Why Travelers Love Era Restaurant
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
The place was nice and the waitress good but the food I ordered wasn’t terrific. I had fried squid which in itself was ok, it was just covered with a sweet glaze that wasn’t to my taste. The dipping sauce helped a bit. The beef in betel leaf was good but I’ve had much better. To be fair I think this place may be more famous as a BBQ restaurant! Service was prompt and efficient. Nice decor, with air con and spacious. Food was not bad. Saw so many locals enjoying the Vietnamese bbq there. We had an outstanding experience at this Vietnamese restaurant, where every dish showcased skillfully balanced flavors and expertly fried textures. The standout was the fried squid — light, crisp, and tender — served with a savory-sweet sauce that hit all the right notes. This meal was a true surprise!

This was a beautiful and intricate restaurant. We went during lunch time and there were locals sitting next to us which is how we knew the place is good. We got the catfish, fried shrimp, beef pho, fried spring rolls. The catfish, I would recommend having it here if you haven’t had fish in Vietnam yet. It was absolutely stunning with the dill and lemongrass underneath. The fried shrimp was similar to tempura but with a thicker and crispier batter. The sauce that came with it was the perfect combination with the salty and crispy shrimp. The beef pho tasted exactly how you’d picture pho just by smelling it. A perfect classic dish to match the restaurant. The fried spring rolls were beautifully made. I’ve had a lot of springs rolls during my trip but this restaurant would be in my top three for fried spring rolls. Overall, you will not be disappointed if you come here.
