Having eaten lots of authentic Vietnamese food from US, Canada and Vietnam, the food is really far from authentic. I read the reviews before trying the food and I'm surprised because many raved about it! I paid around $30 CAD (66,000 COP) for the meal and for this price I would've had an incredible Vietnamese meal back home. I think the restaurant decor and experience was very nice. I didn't try the cocktails but they look tasty. Overall I think reviews for the food is extremely inflated. I had the Pho Bo and the Imperial Rolls (fried spring rolls). The broth was too salty and lacked flavour. The noodles were kind of hard. The meat quality was okay - it was probably the best part about it. The rolls were disappointing. They were deep fried yet soggy. The filling of the spring roll was also overly salty. I don't think I expected very authentic Asian food coming to Colombia, but with reviews this high I did expect more. I did not try other dishes so those could have been better.

Beautiful decor (the parasol roof is quite original) and lovely staff, I’m very fond of Vietnamese cuisine and I have eaten my fair share of Pho Bo in many different countries including Vietnam. I have to say that the quality here is very good. It’s simply delicious. It’s hard to find good authentic Asian food in Colombia so it was really a breath of fresh air to be dining here today. The prices are reasonable and the music is also very good, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who desires a taste of Vietnam.

We liked the relaxed outdoor atmosphere more than anything and the coco limonadas. Large pan Asian menu — wouldn’t say it’s the most authentic but good enough to satisfy a craving. The bún bowl was better than the pho.

Super authentic Pho Bo! I didn’t expect to see raw beef in my bowl and the hot broth that cooked it right there in front of me. Bird’s eye chilli and the right type of basil would make it even better but well… I know the effort was made and the result was still awesome. Better than a lot of Vietnamese restaurants in Europe. The crème brûlée was also great with a fresh taste of orange. Would love to go back and try other Asian dishes - which was why I didn’t go for a long time, worried it was just a gimmick to do digger Asian dishes and nothing would be good. How wrong I was. It’s a pleasant surprise.

Bahn mi tofu was nice but the ramen shoyu and the cerdo a la parrilla were not good at all. The latter had no hoisin sauce and was therefore extremely dry. The soup was cold because it took them 10 minutes to bring it from the kitchen to the table and there were only mushrooms in it. Not good food at all! Staff is pretty unprofessional since they dance at the bar, lingering around. Disappointing experience

🔸Good Vietnamese inspired food, don't go expecting something 100% authentic but definitely a lot of dishes done the way they should be. 🔸We had the fresh spring rolls with the optional (it's an extra) peanut sauce. The rolls themselves could have used more shrimp but they were still good. 🔸The chicken lettuce wraps were very delicious, with and without the included sauce. 🔸Salmon Bao was also pretty good and the combo option (mix of 5) is probably the best way to go if you want to try 3 🔸Watermelon Lemonade was ok, I would skip it 🔸Service was good but he also forget our Bao which I had to ask about

Very few asian restaurants in Medellin but this one is decent. One advantage we the the PHo is they give you more than enough meat. There is hidden pieces under the rice noodles. It does lack traditional spices in the broth but it satisfied me enough. It definitely isn't close to what I have ate while living in Vietnam. The vibe is amazing as it is outdoors while enjoying some spring rolls and Pho

This is my favorite asian cousine in Medellin. Their Pho is outstanding, and they have a different vegetarian and beef style. Service is ok, they seem to have a constant flow of new waitresses but the food is whats outstanding here.

Everything was perfect. Food, drinks, service. The 4 stars are because there is a cat that lives in the restaurant and I have severe cat allergies and I don't think a cat belongs in a closed restaurant space at all.

A very good surprise! The restaurant is super nice, well located and well decorated too. Tried the pork and the salmon and it was absolutely tasty! I sticked to the South Asian dishes because I was a bit worried when I saw they also offer ramen...it's usually a bad sign when some restaurant offer every kind of Asian food on the menu. But maybe they're good as well, can't say anything since I didn't try. Back to the experience, the service was as well very nice and professional! Good job guys!

We had a good time at Halong Vietnamita but there we're some small details which prevent a higher rating. Biggest point for us, the food was not really warm - it would be better if the plates would be warmed upfront. In addition it is a quite costly restaurant - then I would expect, that everything is perfect.

Just finished my meal here and loved it. Got the Pho Ga, summer rolls and this pork vermicelli dish. Would recommend all 3 dishes. Most importantly, this restaurant was safe in terms of covid: the staff is very conscious of safety protocols and made me feel at ease.

