" We came here during a busy weekend, and I realized I should have made a reservation. Waited a bit for a table but once seated, the experience was great. I ordered the green papaya salad and loved it! Fusion of textures and flavors made it a standout dish. The staff were friendly, though time management could be improved when it comes to service. Overall, a great place to try out Vietnamese cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I visited Rau Bistro, I was blown away by the 7 course beef. Each dish was expertly prepared, and the flavors transported me back to Vietnam. Coming from a Vietnamese family, I could tell that the chefs really cared about authenticity, using fresh herbs and ingredients. The only downside was that the service was a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, it’s a must-visit for anyone looking for true Vietnamese flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a great find! I stumbled upon Rau Bistro and decided to dive in. I tried their bubble tea with real taro and was in love! It tastes so much better than anything I've had before. We ordered a mix of traditional and fusion dishes. The space itself is vibrant and lively. Overall, I’d say it’s one of the best places for Vietnamese cuisine in the city. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Rau Bistro based on all the positive hype. The experience was quite good. The food was tasty, but I must admit some dishes fell short of being authentic compared to what I’m accustomed to. The restaurant is beautiful, and the service was prompt. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but I think I can find better authenticity elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" I initially went to Rau Bistro out of curiosity after hearing rave reviews from friends, and I was not disappointed! The portions are generous, which is always appreciated, and the flavors are authentic and fresh. I found the coconut jello to be a refreshing dessert option that balanced the savory meal perfectly. Would love to try their vegan menu options next time! " (*Curated Review*)

The staff were friendly, guiding us through the various options. I found the portions to be quite generous too, which was nice. Highly recommend if you want to taste authentic Vietnamese food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Rau Bistro last week and was pleasantly surprised! The variety on the menu was impressive, especially their unique dishes that I don't see often in other Vietnamese restaurants. I tried the green papaya salad, and it was definitely a highlight. The service was mainly friendly, although it did take some time to get our orders. Still, I would recommend this place for its fresh ingredients and authentic tastes. " (*Curated Review*)
