Stumbled upon this newly opened restaurant before it's official launch. Dinner: (1) bun mam (the "Vietnamese gumbo", a seafood vermicelli served in a fermented fish soup base) - most viet restos focus on the popular pho noodle soup (Phobar, Brass Spoon, BEP, etc.) but not many offer up the other tasty noodle soups from Vietnam...this bun mam was jam packed w plenty of seafood, a fragrant soup base and al dente noodles, but I found the soup a bit on the sweeter side and would have preferred stro
Dinner: (1) bun mam (the "Vietnamese gumbo", a seafood vermicelli served in a fermented fish soup base) - most viet restos focus on the popular pho noodle soup (Phobar, Brass Spoon, BEP, etc.) but not many offer up the other tasty noodle soups from Vietnam...this bun mam was jam packed w plenty of seafood, a fragrant soup base and al dente noodles, but I found the soup a bit on the sweeter side and would have preferred stronger savoury flavours...still delicious though!; (2) banh mi - don't think there are many spots in HK that put so much meat in their banh mi's like this place does and all of it was wrapped in a fresh and slightly toasty baguette...it would have been even better with a greater spread of the pate.
OVERALL - decent.
SUGGEST - bun mam (the bun thai's soup base was much too light), banh mi was alright too.
How I rate: awesome > decent > meh > terrible.
