This Vietnamese restaurant hails from the northern region whose cuisine gets its influence from South China, differing from the typically known South Vietnamese food. Authentic North Vietnamese dishes like the steamed pork meat rolls are enjoyable. Skip the Chinese-influenced dishes if you’re going for a real taste of Vietnam.

Think of North Vietnam
If you think of Vietnam food equals "Pho," think otherwise before going to Golden Bull. It is a Vietnamese restaurant emulating the northern region where the cuisine is influenced by South China, differing from what we think of as typical Vietnamese cuisine which is South Vietnamese--fresh herbs, soups and fresh spring rolls. We started with the assorted meat platter (YY150) which included spring rolls, shrimp balls on stick and pork kebabs served with a satay-hoisin dipping sauce. The shrimp balls had too much flour and spring rolls were lacking in fresh herbs. The roasted duck on prawn crackers (YY30) was enjoyable yet required some herbs to balance the flavors. The curry chicken in hot pot (YY42) and the too-sweet duck a l’orange (YY45) were tender but their sauces too thick, preventing us from fully appreciating the whole dish. To replace rice, we had French bread, but the excess of butter and garlic killed the flavor of the above dishes. Nevertheless, we were delighted with the steamed pork meat rolls with Vietnamese salami (YY24), green vegetables (YY32) sauteed with dry shrimp in fish sauce and the young coconut pudding (YY22) as they provided a more authentic North Vietnamese taste. --Kim-Tien Huynh
