Nhà hàng Hải Lâm — Restaurant in Sa Pa Ward

Well what an interesting night I had here, I will start by saying the food is okay. Expensive for Sa Pa however. We rode our motorbike into town, and parked in there went walking for a few hours then came back to this restaurant because it was across from our motorbike. Well, to start with the restaurant is absolutely filthy. Second of all the service is quite bad, had to continually ask for items of food and drinks that we had ordered that they forgot to bring us and cutlery which they did not supply. But the two things that were the most disgusting about this place is that the workers here actually tried to steal be helmets of our motorbike and were trying to unlock the motorbike, please see the attached photos. They did not realise it was our motorbike when they realise we were filming them. They then pretended to dance and joke around about it. We told the staff which we got no reply. Also my partner who speaks fluent Vietnamese as being a local self was translating what they were saying about us whilst we were sitting in the restaurant which I can say is unsavoury at best. The workers of the restaurant would come to the balcony where we were sitting and Ogle the women Down below and make comments about their weight and attractiveness in Vietnamese. This restaurant is absolutely disgusting. the staff that tried to touch our motor motorbike ride it and steal the helmets off, the staff should be fired. Please see attached video of the staff touching our motorbike.

Also see the filth on the table. Also see the two staff standing over our dinner (we are on the left, making sexualised comments of people) whilst we where attempting to...

My recent dining experience at Nhà Hàng Hải Lâm Sa Pa left much to be desired. While the restaurant boasts a charming ambiance and promises of delectable cuisine, my visit was marred by a concerning incident that I feel compelled to share.

Upon enjoying a meal of sturgeon hotpot, my husband and I encountered a troubling situation during the settling of our bill. Despite tendering an amount well above our total, we were met with resistance and accusations of underpayment from the staff.

The ensuing confrontation revealed a blatant attempt at deception, with the cashier insisting on a lower amount than what we had provided. Despite our efforts to resolve the issue, including reviewing CCTV footage that clearly contradicted the cashier's claims, we were unable to reach a satisfactory conclusion.

This experience left a sour taste in our mouths and overshadowed any enjoyment we derived from the meal. It's disheartening to encounter such dishonest practices, especially in a tourist destination like Sapa.

I urge fellow diners to exercise caution when patronizing Nhà Hàng Hải Lâm Sa Pa or any establishment in the area. While the food may be appealing, the integrity of the staff leaves much to be desired. Proceed with caution and be vigilant to avoid falling victim to...

Restaurant was recommended by our driver. At first glance, the front looks inviting but entrance area after the first few steps was messy. That's not a good sign. The place was mostly empty with a handful of customers since it's in the middle of the week. We got a seat upstairs, and ordered immediately. The stir fry vegetables were brought out quickly. 15+ minutes goes by and we asked what happened to the other items. Someone must have forgotten our order or something got misplaced. Another waiter brought out the stir fry again and saw that we had it already and took it back to the kitchen. 😁😆😂 Good atmosphere and decorations with a beautiful view of the lake across the street. Food was good overall but nothing special. Points of improvements: need better organization on slower days so this doesn't happen. Perhaps offer several different dipping sauces for...
