What an under-rated gem this is. That is a good thing which means it wil remain something of an enigma and exclusive little haunt. The decor is obviously Vietnamese with some pleasant Chinese touches. Chose to sit outside, but inside is also charming and more romantic. Whether you go for the set menu - a steal at AED125 (about $30)... More

Huge portions, I would advise missing lunch and loosening the belt a notch! Obviously not cheap but we got 20% off as hotel guests. Outside at night is a lovely experience.

If you ask for the peking duck ask them to shred the meat not slice it. If they don't know how to do it, get two forks and show them. Extra pancakes and cucumber/spring onion will be a must at some point but very charming and the tables on the terrace are great!

Our second visit with friends. The seating outside is fun and discreet. The staff are unobtrusive, patient and know the menu.The menu is extensive and different. The flavours reminded us of being back in Vietnam. We found it more impressive than the Hoi An in Dubai, which had a different menu. You will not be disappointed.

The food is amazing along with the menu selection. Situated in the Shangri La, it has indoor and outdoor seating with a beautiful view which is specially great during the winter months. The staff was friendly. We had just finished ordering and within five minutes the starters arrived. I was already impressed thinking that the service is amazing. However, in... More

I've been here on a number of occassions and I have yet to be disappointed and this visit was no exception. Situated in the Shangri-la hotel it has a great outdoor eating terrace looking out over to the Grand Mosque. The waiting staff are the most friendly I have come across and nothing is too much trouble for them. Smiling... More

Best food we had on our trip - try the warm (hot!) beef salad and the salt and pepper prawns! Great service and a nice setting if you sit outside

First time I have eaten here, delicious food, well presented. Service was excellent. Will be happy to go again. The menu is comprehensive with both set menus, al a carte and I must say the largest vegetarian menu I have seen. The choice.s make this an excellent place to take people who prefer a variety of choices.

Tried this restaurant having read many positive things Trip Advisor included. We are pretty familiar with far Eastern cusine and my benchmark would be against somewhere like Indochine in Singapore. Thought the food was good but not exceptional perhaps my expectations had been too high. Service good and ambience is fine so overall had an enjoyable dinner but we thought... More
