I was overwhelmed by the variety of dishes and drinks at the restaurant. All the beers were delicious! I tried dishes like frog and duck for the first time. In the end, the most delicious dishes were chicken and shrimp, which were easy to eat with tasty seasonings.

I made a reservation for 19:00 on a weekday. The restaurant was fully booked. I ordered fresh spring rolls, banh xeo, beef harami, and grilled pho. I later realized that you can ask the staff for cilantro. The banh xeo was the most delicious. The sweetness of the coconut and the crispiness of the egg were great. The fresh spring rolls were also delicious with the shiso leaves adding a nice touch. You can easily eat one in a single bite.

This is a restaurant I've always wanted to visit! They serve authentic Vietnamese cuisine (^_^)! There are so many types of dishes to choose from that I had a hard time deciding, but the fresh spring rolls, grilled ramen, and pho were all incredibly delicious! I would love to go back to this restaurant again and again!

Vietnamese-style cafes are quite common, offering trendy dishes like pho and Vietnamese coffee. But if you feel like something is missing, here's some good news for you. This place is as close to the bar and eatery I visited in Hanoi as it gets. And it's no surprise - the chef's photo on the menu is Vietnamese. This is the real deal. The restaurant has a nice authentic feel, even though it's located in the basement of a building. You usually get seated in a bustling hall with an open ceiling, but there's also a more peaceful semi-private area in the back. The food is delicious and generously portioned, but the drinks are a bit pricey, especially Vietnamese beer and shochu. So, if you're looking to drink a lot, the all-you-can-drink option might be more cost-effective.

Located along Shin Gotanda Street, this shop attracts a younger crowd and offers a wide variety of Vietnamese beers. You can enjoy three types of spring rolls: fresh, steamed, and fried. The menu also features a diverse range of Vietnamese dishes!

Visited a restaurant with my college classmates. It's rare to have Vietnamese cuisine in Yokohama or Tokyo, so I was happy. Osaka has a compact selection of great restaurants, so you can enjoy delicious food in Kita or Minami areas. We ordered a la carte dishes for our evening gathering. There were so many items on the menu that we couldn't decide, so we chose popular dishes from the ranking inside the restaurant. - Banh Xeo (Vietnamese crepe) - Fresh spring rolls - Fried spring rolls - Pickled mustard greens with stir-fried pork belly - Beef harami cooked in coconut butter - Shrimp chips - Pho and more We started with shrimp chips and salad. The shrimp in the fresh spring rolls (Goi Cuon) was firm and the basil was fragrant. A must-try is the Banh Xeo. I've had it in Ho Chi Minh City before, but the one at this restaurant is juicy despite being an egg dish, and the delicious sweetness of Vietnamese cuisine makes it tasty. It disappears in no time! The pickled mustard greens with stir-fried pork belly complement each other with the slight porky taste and chewy texture. I want to try using pickled mustard greens in my home cooking. The fried spring rolls are consistently delicious. No mistakes there. The beef harami is cooked on a tabletop using solid fuel, with coconut butter for flavor. It was my first time trying it, but it was rich in flavor and delicious. I want to go back again! Thank you for the meal.

I used it for lunch ^ ^ I visited around 13:00 on a weekday, but I was guided quickly at a good timing. As with the previous visit, most of the customers were Vietnamese, and I realized that the food is delicious and close to the authentic taste! I enjoyed Banh Mi and Pho deliciously ^ ^ When it comes to Vietnamese cuisine in Osaka, I also recommend Bia Hoi to my friends.

