Viet Kong

This little hidden gem is overshadowed by larger viet restaurants in the area but it’s really quite decent ! The portion sizes I don’t think are as small as what some of the other reviews give it credit for and really it’s just that the bowl is deeper instead of wider (which keeps the food warm for longer).
the soup base and phở were both decent but what was really surprising is that they have afternoon tea which includes a few HK classics along with their regular viet menu selections. Service as well was superb but maybe that’s because I went for a super late dinner.
I’d say if you’re around the area, it’s worth a try!

:(I was hoping this was one of the restaurants that was wrongfully judged. but all the reviews stand to be true.
I came here around 5PM after school with my boyfriend.
We ordered the J10: Satay Beef Noodle & T01: House Special Phở & Chicken Wings & Fries
The chicken wings and drinks (lemon ice-​tea) were amazing.
The visual of the satay beef noodle was misleading to say the least. The bowl looked so appetizing with the sauce layering the top of the soup, a huge amount of noodles, and it was steaming. However, it was less than what I could’ve made at home. There was absolutely no taste to the soup much less the satay flavour. All the ingredients were in there. except for the flavour.
My boyfriend told me not to bother him for reviews on Unilocal and just shook his head when I asked if he enjoyed his meal.
The fries texture were fine but they forgot the salt.
Overall, I wouldn’t come back for the viet section of the food but may try their HK section instead.

Went to this place when it first open and it was very disappointed. Service is average. Food wasn’t authentic at all. The vermicelli had water at the bottom of the bowl and there was so little sauce that came with it. The shrimp roll appetizer didn’t even come with the correct dipping sauce! Will not be back!

With all things considered this place deserve 3 stars because it’s okay. I’m not jumping out of my seat to eat there again but it’s not that terrible. I’ve been there twice for lunch. I’ve tried 3 items from the happy hour menu. So far, I’ve only been happy with T1 the phở. The things I like about the restaurant is that it’s quiet and clean. The waiter is pretty nice and attentive. I feel neutral about the parking because the parking lot is small but I did managed to find a spot the times I was there. The things I don’t like about the restaurant is their serving portions and the taste of their afternoon coffee. The phở is on the happy hour menu which makes you think that it is way cheaper than the other times but the bowl they serve you is actually the small size. The price difference isn’t that far off. They only have 2 sizes for phở and the small is actually really small. The taste of the phở is not bad but I don’t think it satisfied me. I don’t think I will be revisiting any time soon.

There’s a lot different variety of Asian food here. Not limited to Vietnamese.
I had the afternoon tea special of French Toast. It was alright, just as expected. I ordered an Iced Tea as well, but it tasted like the plastic cup. A little put off by that. My fiancé ordered Satay Pork Noodles, the waiter brought it out and came back 1 minute later saying the cook made a mistake and gave chicken instead of pork. He did as if we wanted to change it. We opted not to, and he kept the chicken. It wasn’t bad, but wasn’t great either.

Highly questionable choice of Restaurant name… if anyone is familiar with world history.
Unfortunately food was disappointing. Phở beef broth tasted like beef broth… from a can. Very light on toppings and the bowl it was served in was small, pricey too.
Was hoping to have a new Viet spot closer to home, but I’ll drive another 4 minutes for Kim Dinh!

For phở, this place is expensive. Don’t be fooled by the bowls. They look small, but they’re quite deep. The beef noodle soup only comes with a few strips of beef — disappointing. Same goes for the beef & tendon phở. There is definitely better phở uptown if you don’t mind the drive. The service here is pretty decent, but the restaurant is so small that it’s hard to have poor service. You will always have a chance to call them over when needed.

Thought I would try this new place in the neighbourhood considering there isn’t that many options for «cheap» Chinese food around there and this is a new place.
At first I got to say parking at that plaza isn’t that easiest Plaza is kind of small but somehow every time I go there parking seems to be pretty full.
As for the food…(the dots can continue), went there for dinner and ordered the Hainanese Chicken with Rice, House Special Beef Rice Noodle Soup, and Mung Bean, Red Bean & Grass Jelly with Coconut Juice.
Hainanese Chicken with Rice: Disappointed. Mostly rice, and I mean mostly! Only 4 small pieces of chicken and the flavour was off.
House Special Beef Rice Noodle Soup (large): Average or slightly below. Seemed a little expensive for large since you’re getting a ton noodles but not much ingredients. Soup base was ok wasn’t the worst and wasn’t the best.
Mung Bean, Red Bean & Grass Jelly with Coconut Juice: it tasted ok but jelly was jello? wtf…
First and probably the last time going there. The restaurant across the street (not going to name names) is definitely better for Chinese food and that place isn’t outstanding either but more acceptable for price, portions, taste, and ingredients.

2.5 Star
There is a reason that this newly opened «Vietnamese» restaurant has this funny name. At first I thought it means Viet Cong but it really refers to its Hong Kong Vietnamese Style food. Or you can call Asian Fusion?!
I came by for lunch and surprisingly I did not order anything off the lunch menu as most of the items are priced at close to $ 10 and mostly rice based or stir fried noodle. Almost all the customers were ordering Beef Noodle Soup instead. I think they might have to redo their lunch menu.
Special Beef Noodle Large ($ 7.95) has a nice broth with a good mix of herbs: star anise. I suggest not to order anything with the beef flank as one of the toppings as the beef flank/​tendon was one of the toughest rubbery thing I ever ate.
Viet Kong also has an Afternoon Tea menu from 2:30 pm.
So Lunch and Afternoon Tea Set just like Hong Kong Style Café but with Asian Fusion/​Vietnamese food?
Not bad for a neighbourhood restaurant just for variety but definitely not worth going out of your way for this.
