Cannot agree more with admin on the basil and the lime. As I have tried some of the best pho in the world (those in Melbourne by real good vietnamese chef), the rice noodle ('He Fen') is just not right, too rough, the viet store at hua mao has one of the best rice noodle i have tried so far in beijing, infact, the decor, the service, the settings, everything else are ok, but the most critical thing, the ingredients and materials they use is just not the right one, thus, cheap and local materials cannot make traditional vietnamese food. Hopefully their Singaporean boss is aware of this and try to make some changes.

Also for the Charcoal grill Pork Chop rice...also my fav viet dish, the skill of grilling is good, the chef's skill is good, but the pork aint right, its taste just like any other pork in Beijing. The rice, its normal local rice, its not imported traiditional Vietnamese Broken Rice. A plate of Pork Chop rice (with 1 fried egg, some vege and 1 piece of pork chop) costs RMB 68 but single order of pork chop is RMB 38, thus, that I assumed that the Rice+Egg+Vege costs RMB 30, which is way too overpriced and wrongly priced.

Need improvement definitely