I have been looking for non-greasy dining options lately, and I remembered how light and easy to eat the pho was when I had it in Vietnam. So, I decided to visit Bia Hoi, which is conveniently located near the station and offers a wide variety of menu options. This time, I ordered the pho with five types of meat and boiled pork rice set. The pho had beef shin, beef tendon, beef shabu-shabu, beef meatballs, and Vietnamese ham, each in small portions. The main highlight was the beef broth, which was rich and flavorful. The pho noodles were not chewy as some reviews had mentioned, but more like udon noodles, which made it easy to eat. The table had various condiments like nuoc mam for flavoring, but the broth was already delicious on its own. The broth was stronger than what you would find in Vietnam, but it might suit Japanese taste preferences. I also ordered the che & drink buffet, which had increased in price to 500 yen on weekends and holidays. Despite the price hike, I always order it because of the variety of drinks and ingredients available. The che had fruits, mung beans, red beans, and agar agar, which could be enjoyed with almond sauce or coconut milk. It would have been better if there were syrups, but you could still enjoy different flavors. It was the first day of a long weekend, so I arrived 10 minutes before opening and found four groups already waiting. The place was almost full when it opened, with mostly female customers. The restaurant is quite spacious, so you can usually find a seat, but you need to order early to avoid a long wait. I was served within 5 minutes of being seated, but it could take around 20 minutes if you are slow. Overall, I had a great experience and will probably visit again in the future.

Visit date and time: April 18, 2023, 16:00 I became a "lunch refugee" and rushed into "Vietnamese Izakaya Bia Hoi." Located along the new Midosuji Street in Umeda, the restaurant is on the basement floor down a narrow staircase in a building. I ordered the "Vietnamese Crab Fried Rice Lunch." It turned out to be a much better restaurant than I had expected, and missing out on lunch at another place turned out to be fortunate. Food & Taste: 3.8 The "Vietnamese Crab Fried Rice Lunch" comes with salad and soup. The fried rice was very well done, with a nice fluffy texture and significantly reduced oil content. The seasoning was just lightly flavorful, but very delicious. Interestingly, there was a slight crispy texture with each bite, although I couldn't see any visible ingredients or burnt parts. The salad was a small portion but had a crunchy mix of various vegetables. The soup had plenty of sliced onions. All the dishes seemed to be geared towards health, leaving a good impression not just in taste but in overall quality. Service: 3.5 The staff provided polite service, and they seemed to get along well with each other. They offered to refill my water during the meal. There seems to be a buffet option available for lunch. It's commendable that they serve lunch until quite late, which was helpful for me since I couldn't get into another place due to being past their lunch hours. Atmosphere: 3.4 As mentioned, the location is quite unique. Despite the bustling crowds above ground, this restaurant is a hidden gem. The interior has a pub-like design with loud decorations near the ceiling, creating a unique atmosphere. The background music was mellow and in a language I couldn't identify, but it was at a comfortable volume. There were three or more customers when I arrived, but no one else came in later, likely due to being close to the last order time. Cost Performance: 3.0 The "Vietnamese Crab Fried Rice Lunch" was priced at 1100 yen. It's a bit on the higher side for lunch, but considering the location, it seems reasonable. Drink: Not available - data unknown. In comparison to the information I had before, the price of this fried rice dish was the only one that had increased. However, I was glad I ordered it, and it seems like the other dishes are worth trying as well.

I visited the Vietnamese bar, Bia Hoi, in Kakuda-cho, Kita-ku, Osaka for the first time. The all-you-can-drink option for 4,000 yen is a great deal. I tried Vietnamese beer, which was easy to drink. The food such as fresh spring rolls, pho, and fried rice was delicious too. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the Vietnamese restaurant Bia Hoi with a former colleague during my trip to the Indochina Peninsula. We ordered the 5,000 yen course, which included delicious dishes from fresh spring rolls to tapioca milk at the end. The Vietnamese beer 333 was light yet flavorful, which was wonderful. However, the wooden chairs, while adding to the street food vibe, were a bit uncomfortable for long periods of dining. It was disappointing that the amount charged did not reflect the points I had used in advance (I informed them and the payment was adjusted to the correct amount).

I visited a Vietnamese restaurant in Umeda, Osaka that has been around for a long time! During lunchtime on weekdays, you can add a buffet for an extra 200 yen (+100 yen for a drink bar). The buffet includes Chè, a Vietnamese dessert made with sweetened beans, taro, agar jelly, fruits, and coconut milk. I had a hard time choosing from the extensive lunch menu but ended up selecting the "Spicy Coconut Chicken Stew for 950 yen". It was quite small, so I decided to go for the all-you-can-eat buffet! There were various ingredients to mix with two types of coconut milk. The dishes were the size of teacups, so I grabbed a lot at once (laughs). Mixing the sweet coconut milk with the ingredients was very delicious! I ended up feeling full from the buffet part of the lunch! It was a satisfying lunch with the buffet option.

