Restaurant review — Cao Lau that actually delivered

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Cao Lau well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The subtly sweet and spiced base was authentic and the use of star anise broth showed real knowledge.

Vietnamese cuisine shows French colonial influence alongside traditional Southeast Asian techniques. The atmosphere was genuinely a street banh mi counter, which the food matched. bia hoi draught beer came with the meal as it should. The portions were generous and the price was fair. A reliable place for this dish.
