have a...
