I live in Ha Noi. I rarely write negative reviews. I came here for a lunch around 1:30 pm, explained that I had 45 minutes and then a meeting. The place is comfortable enough, the staff was pretty much uninterested and displayed some pretty typical--and in this case bad--Vietnamese tendencies. I ordered simple spaghetti, the staff then proceeded to sit... More

I stopped in to enquire about a cooking class and saw a picture of Gordon Ramsey and was immediately interested. It was also quite cheap @$45 vs. $50-$70 at other places. I decided to have a mid afternoon snack since I just arrived from Halong Bay. I had some sort of sprig rolls which were delicious, but then had some... More

First, we were a group 7 people with a reservation. They seated us in a "private" room where the decoration was all but below average. The chairs were beaten and very uncomfortable and, the room was dirty. It was cold in Hanoi that night and the room had no heating so they tried to bring some comfort with a portable... More

The restaurant was launched by Gordon Ramsey. So I thought it must be good. The restaurant was nicely decorated with Ramsey's photo taken presumably with the owner placed near the entrance. We had our dinner reservation around 7pm which was not late at all. But 2 of the 4 veg dishes we tried to order were not available. In fact,... More

Very good food, reasonable choices. Be sure to go upstairs. Crowded and noisy; great ambiance. More

I found the quality of the dishes excellent. The restaurant is in an authentic old French Villa which adds ambience to match the food. I was very happy that I chose to visit this gem. More

So Ramsey put his name to this restaurant, i nearly dismissed it based on that info. Glad i didn't, if visiting in February take a coat, no heating. Duck in tamarind sauce, soft shell crab with stir fried veg and morning glory a delight. All for £20. Finding this venue on foot at night is like trekking. Take a torch,... More

How many things can go wrong in the same evening? Quite a few apparently. Let me start with the good stuff....the staff were charming. The music was hauntingly authentic and classical Vietnamese very well performed. But we didn't come for the cultural experience, we came for the food...and it was sorely lacking. We ordered the spring rolls, the signature Gordon... More

Afraid this might be a tourist trap with the promotion surrounding Gordon Ramsay's name in their ads.Place was full of locals at lunch with one other couple obvious tourists as well was a good sign. Food exceeded expectations. Service professional,prompt and nice ambiance. Would have preferred dinner rather than lunch but still a wonderful meal. Started with grilled pork rice... More
