Asia - Ha Long

Hospitable owner who knows basic English and offers large house cooked food right in his living room

A small cheap Vietnamese restaurant runs by a local family. The owner can speak a bit English and is very friendly. As a vegan, I ordered vegetable noodles and Spring rolls. The fried spring rolls were good with the sauce.

Waited more than an hour for some spring rolls and a chicken dish. Owner was slightly *too* friendly in chopping our spring rolls with us clearly disagreeing. Average food.

Overpriced (not very tasty) food, seems like no one really wants to work in there, took 10 minutes until someone gave us the honor to order. At least there's WiFi...

They must pay for fake reviews or something. The ice in the lemon drink tasted really bad, like it was in the freezer for a month or made with bad water. Both the pork and the beef tasted very stale and old, not ok. The rice and noodles both tasted like they were made at the beginning of the week and then sat in their respective containers in the fridge until they were ordered. Then when I asked for water, they handed me an open bottle of water, that the lady herself did nỏdered ít. A common scam. Very displeased and felt like there was no respect for food safety.
