This review is for a delivery received from Van Da. Items ordered were Pho Short Rib Grilled Cheese, and the Banh It Ram. As we all know when ordering delivery we can expect a drop in quality of the food as packaging certain foods can change the consistency and texture of the food. The Banh It Ram arrived in a small plastic container, the fried mochi balls were slightly soggy but maintain a slight crisp exterior...the taste was exquisite when paired with the nuoc mam sauce. The Pho Short Rib Grilled Cheese was a total miss. The sandwich was burnt to a crisp and complete inedible...to add insult to injury the restaurant packaged the sandwich with the burnt side down so as to hide the burnt end. I was very much disappointed in the poor quality control of the restaurant.

Menu is very limited. Portions are too small, and dishes lack flavor. The most disappointing was the papaya and mango salad

Food takes forever to arrive. We had to hit 2 other places afterwards to not be hangry anymore. Pretentious nonsense.

Very small plates and super noodle heavy. Not worth the money.

So good! And they were able to accommodate my allergy which was nice :)

Not great. Not terrible. We dined as a group of 6 and chose a few dishes from every region. All the banh’s from hue, the beef tartare, Ha Noi’s cha ca la vong, 2 Saigon’s Bo luc lac and mi vit Tim, taro tapioca che and coffee flan. Of those, I’d only come back for the Bo luc lac and coffee flan. A decent selection of beverages including from local breweries and well-themed viet cocktails. While the curation of dishes were on point and the execution was not, I appreciated the concept. My friends and I also enjoyed the laid-back environment. 4 out of 6 of us had drinks.

Place is a very modern take on traditional Vietnamese food. I recommend trying it out and share. Portions are a little smaller than a traditional viet spot you find in a regular pho spot but I really enjoy it.

Amazing food and the pho grilled cheese is the best I ever had on this earth!

Got the set. The flavors were excellent, reminiscent of quality food in Vietnam. However, I would like bigger portions, as they were quite small.

Van Ða is an absolute gem of modern Vietnamese restaurant. Every dish on the menu is finely focused with delicious, interesting, and balanced flavors. We always love sharing different dishes from regionally categorized menu which truly takes us want to travel through Vietnam. Delicious food is perfectly paired with fabulously friendly service which makes the dining experience even more special. Their cocktails are equally delectable. I highly recommend this precious gem to anyone who is seeking to have a charming culinary adventure.
A fantastic dinning experience， an authentic & creative Vietnamese Cuisine, a MICHELIN guide restaurant 🌟
Will be surprised by the regional hard to find dishes, just felt wroth a visit at all. You can see how beautiful prepared of the dishes and flavorful.
So much options on the menu 😮💨 Let’s start with Ban It Ram, a crispy mochi dumplings 🥟, the shrimp with sweet potatoes 🍠 sweet, tender & chewy.
Lemon Grass Beef Tartare was prepared and bursting with flavor, just one bites, it was everything‼️surprised, they offer sweet duck noodles 🦆 🍜
Of course you need more meats, don’t miss the short ribs, just outstanding in the night time. Well balanced, EXCITING

I missed so much Banh Ram It from Vietnam, it’s really really hard to find a restaurant which cook that dish. I had high expectations but at the end is wasn’t really authentic -still pretty good-. However the masterpiece of the dinner was the pho grilled cheese, that we ordered twice

Really, really great food at a somewhat under the radar gem of a restaurant. Highly recommended. Go give them your money!

The food was excellent! I particularly enjoyed the Roasted Five-Spiced Duck, Bo Luc Lac (Shaking Beef), and Banh It Ram (Crispy Mochi Dumpling). Each dish was flavorful and beautifully prepared.
