What people say, in short
Many people recommend MET, a Vietnamese restaurant with several outlets in the Old Quarter; most who name it do not say which one, so the location shown is one of them. One commenter calls the bun cha a must, another loved the chicken pho, and one goes most weekends. Opinions are split: a couple think its reviews are overhyped, one feels it is tourist-focused, and two commenters warn against it, one calling it kitsch and overpriced and the other flavourless.
