" We had an amazing time at Bacogai! The hot pot was unique and definitely a fun twist on traditional Vietnamese cuisine. I tried the beef luc lac, and it was cooked to perfection. The freshness of the ingredients stood out, and I appreciated the range of vegetables offered. However, I felt some of the appetizers were a bit pricey for what we received. Overall, lovely evening, and totally a must-visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is stunning! I loved the pandon waffles for dessert; they were a delight and paired perfectly with the ice cream. For dinner, the oxtail hot pot was my favorite; the broth was rich but not overpowering. I found the atmosphere to be cozy and welcoming, ideal for a relaxed evening. Our server, who was very knowledgeable about the menu, made our experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Bacogai for anyone who loves hot pot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just finished an incredible meal at Bacogai! The personal hot pot is such a unique experience and hit the spot! I particularly enjoyed the seafood hot pot. The flavors were delicate yet full of richness. The staff were excellent – very attentive and quick to serve. The only downside was the price seemed a little elevated for the portions served. Regardless, I would go back to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I always had high hopes for Bacogai but felt a little let down. While the food had potential, the oxtail broth we ordered didn't have the complexity I expected. It was somewhat muted in flavor. The service was attentive, and we appreciated the cozy setting. However, the prices were a bit high compared to what I felt was served. It’s worth a visit, but maybe manage your expectations on the flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a unique find! I loved Bacogai's modern take on classic Vietnamese flavors. The personal hot pot was so much fun, and the seafood options were brilliant. I found the fried bananas for dessert to be addictive, something I can't stop thinking about! The waitstaff were friendly and quick to serve. While the prices may seem a bit high, the quality makes it worthwhile. Definitely recommend trying it out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic time at Bacogai. The atmosphere is chic and well-decorated, perfect for a modern Vietnamese dining experience. The hot pot was fresh and the variety of broths made it exceptional. I especially liked the oxtail broth, it had that homely feel to it. The dessert selection was also delightful! My only issue was the portion sizes; I left still a bit hungry. Other than that, great food and ambiance! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bacogai is a hidden gem! I was thrilled with the individual hot pot experience. The crab rolls were crispy and packed with flavor, and the duck salad had the perfect crunch with its fresh herbs. The only downside was that the portions were a little small, and I was left wanting more. The service was exceptionally attentive, and the ambiance was nice. I plan to go again to try more dishes, especially the seafood pot! " (*Curated Review*)
