I think this place is only suitable for drinking beer and chilling outdoors for the street breeze. I ordered almost everything on the menu (the bill was over 2 million VND), but the only thing I’d rate highly was the kimchi soup, maybe 9.5/10. Everything else ranged from average to pretty bad. The pizza honestly shocked me — half a cheese pizza, only 22cm, for 180,000 VND. I’d rank it the worst pizza I’ve ever had. And I think you should remove the word “bar” from the restaurant name (sorry if that sounds rude). There are basically no non-alcoholic drink options besides soft drinks. No cocktails at all, just regular spirits and casual wine. The only positives for me were the slightly street-style vibe and the friendly staff.
