Hy-Vong Vietnamese Cuisine
¢-$$, Vietnamese, Little Havana
Fodor's Review:
Spring springs forth in spring rolls of ground pork, cellophane noodles, and black mushrooms wrapped in homemade rice paper. Folks'll mill about on the sidewalk for hours -- come before 7 PM to avoid a wait -- to sample the whole fish panfried with nuoc man, a garlic-lime fish sauce, not to mention the thinly sliced pork barbecued with sesame seeds, almonds, and peanuts. Beer-savvy proprietor Kathy Manning serves a half-dozen top brews (Grimbergen Double, Moretti, and Spaten, among them) to further inoculate the experience from the ordinary. Well, as ordinary as a Vietnamese restaurant on Calle Ocho can be.

A culinary delight

Fabulous food, exquisite service, a truly wonderful dining experience. Each dish is specially prepared for your palate.The guests are treated like family and it has become a home away from home. Please be patient as the wait for this small intimate restaurant can be enerviating as the tiny kitchen can only prepare your various courses in a methodical mannar. Love it!Hanoi meets Havana with a pinch of Franco Flair!

After a fairly recent trip to Southeast Asia, this gem surprised a ten year Miami Beach resident. Three of us shared three diverse yummy appetizers and sampled one another's scrumptious main courses. The food is authentic and magnificent (and I'm probably understating)! While the decor is functional the atmosphere component merits a full 5 since the waitstaff and proprietor were so attentive and warm; and because the kitchen's emphasis on virtuosity rather than quick mass mediocrity allowed three great friends of twenty years a few weekend hours to catch up after several weeks. It took a long time to discover Hy-Vong, but I can't wait to sink my teeth into more of the menu very soon. The Vietnamese beer was also fantastic.
