One of the best place in Ninh Binh: very good food and authentic taste for a very decent price.
It is packed so book in advance if you want to dine in or take out.
We came here twice on the weekend. The goat is very good here and all other dish are very good as well.

I’ll be completely honest, food was amazing and prices are good, but I simply am not compatible with the type of customers this place attract (drunk company meals with no sense of acknowledgement for people around them). Service was par also, given how hard it is to get a hold of a staff member. Takeout is highly recommended.

We ate here twice on the same trip to Ninh Binh. The restaurant has an very extensive menu. Price is reasonable. Service is fast. Make sure to check the bill carefully. The food was delicious and decently clean. We didn’t have any stomach flu. What we had was
- sprout salad/ Nộm rau mầm: good
- Eel stew with young bananas and tofu/ Lươn om chuối đậu: excellent
- bacon stirred with shrimp paste/ thịt rang mắm tép: ok. Too much fat
- blanched carrots and white raddish dipped in fish paste / củ cải luộc chấm mắm cáy: good. But ask for salt sesame to dip because the fish paste has very strong smell.
- blanched green leafy vegetables/ rau luộc chấm muối vừng: delicious
- fish hot pot/ lẩu cán lăng: delicious
- morning glory stirred fried with garlic: delicious
- deep fried frog/ ếch tẩm bột chiên: delicious
- boiled calamari/ mực trứng hấp: good
- grilled shrimps/ tôm đồng nướng: not good. The shrimps were tiny and had lots of hair.
Awful. High prices for mediocre food. I was served a beef salad. It was not good at all. The vegetables were not fresh and the beef was probably stale. They don't serve cold drinks either. Totally unprofessional. The waiter was sitting in his chair playing on his phone right in front of us while we ate.

Had a great experience here yesterday. Read a few reviewed where foreigners expressed being upset about lack of English or being turned away...must just be the way they present themselves, we had a good meal and were treated nicely.
The decor alone is a reason to visit this place.
Very good food. No one spoke much English but the menu had English translations and pictures. The food came out very quickly and was very very good. Whole meal with under 500k for 4 dishes and we couldn't finish all the food.

If you are a fan of Louis Cha (Kim Dung), you will love this restaurant. It is built on the ideas of Kungfu novel. Some names are not totally correct, but is is interesting. Food taste is quite okay.
If you want to experience a truly genuine vietnamese dinner, go to this restaurant and observe! Atmosphere is amazing and food very local!! Haven’t seen any tourists here!!
My family of 4 stopped by for a meal recommended by the hotel staff. It was about 4 pm on a Tuesday there were no other customers inside. We went up to the restaurant staff, a male talking to a woman at a table, we asked if they were serving, and they said yes, so we waited at a table. About 15 mins later, they still didn't come over to us with a menu. We came up and asked again if they were serving they said to wait until he is done talking and doing business. He could have said they were not serving customers at that time, then we wouldn't waste our time sitting around waiting to be served. Didn't even come over with a menu. They did not seem to care or want our business, so we left. Not friendly at all.
