This is just a very popular restaurant, with lots of expat customers too. We came here out of a Michelin recommendation online. They recommended only 3 Vietnamese restaurants in Hong Kong and this one has an accolade among the three.Probably very minimal decoration, which can only be described as rough. No problem.

Probably very minimal decoration, which can only be described as rough. No problem. I have been to many footstalls and road side restaurants in Hanoi and HMC. Some also have no decor. Let's move onto the food.
They are very busy on a Friday evening, even though we arrived around 8.45pm. Good sign of nice food, yes?
But I have never tasted such dishes in Vietnam, where the food are clean and flavors are clear. This place serves dishes that are best described as muddy in taste. But, worst of all, they taste nothing like any place I have been to in Vietnam.
The rice sheet rolls with shrimp inside are unfortunately marred by a very tough roll. They also stuck on the plastic plate they were served on.
The Cha Ca, a fish dish, was a piece of bland fried fish accompanied by a serving of rice vermicelli. and an unidentified dipping sauce. I loved the restaurant in Hanoi called Cha Ca La Vong. The Cha Ca there is a dish of fried fish cubes served in a wok over an open flame table cooker, in an oil bath with turmeric and heaps of dill herbs, accompanied by rice vermicelli to soak up the sauce. Cha Ca La Vong should know what they are doing, having invented the dish and has the street named after them. What they serve at An Choi is not even a shadow of that dish. It was just a different dish altogether.
A dish of snails in a creamy sauce, turned out to be the common sea snails of Hong Kong but this sort of preparation did not bring out their taste. Largely left untouched.
Beef rolls in some kind of seaweed or leaves. Can't tell. Not impressed.
We ordered many dishes and frankly, none of them tasted remotely of anything in Vietnam and it is better just to forget them.
Staff are very friendly.
