Inappropriate?

I can vouch for the:
-fresh ravioli with spinach and ricota fillings

and

-fresh gnocchi with seasonal vege in tomato sauce

So tasty. It's worth checking out. I'll be back for sure.

about the venue: Matchbox

message the reviewer

Inappropriate?

I went to Matchbox yesterday for the pasta special.

I was overly impressed with everything.

*-I didn't get sick
**-homemade ravioli and gnochi(sp?) were excellent. Cooked to perfection. Best pasta I've had in Hanoi. My cafe sua exceeded my expectations.
***-The staff was friendly and the food preparation was reasonably quick.
****-very smart/modern looking place. Calming colors.
*****-I haven't decided about the other days, but their weekly specials are a great value.

I'll be back.

about the venue: Uzbekistan Restaurant

message the reviewer

Inappropriate?

I haven't been to another Uzbek restaurant, so I had a hard time comparing it.

The place is down the road on the same side of the street as the australian embassy.

We were the only ones there as I could see. That being said, service was great.

Between us we had the spare ribs, a kind of meat/vegi platter, dumplings, bread, and a dish like chicken kiev.

All of it was tasty. It's hard to criticize anything because I'm not to sure how things are supposed to be.

The soup (although little meat) was very flavorful and a nice change to pho. The thick bread made a nice combination.

I think it's worth checking out.

  Hello,

  Good to hear there is some interest. Turns out, I have not found a nice trail yet. Someone at the bookworm said they had some info, but I have yet to make it there.

  Tyke, I am totally up for doing something this weekend. If you want to meet up to talk about it my number is 01685159752.

  If anyone reading this is interested, text, call, or email me or Tyke.

  Ok, I'm excited. Talk to you then.