I was pretty impressed by this Vietnamese restaurant in Medellin! The menu is on point and the food is pretty good, not your authentic Vietnamese place but close enough. I was happy and I will go again. The service was good but you have to make eye contact with one of the staff and they will come to you. The atmosphere was nice, it's a spacious terrace with a lot of trees and giant umbrellas to protect in case of rain (it did rain a bit when I was there) and there's a bit of road noise.

No great but it’s something that resembles Vietnamese. Very refined in presentation and service- they even bottle their own sauces. But all the flavors in every dish were had were not Vietnamese at all. Expensive too.

Lovely outdoor space, good for a date. The pho was fairly authentic, though a little bit basic. I have the beef but my friend got the veggie one and hers looked great. The menu also has Thai dishes and sushi rolls, which some people might like, but personally I consider that a lack of focus. The pad thai was meh.

Service and place was good but i had the worst PHO in my life. the PHO broth was absolutely horrible. Its straight up like very salty water. Key to viet restaurant is the broth and they need to fix this. Idk how this place got good reviews

Exquisite. Service is excellent! Best pho in Medellin.

the food looks good but it tastes like water. the price is to high. 28$ for one veggi pho...

Great place to come and enjoy a good low key vibe in Manila. The food was delicious. Pet friendly so your dog is welcomed. They do have parking available. Food quality was fresh and its not expensive at all to eat here. If you’re visiting or living here and want to try something different then I would recommend the place.

Excellent food and cocktails. The broth was legit. And everything was great. The staff was super friendly and nice. Only thing was the brisket was slightly on the tough side and I didn't get chopsticks for my pho. But aside from that, everything was amazing. The broth was good and Tasted very legit and no msg. Nice deep broth. The salad roll was also really good and legit. They had really good house made hot sauce. Didn't expect that for colombia. Better than some I've had in the USA.

What a nice surprise to find quite authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Medellin! The place was quite spacious and having pleasant rock music going. Open structures with fresh air coming in, cold beer was great to go with fried dishes. The place was almost full and the serving was slow (only beer was instant) but they all tasted great. Still the manager was keen to take care of us and he made our experience much better. I just hope their bahn xeo to be little bit more crispy and beef in the pho to be more tender. Crispy pork was amazing with cinnamon sauce and baos(steam bun sandwiches) and spring rolls were truly tasty. I would recommend this place not only to Koreans who are dying for hot soup but also to locals who haven’t tried this type of Asian cuisine. Thank you, Halong!

They were out of Pho which was the reason we came. But everything else we’ve ordered was delicious (maybe besides the Ramen). Cocktails were great! Not too pricy Very well designed!

Great food and good pricing for the quality. The food was served very quickly, we didn’t have to wait long after ordering. Very authentic and delicious! Definitely planning on coming back soon!! 😋

I give this place 3.5 stars . This restaurant concept is really nice as it is outside roofed by large tent like umbrellas . The ambience is tropical like parts of Vietnam. The restaurant is fairly medium sized with about 15? Tables and a decent size bar. We had the rare steak pho, chicken pho , and combo fried rice . Soups are okay but it did it’s job as I eat pho when I feel sick , need energy , etc . There is no spicy ness as they provide u sriracha (equal to Taco Bell hot sauce ) . So if your wanting spicy then just know it’s not but it’s common in Colombia (as it seems) not to eat spicy at all or just a tad bit . The fried rice was pretty good and the lumpia w shrimp rolls were decent . I would definitely come here for a drink and hang out. It appears they have a sister restaurant Saigon fire, I would want to try that I would say this place is prolly the most authentic to any Asian place but not authentic for me as I eat pho at least two times a week. But I get it , it’s Colombia lol

Nice ambience and friendly staff. The pho is good, although it doesn't taste like any of the pho I had when living in Vietnam. Credit card accepted.

A very disappointed lunch. Had Pho Ga and summer rolls. The Pho Ga was tasteless，the summer rolls looked like been made in a hurry. The service was okay. But the food was way better two years ago. Wont go again.

Good service, decent food. But of course doing from an Asian background I’ve had better but this was close. For Colombia area, this is not bad for viet food!

Nice ambiance, good menu selection and tasty dishes - will definitely return!

The place is in a really good location, the atmosphere is one of the best things about this restaurant. Also the menu selection is good and the food I can tell is really accurate and tasty according to Vietnamese food. The service was average

Good apps, pho and amazing crime brûlée dessert
