The Boat Riverside Restaurant & Bar
Description
A family-run riverside spot where the owner, Phuong, will genuinely go out of his way for you – including reopening the kitchen after hours if you show up hungry. That’s not a marketing line, that’s what actually happened to multiple people.
The food leans Vietnamese with solid execution across the board. Standouts from reviewers include the passionfruit chicken, fried spring rolls, and beef with mushrooms. The river setting keeps things calm without feeling like a tourist trap.
Highlights
Insider Tip
Ask Phuong about the passionfruit chicken - it's not always pushed on the menu but reviewers who ordered it called it a standout, and he'll tell you if it's fresh that day.

Cons
