Hanoi by MeVui: A Mixed Bag of Vietnamese Flavors in Sanur

Hanoi By Mevui, Sanur

Bagus

If you’re in Sanur, Bali, and craving some Vietnamese flavors, you might want to check out Hanoi by MeVui located at Jl. Pantai Cemara No. 33. This cozy little spot has been getting mixed reviews, but let’s dive into the culinary experience!

First off, the menu boasts some classic Vietnamese dishes like Banh Mi, Pho Saigon, and Cha Gio. Now, I’ve heard some chatter about the Banh Mi not living up to expectations. One group of expats mentioned that their rolls had very little filling and the meat was mostly gristle, making it pretty much inedible. They took one bite and decided it wasn’t worth the effort to finish. The manager was nice enough to apologize and offered to replace their meals, which they declined. At least they weren’t charged for the rolls, so that’s a plus!

On a brighter note, the Pho Saigon seems to be a hit! One reviewer raved about it, saying it’s a must-try if you enjoy sour and spicy noodle soup. Another guest mentioned having a delicious Pho with minced pork, and they praised the quick service and friendly staff. Sounds like a solid choice!

However, it seems like the service can be a bit hit or miss. One diner noted that the service was slower than at other MeVui locations, but they felt the food was worth the wait. So, if you’re super hungry, maybe grab a spring roll to tide you over while you wait for your main dish!

Speaking of spring rolls, they come highly recommended—both fresh and fried. If you’re a fan of these crispy delights, you definitely won’t want to skip them!

As for the atmosphere, it’s described as nice and inviting, making it a great spot for lunch or dinner. Just keep in mind that parking can be a bit tricky, but there’s free street parking available if you’re lucky.

Overall, Hanoi by MeVui seems to have its ups and downs, but if you’re in the mood for Vietnamese cuisine, it might just be worth a visit. Just be sure to order the Pho Saigon and maybe skip the Banh Mi if you’re feeling cautious!