A shop where you can enjoy authentic Vietnamese cuisine for around 1,000 yen. The underground location provides a calm atmosphere, and it is within walking distance from Umeda, making it convenient to visit. The set menu with all-you-can-drink soft drinks and all-you-can-eat coconut milk dessert feels like a great deal.

I think this restaurant is one of the most Vietnamese-like in Japan. Both the atmosphere and the menu truly reflect Vietnam... If you are looking for authentic dishes rather than fancy ones, this place is perfect for you.

I received a request for ethnic cuisine and visited this place for the first time. I ordered Goi Cuon, Banh Xeo, Green Papaya and Shrimp Salad, Crispy Lemongrass Tofu, Chicken Pho, and Che. Everything I ate was delicious! The drinks like Chai were also tasty! The flavors were light but full of umami, so you can keep eating more. Especially the Green Papaya and Shrimp Salad is endless. You must order this. I tried Banh Xeo, a specialty of Ho Chi Minh City for the first time, it's like stir-fried bean sprouts wrapped in egg and then wrapped in leaves, very delicious. The majority of the customers in the restaurant are Vietnamese? There are many foreigners, it doesn't feel like Osaka. Really, I was surprised by how delicious it was! It was a big hit! Highly recommended!

I have been visiting this restaurant occasionally for about 15 years. This time was a long-awaited visit. I decided to have pho, and the menu was quickly decided! The braised pork rice that comes with the set was delicious too. And the buffet, which was temporarily suspended during the pandemic, is back! I went for seconds twice. I could have definitely had one more bowl... I will definitely want to visit this restaurant again.

Hidden gem restaurant located in the underground of Umeda Station. Recommended by my Vietnamese friend as "the best Vietnamese restaurant in Osaka", I had been looking forward to visiting for a while. The atmosphere inside was decorated with ethnic touches, resembling a lively street food stall in a tropical country with loud music playing. We ordered the lunch menu: "Fresh Spring Roll Set" for ¥1,500 and "Pho Lunch" for ¥900. The spring roll set had just the right amount, and I was able to finish it without getting tired of it. The Pho lunch, which my husband ordered, had a generous portion of noodles, which may be too much for those with a smaller appetite. As expected from a recommendation by my Vietnamese friend, the menu included Vietnamese language, and there were also some Vietnamese customers in the restaurant, making the taste closer to authentic. I like Vietnamese cuisine, but I was worried about fish sauce and tropical spices, which I'm not fond of, but the dishes were not too strong in flavor and easy to eat.

I ordered vegetable pho because I'm on a diet. The vegetables were fragrant and delicious. Maybe it would be even tastier if there was a bit more richness overall, perhaps with some meat in it. Surprisingly, I felt quite full. I also had fresh spring rolls, which were delicious. Next time, I want to try the curry or something else.

I tried a Vietnamese restaurant recommended for Vietnamese people living in Japan for the first time. The interior of the restaurant was quite spacious, and I was a bit surprised to find a Vietnamese cuisine restaurant in such a place! The staff and customers were mostly Vietnamese, creating an atmosphere that felt like a different world from Japan. Just experiencing this alone made it worth a visit. The menu was extensive, so I left all the ordering to my Vietnamese acquaintance. I was worried that the dishes might be difficult to eat because of the strong taste of coriander, but there was hardly any coriander in the dishes, and they were delicious once I switched to a Vietnamese mindset. It was exciting to try dishes that I don't usually eat, and the Vietnamese-style dessert was also enjoyable. It's a place where you can experience a little bit of Vietnam, so I highly recommend visiting at least once.

I went to a three-star authentic Vietnamese restaurant recommended by my friend who works there! I thought Vietnamese cuisine might have a strong taste, but the pho was really easy to eat ✨ Plus, if you order the lunch set, you can have all-you-can-eat che (dessert) too! When I saw lots of Vietnamese people eating there, I realized it must be the real deal ☺️
