    Cozy, quaint, and romantic Vietnamese spot. No frills here and quality was as expected! The gentleman spoke English and they had an English menu, which I appreciated as I don’t know the language aside from basic phrases. My meal was under €20 excluding the sake that had a treat for me at the bottom of the glass. Seriously, order the sake. Hopefully you receive a special treat too! I order a small chicken pho, which made me feel like I got ripped off at this other place I went to around the corner. It was yummy, but I put too many peppers in it. It relieved my congestion though! I also ordered egg rolls, but got spring rolls. I was too timid to send it back since it could’ve been lost in translation and because the service was very pleasant! I ate them (fresh and yummy) and the sauce that came with it. The chef (only one lady) came out and checked on me and other patrons. It’s only 26 seats, but because I went on a chilly, rainy night it wasn’t too packed when I went in at 8PM. If I wasn’t trying to hit many new restaurants during my few months here, I’d make this a regular spot. Actually, I still might! I felt my business was appreciated and the value for what I paid was worth it.

    It's a tiny little place near the Bourse, we've been going for years because it's such a friendly place. It's changed hands since we last went but it's just as good, the food was excellent and the Duvel reasonably priced :-)

    From outside you wouldn't be able to tell this place serves the best tasting Pho & Bun Bo Hue in Brussels. The owners are so nice and the food is incredibly fresh and tasty. Everything cooked to order so prepare for some waiting time when the place is full (quick service when less then that). Be patient and you will be rewarded.

    I have tried Vietnamese food in many places in Europe but this restaurant serves really tasty Vietnamese dishes. The grilled clams are tasty with the dipping sauce. If you are looking for Bun Bo Hue, you wouldn’t feel disappointed here. The restaurant is quite small so a big group may meet difficulties to eat here. However, the services are good and the staff is friendly. I wouldn’t expect anything more than this.

    I highly recommend “Bun bo hue” if you can eat spicy food. This is the best Vietnamese dish outside Vietnam territory. The service is quite slow but it’s worth waiting. DONT mistake for other stores next to this one which may look brighter. Thiên Long is the keyword for the good dish

    This is the best place to get super delicious pho. The soup is clear but so tasteful. The pricing is also pretty correct. This is a small place with possibly less than 20 seats so do come in early to get a seat! If you are on a budget, they also offer lunch menu at 6.50€ where you get a soup and main dish. Here i took the sweet and sour pork with the crab and asparagus soup.

    Best Bun Bo Hue I’ve had in a while. It was so delicious, very tasty! Unfortunately I live far away, if it was nearby I would come often. The owners are also very friendly and kind.

    (0/5) VERY BAD!!! We’ve waited for over 15minutes before they took our order, then another 1,5h for our food to arrive. The food was undercooked, not what we asked and overall just not tasty.

  • 1/5 Hồ Thanh V. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff was completely rude and ignore us totally for 15 minutes. He didn't even wanted to come to our table to get the order at all. We tried to get his attention to order (the restaurant was empty and he's not serving anyone at that moment), he just pretend like he didn't see us, very disrespectful (the moment he realised that we are non-French speaker he decided to just ignore us from then on), after that we both decided to leave the restaurant and guess what... he didn't show any sign of minding that. I am very sad because I am Vietnamese and this is my first time ever rated badly for a Vietnamese restaurant. But this is a super bad experience and I would not recommend!!!

    (Translated by Google) First time in this restaurant which does not look like much from the outside. Great welcome, good respect for distances during this Covid period. An excellent meal, I was able to find the real taste of spring rolls like at home. We feel that the vegetables are fresh and a great conversation with the managers. (Original) Première fois dans ce resto qui ne paye pas de mine de l'extérieur. Super accueil, un bon respect des distances en cette période de Covid.

    Real authentic Vietnamese pho and bun Bo hue, we also tried bun ốc (and it was delicious). The only minor negative point is, it took a while for the food to come. I would give a 5 stars if not for the time waiting (worth the wait though)….

    Food is very basic Vietnamese, yet the wait was painfully LONG. 90 minutes for some wok prepared meals. A joke, though not a funny one. Maybe that's why the restaurant is named Thien LONG. It's a cryptic message! Go to Yaki, Lotus Vert or Lotus Bleu for much better cuisine and more competent service. .

    Very good restaurant. One of the best Vietnamees restaurants. Cosy family restaurant, very polite and friendly people. Husband and wife running the restaurant, with fresh cooked diners. Don't go for a quick diner, but take the time. IT is worth the waiting

  • 2/5 hurollig 1 year ago on Google
    S-L-O-W! We waited almost one hour for our starter (two cold (!) Vietnamese rolls). When finally serving the starter, they forgot to provide us with napkins and didn't prepare the table for the main course. There was only one other table which funnily enough was served ahead of us despite us having arrived earlier. It was really not busy at all which is why it was absolutely shocking when after a record-breaking 90 minutes our two main courses were served. No apology or comment whatsoever, as if this was a normal service. Note that we ordered vermicelli (mostly cold) and the special rice with beef (also not too difficult to prepare). When leaving, I asked whether there was an issue in the kitchen and I was told that the waiting time was absolutely normal and that guests should let them know if they are in a hurry (!). The veg is prepared on the spot, hence the long wait... Also, there was no explanation to why the other table was served ahead of us even though we ordered way ahead of them. For completeness, the food was good but not overwhelming. The dishes we ordered were rather basic which was intentional. Despite our discreet complaint, the owners stayed professional and friendly. All in all, if you have the choice, you may check out one of the other Vietnamese places on that street. Personally I feel quite disappointed after my first experience at Thien Long. With all this competition around the corner, they really need to step up their game.

    Food is good. Ambience bit outdated. Need to wait very long for food to arrive! Prepare to drink and talk a lot to kill some time! Restaurant next to this one was fully packed when we eat here. Maybe because they are fast or just more delicous we dont know… but at Thien Long the Pho and Hun Bo Huế is prepared with love. Again service very slow which is why we give it only 3 stars out of 5.
