This restaurant is amazing. Aside from the location having multiple cottage-style rooms and private tables enclosed in round brick walls, the food was some of the best I had in my short time in Vietnam.

I tend to be a little scared of trying seafood (unless I’m eating in a group), so I stuck to beef and tofu for this visit. (Fried tofu and lemongrass, beef and eggplant salad, and beef noodle stir fry). Nothing on the menu actually describes just how good it is.

During my stay, I imagined eating amazing food every meal - and despite the good reviews of most places in Ho Chi Minh, I was “meh” and actually started to think perhaps I just don’t enjoy Vietnamese dishes as much as I thought.

Fast forward to my time in Phu Quoc, and THIS, this was the flavor and cooked-to-perfection that I’ve been searching for the whole time.

The restaurant was recommended by my hotel (although it was for an item they turned out to not have on the menu, but after my meal I’m super happy either way).
