" I love this restaurant! It might not have the best exterior, but the food is what really matters. I made the trip to try the goat dishes, and they did not disappoint! The goat soup was rich and full of flavor. The service was a bit slow, but once the food arrived, I understood why—everything is made fresh and with great care. If you’re looking for a cozy spot to enjoy real Vietnamese goat dishes, look no further! Can’t wait to come back and try more items from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been a fan of Bình Minh for years! Every time I visit, I try to get the grilled goat and their special dipping sauce. It feels like home cooking. Yes, it's a dive bar vibe, but it makes me feel connected to my roots. The service is usually decent, although a little slow during peak times. For those who enjoy goat dishes and want a true taste of Vietnam, this is your place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Bình Minh for the first time based on all the raving reviews about their goat dishes. I ordered the goat soup and was impressed with the depth of flavor in the broth. However, I felt the service was lacking, as there was a delay in receiving my order. The place has a casual ambiance filled with locals—they definitely know where to find good eats! Though the food was good, the wait times might deter me from coming back on a busy weekend. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went with friends for drinks and snacks, and I really liked the vibe of Bình Minh! The place was busy, but the energy was great. We ordered a variety of goat dishes and some beers, and everything was delicious. The quality of food was exceptional, and the prices were reasonable. This place is certainly perfect for a night out with buddies. I wouldn't say it's a fine dining place, but it definitely has its own charm. I will be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bình Minh is a hidden gem! The atmosphere may be a bit lacking, as it's more of a hole-in-the-wall place, but the goat food is top-notch! I particularly enjoyed the rolled ground goat—it was phenomenal! The staff is quite friendly, and while it can be busy, they handle the crowd quite well. If you're someone who appreciates authentic Vietnamese bars where locals hang out and enjoy delicious food, this is the spot for you! I can see myself making this a regular hangout.

" If you're in the mood for authentic Vietnamese goat dishes, Bình Minh is a must-visit! I've had the pleasure of trying multiple dishes, including their goat stew, and each was bursting with flavor. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous as well. While it's not the fanciest restaurant, what it lacks in decor, it makes up for in food. This place is a fantastic spot for a casual meal or a night out with friends. I had a memorable dining experience and will certainly return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Bình Minh and was very pleased with the authenticity of the dishes. The goat hotpot was superb, filled with tender meat and aromatic herbs that complemented the dish beautifully. However, I did notice the service seemed a bit overwhelmed, which led to a longer wait time. The atmosphere is more of a casual dive than a fancy restaurant, which didn't bother me but might not be for everyone. Overall, if you're seeking delicious, authentic Vietnamese cuisine, this place won't disappoint! " (*Curated Review*)
