I noticed Yum Cha closed down and in it's place was two new restaurants. Both appear to be run by the same people for when we arrived they asked if you wanted Vietnames or Chinese. We decided to try out Vietnamese.It was a really nicely designed restaurant with pretty murals on the wall.They had bar seats for single diners with USB charging systems.Menu is in English and Chinese. When we were there, they had lunch and afternoon tea sets available.They also have a small a la carte menu as well.A

Menu is in English and Chinese. When we were there, they had lunch and afternoon tea sets available.
They also have a small a la carte menu as well.
As we were there during afternoon tea time, we ordered from there. It includes a soft drink or an upgrade of $10 for Vietnamese coffee. Which is what I did. The coffee was not strong at all. It was ok.
Boyfriend ordered the Vietnamese Pork Chop Rice with Vietnamese Curry ($58). This was quite a spread. It came with (in boyfriend's opinion) not enough rice for the amount of curry available. The curry was decent and very spicy. The pork chop was too caramelized. I thought it just tasted like sugar. Boyfriend thought it was fine. There was a small salad that was bland. There was also a tri color coconut dessert that didn't have a lot of coconut taste at all.
I noticed they served banh mi. Always up to finding a good banh mi, I chose the banh mi with soup ($58). This took a long time to arrive. The soup was ok. A basic carrot and cabbage soup. The banh mi was not that great. If you could call it that as it wasn't. There was Vietnamese sausage and a lot of pork floss. Oddly, there wasn't any cilantro or herbs added but just lettuce. There were some crunchy radishes that weren't pickled. This bread itself wasn't even the correct bread. Just a crunchy dense French baguette. What was more strange is someone came out and apologized for the staff not offering me Maggi and I'm to add it to the banh mi. HUH??? Is this a clue to add MSG laced soy sauce to add flavor this??
The staff was also clueless. A lot of people milling around, walking by and glancing at us eating but not once did they refill our water. Even when one took away our finished dishes the minute I cleared my plate, they still didn't notice our glasses were empty. And then when we asked to refill our water, there was confusion as several of them held a jar of water, as if deciding which to offer us. Food was average and definitley not Vietnamese. Just Hong Kong styled Vietnamese. Won't be back.
