Pho Ngoc Yen Restaurant

Call to reserve ahead on evenings & weekends. Authentic Vietnamese dishes .

Stylish interior that's a bit dated, but that has its charms. The waitresses wear Ao Dais (traditional Vietnamese women's clothing ) too. The menu has the usual dishes but also some interesting items.

Saigon fish noodle soup was rich & fragrant. It was a huge bowl & there was a nice assortment of fish toppings. The dough sticks were warm & crispy .

BBQ chicken with lemon leaf & fried coconut sticky rice was good. The rice was well fried & really fragrant. The chicken was tender & tasty.

The complimentary hot tea is very fragrant. Roasted matcha with grass jelly and chia seeds was good. It had tons of chia seeds .

Crispy net rice noodles with dried shrimp , dried shredded chicken & pork crackling with green onion sauce was good: delicate & balanced.

The grass jelly & chia seeds drink wasn't good though - it had little liquid & was basically just the chia seeds & grass jelly .
