Metal shutters greeted us when we arrived but luckily, a Filipino waiter who was cleaning the tables outside the shop told us that they are opening at 5.30pm. Otherwise we would have thought that they were shut for good or closed for that day as the shop was supposedly to be opened all day. Although the place offer numerous dishes all plastered to the wall, about 50% of the items have been labeled "STOP", which meant that...

Vietnamese: Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine
