Located on the far side of Hong Kong 4, Vinh Huong is a bit hidden and isolated from the rest of…read morethe shops there. They specialize in Vietnamese beef meatballs, pork paste, and fish cakes. The store is small and may not look like much, but they definitely have the best Vietnamese beef meatballs in town. The prices are reasonable, and there is also an additional discount for paying with cash. I've tried many different Vietnamese beef meatballs from different sources, but nowhere else can beat Vinh Huong's quality. Every aspect (the flavors, textures, and consistency) of their meatballs is perfect. They are my go-to meatballs when my family makes pho at home. Even their fish cakes are just as nice.

They have a wide variety of desserts which is very nice! The servers were super attentive and helped us with everything. I got the bun bo hue and my boyfriend got the Bo kho, I personally thought the bun bo hue was a little too sweet, but they provide fish sauce and shrimp paste on the table. We got a box of the jello for $15 which was a great deal, I loved the subtle coffee and pandan flavors in them. Overall, I will definitely be back and if you stop by, give their deserts a try! :)

His energy was infectious. The garlic noodles with the shrimp were some of the best we've had in town. Worth the try. Packed with flavor! You must get the Beef Short Ribs. Don't think. It's a must. They have a Beef Stew Banh Mi in the Banh Mi section of their menu. I legit thought it would be some type of stewed beef inside a baguette, but I was wrong. It's a beef stew served in a bowl with which you can dunk the warm baguette. Good flavor but we got a bunch of tendon in our bowl. You must try their specialty Vietnamese iced coffee and their corn milk along with Thai teas. All homemade and super delicious. We will be back!

They did take credit card here.

I don't think I've ever consumed so much shrimp paste in my life, so if you don't like that flavor you probably wanna go elsewhere, but other than that everything was just really comforting and nice to eat. My least favorite of what we got was the Banh Bot Chien, and even that was still really good and had a nice crunch. Everything else we ordered was all really authentic and very forward with flavor. The restaurant was incredibly busy on the Saturday we went, with the bustling lunch crowd of both large families and old couples filling up the entire restaurant, so try to go at an off-hour where most people aren't eating. It was just an incredible experience that I 100% recommend to anyone wanting authentic Vietnamese food.

First visit to this restaurant/store standalone building with a small parking lot…read more Half is the grocery store and the other half is a restaurant with a full buffet- vegetables and desserts -savory and sweet. Mid sized dining with full glass windows. Once you complete your meal, pick up your food tray, and bring it to counter next to desserts. Someone was waiting to remove empty food trays. I ordered Jasmine rice mixed veggies blend of broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, and carrots.

Veggie me, veggie you…read more Even after years and years, still one of my fave places when I need to meat decompress. It's a grocery store that has a hot food section with dining and ready to go prepared foods. They also sell banh mis but I heard they've changed a bit. They used to have a tofu and mushroom one that was so perfection. Big pieces of tofu and mushrooms marinated in this delicious sauce. Now I heard they use a tofu and mushroom loaf that is made in house. They also have noodle soups and Vietnamese dishes (com tam, vermicelli noodles, etc) but I go for the deli style lunch box. For $11.75 you get a choice of rice (I've seen brown and purple) or noodles (I always get the noods) plus 3 choices. And a small veggie soup. The lunch box options rotate, there are some items that they have more often. I always get their green beans and I try their various tofu options. Recently they had an eggplant stir fry and it was delicious. There is also an ala carte section that has dim sum items. I love their turnip cake (law bak go). One order comes with 3 pieces and a soy sauce and a chili oil ($5.50). The grocery store has expanded and sells pantry items (noodles, rice, sauces, snacks, etc) as well as fruits and veggies and frozen items (fake meat items). If you are a vegetarian or just need a break, def try this spot. You won't regret it.

I frequent here for bargains like seasonal items like moon cakes月餅, New Year cakes年糕and other casual pastries displayed at the entrance. Most of my trinkets for my annual Lunar New Year UYE's are found here: White Rabbit Milk Candies大白兔奶糖, Morinaga Milk Caramel 森永牛奶糖, Chinese New Year's shortcake candies 徐福記酥心糖 and Point 100 Gummi Candies. This is my go-to place for my medicinal soups and ready-made traditional Chinese medicines (TCM 中藥) - all made by reputable companies. They have high end stuff I couldn't touch: birds' nest 燕窩, ginseng 人蔘, ganoderma 靈芝and exotic herbal medicines. Whenever I need anything for my house, I come to Hong Kong Seafood City because all merchandise is imported directly from the sources. I am never disappointed with the friendly staff's recommendation. They helped me decide for each occasion. The prices are always competitive and products are always fresh. Don't be misled by the category, this "seafood market" sells dried, frozen or canned seafood. Don't expect fish tank here.

I visited Hangout Fruit Juices & Bites and ordered "French Fries" (item #42 on the menu). When my…read moreorder was served, I received Kimchi Fries instead. I asked the cashier to clarify and was told: "If you want plain fries you must say 'French Fries only.' Here if you say 'French Fries' we do the kimchi version. Plain is for kids." The menu, however, simply lists "French Fries" with no mention of kimchi or needing to say "only." I ordered exactly what was printed. It would have been appreciated if the staff had acknowledged the confusion and offered an apology rather than placing the responsibility on me. I ended up paying again for plain fries. I hope the restaurant updates the menu wording and ensures staff clarify when there's ambiguity--clear communication would improve the experience for everyone.
