Authentic food with great taste, love it! We had pho soup, vegetarian one (which is usually not full of taste) was really delicious! The chief welcomed us and explained everything-was really nice

This was legitimately the best Vietnamese food I’ve had in my entire life. The owner is the only one in the kitchen and it’s clear that he cooks the food from scratch with his heart and soul. He was a really sweet man and his food is UNBELIEVABLY GOOD. I had the chicken pho and a shrimp summer roll. The herbs in the summer roll were so fresh and light, and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. The pho was…crazy. Just so good. The chicken was crispy yet buttery soft. The flavors made me want to cry. The noodles were just the right portion. I know I sound dramatic but it was honestly that good. If you’re looking for a posh or even brassiere-style ambiance, this is not your place. This spot is very much a hole in the wall with plenty of charm and character. You come here to eat delicious food, not to see and be seen. If you go into it with the right expectations, you will be totally blown away.

Authenticity is keyword, both in taste of food, environment and service. Highly appreciate the hands-on service! Looking forward to return when in Haarlem.

The food was very fresh and was prepared individually. The owner and chef was very friendly and wants to prepare the best possible food for all his guests. Unfortunately, the ambience was not very nice, but we ate very well.

This restaurant is small and there was only the owner doing everything tonight. He was cooking from scratch and taking order, explain his food and ways and entertain the customers. He is such a nic guy, very welcoming and passionate which shows in his food. Best pho I've ever had in my life.

Food is authentic and really great, so it’s the atmosphere. The chef knows how to cook and it shows. Flavors have complexity and depth. We will definitely go back and recommend to friends.

This is a little Gem. Freshly cooked authentic Vietnamese food with no artificial additives. The owner is super friendly and has a genuine interest in making food from scratch that is fresh ,flavoursome and delicious. Table space is limited so definitely book in advance. Will definitely go back for more.

Soul food is love. Not looks. Please, don’t be fooled by the small location and plastic curains between the four tables. The food. Is. Amazing. All ingredients are fresh and made from scratch. Made with love. The interior of the place may leave question marks when you first see it, but there’s a sad corona story behind it: Bad luck in the timing of opening a restaurant. But the food. Oh the food. So rich and clean and so good. The owner and cook who manages alone, makes all the food and tries to give all stay and take away clients to have the best food experience. We’re so happy we stayed and gave it a shot. It was amazing.

The owner moved his restaurant to a new address. There are 4 tables. The food is excellent, and very fresh. The owner does everything: taking orders, make the food and serve it. Very informal, but excellent. We will return.
