For the price of the spring rolls egg rolls and pho was small. Im not sure how this place was rated so high. To top it off we got jolly ranchers.
I would not come here again.
The service is top notch! We got our waters refilled when needed and they did check up on us when they could.
Would highly recommend this spot if you’re craving one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in the cities.
Staff were great. A nice atmosphere to eat in.
I wasn’t hunting for dinner—I was just driving with no destination—when I passed a Vietnamese spot with an animated LED PHO sign flashing at me. That’s usually a good omen. I pulled in.
Inside at about 7:30 pm, the place was busier than expected. Plenty of diners, plenty of staff, and that end-of-rush energy where everything’s getting wiped down and reset. That alone told me something good was happening here.
I tried to order fresh spring rolls—sold out. No problem. They make them fresh daily, and I’d rather they run out than serve yesterday’s leftovers. Then I went for a bánh mì—also out, due to fresh-baked bread being gone for the night. As a foodie, I’m fine striking out if the reason is freshness. I’ll just come back earlier.
So the audible changed to:
Pork egg rolls
Fried dumplings (for my wife—she’s the dumpling judge)
Chicken Pad Thai (my go-to benchmark dish)
Twelve minutes later, I was out the door with a to-go bag.
Back home, lids popped—and honestly? Lovely.
The fried dumplings were excellent. Almost a pastry-like shell around the pork filling, formed in those perfect half-moon shapes. Light, crisp, and balanced.
The pork egg rolls surprised me. I’m picky here—grew up on old-school Chinese handmade rolls. These held their own. Substantial filling, visible pork, not just layers of wrapper stuffed with cabbage. Two dipping sauces came with them: a fish-forward sauce and a hoisin-style sauce. Both worked.
Then the Pad Thai. Refreshing. Light. Exactly how it should be.
Noodles weren’t heavy
Sauce wasn’t cloying
Chicken was plentiful—and crucially—not overcooked
That last part matters. So many places dry the chicken out. Not here. It was tender and flavorful, and the portion was generous without being sloppy.
Bottom line
Even with two items sold out, I walked away impressed. That tells you something. This is a place doing things fresh, even if it means saying “not tonight.”
I’ll absolutely be back—earlier next time—for the bánh mì and fresh spring rolls. If those are anywhere near the level of what I had, Gion’s going to be a regular stop.
