Captain Phook

If I could rate this place higher than 5 stars, I would. This place is phenomenal and I almost wish I haven’t been yet so I can experience it again for the first time. Because this place is a bit pricier, my boyfriend and I have been saving it for a special occasion rather than having it in our regular date night rotation. We just celebrated our anniversary and messaged them on FB to make a reservation (note: you have to make a reservation to eat here since seating is very limited). They responded pretty quickly which is always a plus. The food so unbelievably well done and tastefully prepared/plated. We actually just came back from a five star resort that charged basically double the prices of Captain Phook and the food/portions were horrendous. Makes us really appreciate how flavorful Captain Phook’s food is. You are 100% getting your money’s worth here. We ordered the garlic prawns nibbles, beef tenderloin with chipotle sauce main, grilled broccolini & fries sides, the torrija caramelizada with cinnamon ice cream, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. We also got two plates of bread with our dishes. I knew coming in I’d order that caramel dessert from the reviews I’ve read and holy smokes… that dessert was everything and more. We really enjoyed how cozy and intimate this place was. We’ll definitely be back.

Unsure about how good is the food here, but def come for the Torrija caramelizada with cinnamon ice cream! It's a caramelized toast with some sweet cream sauce and ice cream on top. It's sweet but doesn't feel too much at all. A friend recommended it and we ordered one first, and it was so good we ordered another right after. I actually don't like the other dessert as much; the chocolate is quite bitter.

I came here with a friend and we ordered 4 dishes in total. Overall the food was good but not amazing. Polenta was not as creamy and smooth as I wanted. Steak & Hashbrown with coffee sauce: Funny thing is the hashbrown from the steak dish is the polenta I was hoping for. It's not reminiscent of hashbrown but it was good. I don't really taste a lot of coffee in the sauce. Very good steak though. Lamb: Great cook on the lamb, great crust. No complaint Dessert: 10/10. I would come back just for this.

Highly recommend this small restaurant hidden in a small alley. Dishes were tasty but small sized portion. Steak was great and good size. Pesto pasta was not typical basil sauce but pistachio, which didn't taste that good. The waiter did not explain this and actually said "green pasta" when she was referring to the pesto pasta dish. Good atmosphere and popular with locals.

OMG! A gourmet restaurant disguised as a small diner. The lamb is perfect, the sides are perfect. What a gem in Binh Thanh! If you are into beer, they have only a few choices. But between Peroni and Duval who needs any more choices? (An old menu online shows Fish and Chips. It is no longer on the menu.)

What a cute little place! The restaurant is very small but it doesn’t mean it cannot dish out some tasty dishes. The price performance of the restaurant is high. The bolognese pasta and fish were both good. I think the plating could be improved, especially for the lamb but otherwise it was a good meal in a really hole in the wall kind of restaurant.

A chill street vibe but with fine dining style food. Went there multiple times - recommend the lamb chops. Nice little selection of draft beer too. Recommend seating at the the kitchen counter or outside r. If you're hungry you may want to order 2 dishes.

Hidden in the street, its a great place to enjoy food and watch chef PABLO preparing and managing every dishes. The restaurant is small only 10 seats in the first floor , but the food here will never let you disappointed. Will definitely come back and try to their lamb!
