For Helsinki, this was cheap (each main dish 13 EUR). Best Vietnamese summer rolls I have tasted. so good that in a short trip we have visited the restaurant twice. As of writing (Aug23) the restaurant sadly shuts at 7pm every day so if you're having dinner, get there by 6pm so it's enough time for them to cook and for you to eat. We're vegetarian and for us it was great.

This was the first time I tried their lunch specials and was very pleased: their menu is extensive and interesting, but the quality at lunchtime was much better.

The service was prompt when we made our reservation and during our meal. They even opened up early just for us. Initially, we were a bit unsure about the vegan options on the menu, but once we tried the dishes, we found them to be delicious, affordable, and satisfying.
