Cockroach swimming in our soup. Never coming back here again. Staff wasn’t even apologetic until before we left.

The restaurant has a homey ambiance. Very quiet and intimate. Shaking beef, lemongrass tenderloin were good meat choices. Although downside is that food portions were small and priced highly. Their regular sized Pho is smaller than regular sized Phos elsewhere. Service is poor since you have to call the staff multiple times.

One of the may eats along White plains.I really like the ambiance in this place especially during a weekday because it was so chill and it has a good view overlooking the side of Eastwood. It was a great place to have a meaningful date or converse with friends. The only thing I didn't like was the amount of mosquitoes in the place which was kind of a bummer.Food wise, it was pretty okay, you really get your money's worth. In terms of service, they were pretty solid as well and fast although our server kinda had a hard time explaining some of the dishes when we were asking her.If you are looking a quiet place to have dinner or lunch in QC, this is your place.

this place does not have authentic vietnamese food, for a vietnamese food lover like me, this is definitely a let down. even their banh mi is terrible . and the pho is something most vietnamese would probably frown upon

I’m not sure if we just have exceedingly high standards when it comes to Vietnamese cuisine or they just served lackluster food. Everything in this place was just “okay”. It had a warm and homey ambiance but nothing Vietnamese about it at all. The beef pho we ordered lacked in flavor that we had to put an excessive amount of sili just to make up for the taste. It’s doesn’t resemble the clean and rich taste of an authentic Vietnamese Pho. Anyway, it wasn’t THAT bad; we just expected more. Their iced coffee also lacked of that famous strong kick. Too sweet. For a second, I thought I was sipping condense milk instead of coffee. And the greatest disappointment of all, their vietnamese pancake (BahnXeo)!!! We were looking forward to eating this since it’s one of our favorite Vietnamese dish. It definitely was not the BahnXeo we knew and were expecting. It was just beaten egg thinly cooked on wok then they added almost non existent meat in the middle. They literally just filled it with beansprouts!!! We barely tasted any meat!!! Bitterly unsatisfied about our whole dining experience here!

Food wise there is nothing I can say, it was very tasty super delicious. The serving were for sharing. The price is reasonable enough since it is already for sharing. Giving 4 stars because one time i went there, it was so hot! Seems like they will not open the aircon if there are no customer. Too bad it would have added to the great ambience of the place.

Ordered Bawai's salad, spring rolls, seafood/pork pho and traditional beef pho. All the dishes were excellent but we loved Bawai's salad the most. Definitely a must try place for the food plus the resto (White Plains) had a very relaxing vibe. We'll be back soon.

Disclaimer: i love pho and vietnamese cousine in general and so im a little bias.This place is just so great. We got here right away when they opened. Before you enter the door, you are greeted by their lush garden, you can def sit outside or opt to dine inside. The location overlooks the buildings in Eastwood, reminds you enough of your distance from the busy streets of Libis. This is great for some intimate events. Staffs were great, too. Ambiance was serene.Steamed roll was superb. I would recommend this everytime. 👍👍 Bite into this goodness, and let the flavors sing into your palate.Ginger chicken was good too. It resembles chicken tinola with a stronger flavor of ginger. Good soup. Chicken was tender although i would appreciate it more if there was more flavor in the meat.Bum bo hue was comforting. The soup was light yet delectable. A bomb of flavor! A little bit more of lemon plus extra herbs then I'd go ecstatic. I still look for the characteristics of the traditional pho.One note, pho is supposed to be served steaming hot, am i right?Basil ice cream (75php / 2 scoops). This is the type of ice cream people should serve! Aromatic, Oh-so creamy consistency, melts in the mouth so slowly! Base of this is vanilla ice cream.Rosemary ice cream (75php / 2 scoops). Same consistency, rosemary was crushed into bits. Base is cheese ice cream.

Bawais has been a go to place for me and my wife for Vietnamese food. Their Fried spring rolls and salads are really good in addition to their Pho.
