So True

Top choice in Phu Quoc Island


Located in the heart of Ong Lang, this restaurant does an excellent turn at mod-Viet cuisine, with signature specialities such as bo so tru (beef with green-pepper sauce), squid with lemongrass and kumquat, and cobia fish with dill and turmeric. Phu Quoc draught beer is on tap and there are some interesting photographs from all over Vietnam adorning the walls.
