Vietnamese

Neighbours to Lai Huat Seafood and just steps away from Non Entree Dessert Cafe, this chic space comes decorated with metal tables, neon lighting and graffiti walls — a great spot to visit the next time you and your friends are craving good Vietnamese food. Unlike Mrs Pho (its sister outlet on Beach Road that specialises in noodles), this eatery focuses on dishes meant for sharing. Excite your tastebuds with the No Star Where Salat ($7.90), a less commonly seen salad made with starfruit and tender slices of beef tossed in a sweet, spicy and tangy sauce. Also share the Mrs Pho Cockles ($10.90), a simple but delicious claypot of cockles stir-fried in garlic and pork lard, as well as the Con Heo Chop ($9.90), two perfectly grilled slabs of tender pork chops. Have it with the excellent homemade chili that takes everything to another level! Wash it all down with a cup of Viet Coffee with Condensed Milk ($4.50) at the end of your meal. Pro tip: Reserve one of the two round tables available if you're coming in a group of six to eight — it's partitioned off by beaded curtains, making it more intimate.
Avg Price: $20 per person

For roughly $6.50-$7.50 (pretty decent I think) you get a big bowl of noodles with tender meat (your choice - char siew, pork ribs, roasted pork belly) PLUS they provide unlimited lapok!!! I'm sold 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 However, the noodles were quite dry though cos im used to eating saucier wanton mee but nonetheless pretty yummy!! Wish the pork ribs weren't so huge cos kinda tough to suck the bone dry unless you eat with your hands. Will recommend to go for the "two-some" cos you get siewyok + charsiew and their charsiew is like kong bak pau kind!!!! I LOVE!!!! And I went during lunch time so there was happy hour on drinks - beer + wanton mee is something I'd never think of but it was gr8 finishing off the meal with a gulp of beer + the weather was SO hot too ☀️

Underneath the thin rice vermicelli (which is served cool) is a generous amount of lettuce and raw beansprouts. So you need to pour on the accompanying light Vietnamese dipping sauce and give the whole thing a good toss before tucking in.
I found the grilled pork rather small in portion but well-marinated and juicy. As for the two meatballs, they tasted processed but were pretty good nonetheless. In terms of texture and flavour, they reminded me a little of the popular Taiwanese sausage. What stood out most of all was the fried spring roll. I was expecting the usual shredded turnip filling but instead, I bit into a delicious mixture of pork and veg. Surprisingly, the skin of the fried spring roll managed to stay crisp throughout. I am so getting a whole plate of these fried spring rolls on my next visit here.

A really satisfying meal here with a small group of friends. We shared the papaya salad ($6) which was not too spicy and very very tasty, along with the fried spring rolls ($3) which we ordered about 4 servings of cos they were so good! I thoroughly enjoyed my vermicelli with pork and spring roll (yes..more) for just $7.90. Bear in mind this is a room temperature dish that calls for pouring in a salty fish sauce that comes on the side. The stewed beef noodles were also excellent. One of the better Vietnamese meals I've had, especially since it feels so warm and homey in there! Looking forward to my next visit for some special beef pho.

Cute name. My initial guess was that it got the moniker from the generous amount of lean beef strips, chopped water chestnut, onions and garlic stuffed inside. But on further investigation (thank you google), I learned that it's a simplified version of "Bò lá lốt", which is what this traditional Vietnamese dish is called.
Wrapped in wild betel leaf, every bite of the rolls flooded my sense of smell and taste with a strong and distinct herbal fragrance and flavour. Accompanying the rolls were plain, dry rice noodles, sliced cucumber and pickled strips of carrot and radish to help rebalance the palate.
Even if you don't live in the Joo Chiat area, it's worth making a trip down just to try this unique Vietnamese dish.

This is my go-to dish whenever I work late because they open till around midnight. The combination of grilled pork, fresh vegetables, rice noodles and fragrant herbs, all tossed in a Vietnamese light dipping sauce, never fails to bring on the bliss! Long Phung's pork fillet is very well marinated - you can taste the sweetness that's been deeply absorbed into the meat. I often wonder where they get their beansprouts - they are beautifully obese and pack a giant crunch. Yums!

A new edition of dry pho by Pho Stop with their signature marinated chicken chop. At their fusion tasting delights has left me speechless when I could not decide to have pho or their grills main, so this is one of the best combination to make up your choice of both! And it was so good that I wanted a second serving.

This is one of the item to consider when you're looking for something dry instead of soupy!

Found this restaurant at a corner need Bangkok jam at marina. Nice and reasonable price for a simple meal
