Nook Cafe & Bar

“An authentic Japanese restaurant with tasteful furnishings including lanterns and calligraphy, and a winning menu with sushi, tempura and yakitori dishes. The air-conditioned interior is a calming haven away from Hue's increasingly busy streets.”

“Mandarin Café is a legendary establishment in Hue, where travellers can relax and enjoy cheap Vietnamese and western fare as well as refreshing fruit shakes and local coffee. Founded in 1990 by Mr. Cu, a local photographer, this restaurant is fitted with numerous portraits of the local lifestyle and iconic attractions, all of which are for sale. Food-wise, we highly recommend its signature fried noodle (with beef, pork, shrimp or vegetables) banh khoai with seafood (Vietnamese crepe), and banana pancake. ”

“This is one of favorite cafes and restaurants along Pham Ngu Lao. Friendly service and Asian-chic decor combine with the best street-side tables in town, and food is a versatile mix of Western and Vietnamese favorites.”
