" During a cold winter day, my craving for soup led me to Cafe Hoang, and I am glad I went! Their bún bò Huế truly hit the spot with its aromatic flavors and tender beef. I also tried their fried rice and found it to be quite delicious. It was overflowing with flavor, and the portions were generous for the price. The only downside was that the place was a bit noisy, but I didn't mind too much since the food made up for it. I will definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Cafe Hoang and was really impressed with their bún bò Huế. It had a rich, complex broth that speaks to the authenticity of the dish. Each spoonful was bursting with flavor, and they didn’t shy away from the spices. The noodles were perfectly cooked, with a nice chew. The service was attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy which made for an enjoyable meal. I can’t wait to go back and try more items from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

The dish had both a nice spice and aromatic quality. While we waited for our food, we enjoyed some fresh salad rolls and can’t wait to return to try even more dishes from the menu. The ambiance was nice, making it a great spot for a casual date. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Hoang is a remarkable place for authentic Vietnamese cuisine. My friends and I had a great dinner here last week. The bún bò Huế was spicy and delightful, balancing savory and fragrant notes perfectly. It was heartwarming and just what we needed on a chilly evening. Service was also excellent; our server made great recommendations and was very friendly. The only complaint would be the wait time for food, but it was definitely worth it. I’d return in a heartbeat!
