Just in front of Veranda Mall, there's a small Vietnamese restaurant that not many people know about yet. Let me tell you, the food here is incredible!
From the moment you step inside, you'll be greeted by friendly staff and an authentic Vietnamese ambiance. The menu is packed with delicious options, but I highly recommend the Pho (or the Miso soup if you’re a fan) - it's the best I've had in ages! The broth is rich and savory, and the noodles are cooked to perfection. Also, another favorite of ours is the Curry chicken, crispy but still fresh crusty chicken strips with a mildly-spicy curry sauce full of veggies that mix superbly with the simple (yet tastier than I could imagine) rice.
Everything is made fresh to order, and you can tell it is cooked with passion - you hear/see the cook sing joyfully while he cooks every item on the menu! Plus, the prices are incredibly reasonable - you'll get a fantastic meal for a fraction of what you'd pay at some of the more popular spots in the area.
So, if you're in the mood for some authentic Vietnamese cuisine, make sure you check out this hidden gem. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!
