Meaning alleyway in Vietnamese, a Hem is where you'd find hidden gems. The steamed wontons are a solid start. The filling combines aromatic pork umami with the mild sweetness of shrimp, accented by carrot, sesame oil, soy and scallions. Tossed in a chili-satay dark soy vinaigrette, the dish strikes a refreshing balance of umami, sweet, tang and lightly spicy notes. Bringing a crisp contrast in textures, this vegetarian-style...
I heard a lot of good things about Hem so I tried the beef pho and steamed wontons. I found the flavour very flat and non-distinct. The wontons had great texture but not much flavour. Service was nice. I had takeout.
We enjoyed a very lovely lunch, the food was pretty good - salad rolls were good, Bahn Mi also pretty good. What stood out the most was the service and how kind the waiter was to us. He offered lots of information about the food and the restaurant which ultimately elevated the experience. Definitely worth going for the good vibes!

Only downside was that it was a little cold inside, which is fair when it’s -20+ outside.
