The
ambience
is
nice
and
the
service
is
great,
two
stars
for
them.
For
food,
the
Vietnamese
rice
noodles
here
are
now
the
worst
I've
ever
had
in
the
Netherlands.
Everything
was
not
right.
The
beef
broth
already
had
a
weird
sour
taste
before
the
lime
was
added,
the
rice
noodles
were
clumped
together
in
the
bowl,
not
fresh
and
therefore
no
texture.
The
rice
noodles
in
the
tofu
soup
were
flavorless.
For
authentic
Vietnamese
vermicelli,
the
chili,
bean
sprouts
and
cilantro
should
be
added
separately
on
the
plate
and
the
customer
would
decide
whether
to
add
it
or
not,
but
here
it
was
added
directly
to
the
soup.
The
spicy
soup
of
thin
rice
noodles
and
the
classic
banana-based
Vietnamese
dessert
that
appeared
in
the
old
Google
reviews
are
no
longer
offered.
The
only
plausible
explanation
for
all
this
is
that
the
chef
is
gone,
but
the
former
rave
reviews
stayed.
I
later
verified
this
with
the
waiter.
They
got
a
new
chef
and
a
new
menu.
It
was
just
awful.
I'm
really
disappointed
and
saddened.
If
this
restaurant
wants
to
stay
in
business,
and
if
it's
not
possible
to
bring
back
the
original
chef,
please
at
least
choose
a
real
Vietnamese
as
the
chef.
I'm
sorry,
but
I
had
to
write
this
review
to
help
other
diners
make
their
choice.
Utrecht
and
Amsterdam
have
a
lot
of
very
good
Vietnamese
noodles,
and
I
do
hope
that
hilversum
will
have
one
back
in
the
future.
