More information on Hy-Vong

A must in Little Havana, expect to wait hours for a table, and don't even think of mumbling a complaint. Vietnamese cuisine combines the best of Asian and French cooking with spectacular results. Food at Hy-Vong is elegantly simple and superspicy. Appetizers include small, tightly packed Vietnamese spring rolls and kimchi, a spicy, fermented cabbage (which they ran out of on my last visit here because I got there too late -- get there early!). Star entrees include pastry-enclosed chicken with watercress cream-cheese sauce and fish in tangy mango sauce. Unfortunately, service here is not at all friendly or stellar -- in fact it borders on abysmal, but once you finally do get your food, all will be forgotten.Enjoy the wait with a traditional Vietnamese beer and lots of company. Outside this tiny storefront restaurant, you'll meet interesting students, musicians, and foodies who come for the large, delicious portions. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.
