Reviews


One of the standout dishes at this restaurant is their Bun Bo Hue, which has been praised for being both delicious and authentic by Vietnamese diners. Along with their flavorful duck salad, the food is a definite highlight. However, some diners have had mixed experiences with the service, with issues like slow order times and untrained staff members. Despite these shortcomings, the restaurant seems to attract customers for their quality food, particularly the Bun Bo Hue, which is worth a drive for many. The lack of ambiance due to the lack of music is a downside for some, but overall, the restaurant seems to deliver on tasty Vietnamese and Thai cuisine, generally, Cafe Hoang receives a rating of 4.2 on average.
