Very cool decor and vibe. Came for dinner twice and was very happy first time with the baked salmon then really disappointed the second time with the specials. Cold mash and overcooked chicken. Inattentive waiters hanging around seemingly with nothing to do. Unfriendly communication. Came for breakfast the next day and it was like I was in a different restaurant. Breakfast was amazing. The quality of eggs were exceptional and there were THREE eggs. Really good value for money. Had two perfect flat white coffees served by an amazing waiter who was so fun and friendly. I would not go back for dinner but breakfast is well worth a return trip. Hard to give a rating given the difference between dinner and breakfast was like night and day.

Reviews
Tourists come here for Vietnamese food with a modern twist. We ordered the signature roasted chicken spring roll but it tastes average. The peanut sauce doesn't go well with the spring rolls. But the banh mi, tofu salad and chicken wings are nice. Great place to chill out.
Propaganda Vietnamese Bistro is a modern take on Vietnamese home-style cooking, set in a colorful space inspired by vintage Vietnamese propaganda art. The concept and design are refreshing and give the restaurant plenty of character. I ordered the roasted chicken with broken rice. The chicken itself was decent, but nothing particularly memorable. Unfortunately, the sauce used to season it had a strong, unpleasant industrial taste that really detracted from the dish. The locally brewed Dream Alone Pale Ale from Heart of Darkness was excellent - fruity, refreshing and easily the highlight of the meal. At 130,000 VND for 330 ml, however, I found it significantly overpriced by Vietnamese standards. Service was good throughout, and I genuinely liked the design, atmosphere and concept. Still, the food did not convince me enough to return.
Found this place on Google, and it was a great spot to cool down after a hot walk on Book Street nearby! The food was great, but the service made it even better. The staff were so attentive and very service-oriented. They didn't ask for a review, but I'm leaving one because they truly deserve it. We ordered the slow-cooked beef, bánh mì, and fresh spring rolls, along with a coconut coffee recommended by our waiter.
Not sure if this is a touristy restaurant, the moment I arrived I could only see tourists. Anyway my friend a local also recommended this place with good Vietnamese cuisine so we decided to pay a visit. Very bright and bold decor which I liked it, walls filled with murals. Had a look at the menu, they have quite a variety so took some time to decide and also asked for recommendations. We wanted to order a few dishes to share and the staff advised us we ordered too much as the portions could be quite big. We took the advice and cut down on the items ordered. Food didn't take long to arrive, first the drinks then the mains. Quite interesting there was a shake with protein powder added, and a mint lemonade which was not too bad. The chicken rolls was their signature not what I thought off as the fresh spring rolls kind, but was pretty good tasted healthy with avocado inside. The BBQ pork noodles were good, tasty and flavourful. It resembles like Bun Cha to me but my friend said it was not. Also first time trying the broken rice. Unique experience and taste, grains were finer but then has a glutinous rice like texture. The chicken served with the rice had a good sauce on it, pretty good. It was really very filling and thank good we listened to the staff advice. We were too full from the meal and the prices were very reasonable too. Great meal and would recommend this place.
