" Bacogai is a delightful find! The decor is sleek, and the service is top-notch. I was thrilled with the oxtail hot pot I ordered—the broth was outstanding. I also enjoyed the fried bananas for dessert, which were divine! I did feel the prices were higher, but I appreciated the quality and freshness of ingredients. This is definitely a place I would recommend. I’ll be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this restaurant! Bacogai offers an amazing hot pot experience with fresh ingredients and delightful flavors. The shrimp chips that came with the salad were especially delicious. The staff were very attentive and friendly, creating a delightful dining atmosphere. Highly recommend trying the desserts too—especially the fried bananas which were out of this world! I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bacogai impressed me with its range of authentic dishes. The duck salad was one of the best I’ve ever had, and the service was fantastic. Each dish we had was flavorful, especially the oxtail hot pot—it was rich and comforting. However, portions were on the smaller side compared to prices, which might deter some. Overall, it’s a hidden gem I’d recommend to diners looking for quality Vietnamese cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very pleased with my experience at Bacogai! The unique offerings like the individual hot pot really take the cake. The duck salad was crunchy and refreshing, while the oxtail broth was wonderfully rich. The service was exceptional, and the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere. I left feeling happy, though I did wish the portion sizes were a bit bigger. All in all, it was a fabulous evening, and I plan to make this a regular spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Bacogai as I was looking for some hot pot with friends, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! The variety of broths available was impressive, and we tried the oxtail and the pork bone marrow hot pots. Both were rich in flavor and had a great depth! The duck salad appetizer was super refreshing too. We absolutely had a feast! The server was friendly and provided great recommendations. Will definitely be back for more! " (*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*)
