"I wanted to change a little bit of eating always Japanese food during the trip. To my surprise this place was really good for it. The decoration of the restaurant was Vietnam inspired. The food was delicious and for 1650¥ I got a full lunch course, with diferent dishes and dessert included."

"We had lunch at this Vietnamese restaurant near our hotel in Nara. We ordered a set lunch comprised of a small salad, appetizer, main dish, dessert and Vietnamese coffee. The foods were excellent and tasty. The price is very reasonable. We highly recommend this restaurant."

"First time trying Vietnamese food, and I had Bún Bò! The noodles have a totally different texture from any other noodles I’ve had before. The broth was spicy and super flavorful, highly recommended if you love spicy food! 🌶️ The side dish came with a fresh veggie salad, prawn crackers, and rice with pork. With this price, I was full and satisfied, and everything was delicious!
I also ordered Fresh Spring Rolls, you can order them individually at a cheap price. They come with two types of dipping sauces, and I honestly loved both! 🫶🏻
The restaurant is on the 2nd floor, a bit small but has plenty of seating, so no worries! The cozy atmosphere really gives off Vietnam vibes. They also sell Vietnamese/Southeast Asian sauces and products, which is pretty cool. Service was great, and they have staff who can speak English!
Definitely coming back 💯"
