“I have to say, this place isn’t fully authentic being that the reviews from a Vietnamese person pointed out their differences and I thought the same. Missing the Vietnam wall clock! 😂 But this is the only Vietnamese restaurant in Long Island that serves Bun Bo Hue! I usually have to go all the way to Flushing Queens, Brooklyn or Manhattan for Bun Bo Hue. Brooklyn and Manhattan for Bun Rieu, but hey, not everyone serves it due to the complexity of the dish. I have to give them an “A” for effort at least. Their Bun Bo Hue didn’t use the chili shrimp paste that gives it the spicy umami flavor and it is suppose to be a lemongrass broth. Most likely they used the pho beef broth and added some chili oil to it. The pork trotters weren’t as I expected either. The Combination Pho was nice, the broth had a slightly smokey flavor to it, from what I noticed the day I tried it. The grilled pork wasn’t pork slices, but were in strips. The spring rolls were way overdone from the color of it and the filling tasted a bit dated and not the same from an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. But overall no complaints from the family, which is an A in my book, being with how picky they are with the authenticity because I raised a bunch of food snobs!😂”
