" Hạ Long Café has quickly become one of my favorites! I love the cozy vibe and the friendly staff. Their seafood spring rolls are amazing—so fresh and bursting with flavor. I would recommend this place to anyone craving excellent Vietnamese food. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried the tofu banh mi, and while it was decent, it felt like it lacked the traditional punch of flavors. The place was clean and comfortable, but I expected a bit more from my meal based on all the rave reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried the bubble tea and was a bit underwhelmed. I expected a more robust flavor based on the name, but it tasted quite bland. However, their rice vermicelli bowls are a hit! Fresh ingredients and great textures. Service could be quicker, especially during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, another place that didn’t live up to the hype. The pho had very little flavor and so few herbs that it felt more like broth than a traditional dish. Service was fine, but that didn't make up for the lack of authentic taste. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough about Hạ Long Café! The pho is a must-try—rich broth, succulent beef, and fresh herbs. I love how you can adjust the toppings to suit your taste. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. Will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try this place due to the reviews, but the pho was just average. The broth could've used more herbs and spices. The ambiance is nice, but I expected better food based on what I heard. I would try something else next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this café based on the reviews, but my experience was mixed. While the food was decent, I found it somewhat lacking in authenticity compared to other Vietnamese places I've visited. The service was a bit slow, and the setting could use some sprucing up. I might give it another try, but there are plenty of other spots to explore as well. " (*Curated Review*)
