Home made lemonade with lemon and ginger- must try! Soft shell crab as entree, tasty ribs. Salad on the spicy side but ok. Keep that sparkling water handy! Decor is peaceful, staff very good. Avoid using KrisFlyer voucher. Kris app is good.
I’m Vietnamese, so I can confidently say this is not authentic VNese food. BUT it is good food. I was surprised, the beef curry was flavorful, and the chicken has that perfect crispy skin. Portions are a bit small with no starch, and cocktails are a bit weak.
Viet – 14 Kensington St, Chippendale Tucked away at the entrance to the vibrant Spice Alley, Viet offers both indoor and outdoor seating - the latter perfect for people watching whilst you dine. The Cambodian Pork Ribs with Asian slaw ($35) was meaty and tasty, but just shy of falling off the bone. Not too shabby. The Whole Snapper Deep Fried with apple salad, nuts and chilli sauce (M.P. $35) was okay. The fish was not huge and the flesh a tad dry, but the salad and dressing tasty enough to keep us interested. Speaking of salads, the ones served with both dishes were slightly fatigued and undersized. Service was fine. One beer option on menu only (Singha) You can BYO wine for a corkage fee of $10 per bottle All in all, Viet is a solid choice Just don't expect fireworks - more like a steady, dependable flame.
It’s a warm bowl of lemon water with a hint of beef flavour. the meat was so overcooked, it might as well be recycled for plastic bag. But the staffs were super friendly and professional tho.
One of the sit-in restaurants in Spice Alley, with pleasant decor, a nice little garden area to sit etc. The food was so loveless though- none of the 3 dishes had any real flavour which is so unusual for Vietnamese. The vegetables were all cut in big chunks which to me says disinterest in the kitchen… not much of any flavour on the fried rice, satay noodles or rice paper rolls. No sauces or salt to add. Eating out is not cheap anymore, so restaurants should be so careful not to be one of the duds. I was disappointed
