VIET HOA CAFE

Viet Hoa Cafe is your average Vietnamese joint with a sprinkle of charm and a side of confusion. The tofu bun bowl is generous—like, they really went all out on the tofu, which is a rarity these days. Róisín was all about the veg dumplings, but we should probably give a thumbs-up for the pho since it got a decent rep. But let’s be real, with staff who can be as engaged as a stone wall and a mix of delightful and drab dishes, it’s like a culinary rollercoaster ride where the highs are nice, but the lows hit hard. Oh, and the banh mi? It’s on the list for next time; fingers crossed it doesn’t disappoint.

Now, the service has its moments—like when you’re left hanging for ages before someone takes your order (#awkward). Sofia Garcia felt the staff were a bit too chill, making you question if they’re running a restaurant or a meditation retreat. And let’s not ignore the not-so-fun stories of food issues and less-than-stellar service from Tiffanie and Arthur. So, in summary, if you’re in the mood for a mixed bag of vibe and flavor, go for it. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.
