After hearing about the hype of Luke Nguyen's Moi Moi for a couple of months now, I decided to try it out with a few friends. Reservations for 8 or more are easy - we got seated just in time.For the appetizer, I ordered the fresh rice paper rolls, which I thought were wrapped nicely and presented well, but like most Hong Kong restaurants, you're only just eating carbs inside.

For the appetizer, I ordered the fresh rice paper rolls, which I thought were wrapped nicely and presented well, but like most Hong Kong restaurants, you're only just eating carbs inside. Two measly pieces of shrimp (not even, because they were sliced in half lengthwise) and a few pieces of lettuce made me full but disappointed. However, the sauce was the holy grail to this dish - a true Vietnamese enthusiast would know that using the hoisin/peanut sauce variety is the right way to go versus the fish sauce other Vietnamese restaurants give you.
Onto the pho - I would consider myself a pho connoisseur, and was truly disappointed in the lack of flavor in the broth. The meat slices were delicious and definitely high quality, don't get me wrong, but a weird curry/cumin flavor was present in the dish which I found quite strange. The noodles were not al dente as noodles should be - they were overcooked and soggy as well.
A few hours after eating this I also found that I was the thirstiest person in the world - I blame it on the sodium levels of the broth.
It takes a lot for me to write a negative review, but the disappointment was just too much for me to hold back. Maybe if Luke is ever back in Hong Kong he can re-train the chefs to make a better bowl.
TL;DR: Not flavorful, soggy noodles, packed with sodium. Would not come back.
