7.5/10Good food, friendly but slow service, drinks and food came one by one with quite some time distance, so everyone ended up drinking and eating alone more or less. Half of the dishes on the menu were not available. BUT: the food that was available was good.

Crispy tofu cubes and crispy fish sauce wings were great starters with a dry Riesling wine. Duck main was good but could have been spicier for me. Lychee and almond Pannacotta dessert.

Think I've stumbled upon a hidden gem as it was one of the best Vietnamese foods I've had in a while... The dish with roasted pork belly and meat patty in garlic-y dipping sauce for the rice noodles was so well balanced with tartness, umami and hint of sweetness. The chicken wings in fish sauce caramel were one of the best wings I've had as well. So crispy and well-balanced. And glad I also tried the desserts. Vietnamese almond panna cotta to round off a lovely dinner. The service was also great - so chill and thoughtful! Lastly, the pictures don't do the food justice honestly!

There are some nice things about this restaurant. The service warm & friendly and the ambiance is quite nice. The food has potential but some of the dishes miss the mark. Here’s what I had: 1. Tofu spring rolls — not good The tofu inside was extremely hard, to the point of not bringing edible. The omit sauce which normally love, I’m sure was out if a can or jar & did not taste authentic at all. 2. Noodles with shrimp appetizer Very good flavor, I liked it 3. Fried tofu: quite bland, needs more pepper & comes with the same “pnut sauce”. Wouid be much better with a home made rich sauce 4. Lemon pork Excellent! I could have just had this. If you like pork, you’ll love this dish. 5. Sweet sticky rice: Probably the most disappointing. I love sticky rice but this went straight to the trash after one bite. Very strange texture, not cooked right & not good flavor. 🤢 5. Ginger lemongrass tea; Excellent

Hi Lisa, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly appreciate it. We understand that food is subjective, and what suits one person may not suit another, and we take all comments seriously as we continue to improve. We would like to clarify a few points. The peanut sauce is homemade by our team. Regarding the purple sticky rice, it is designed to be enjoyed together with yogurt and coconut flakes. As you ordered just the sticky rice on its own and taken away, this may have affected the overall experience and made it more difficult to enjoy as intended. That said, we appreciate your feedback and will certainly take it into account as we work to improve our dishes and how they are presented in the future. Kind regards, Yen dining bar team

8/10Food is nice, the order of the plates serving was sort of messy though and the size of the dishes a bit too small for the price.

3/10I don't know why this is popular; the food was okay, the service was quite terrible, and the atmosphere was meh. I had to wave my hands in the air three times just to get help and one main course was served 20 minutes before the other main courses.
