Probably the best Vietnamese restaurant in Israel. Great variety of dishes, good service and reasonable prices. I really like thier bar. Make sure you book a table because the place is very popular. Few good options for vegan.

Excellent Vietnamese food! I came here with a large group and we all loved everything. I tried the beef banh and fish banh—both delicious steamed buns. Lots of flavor, fish was crunchy, beef was soft (both good things). It also didn’t feel overly expensive. Definitely a must-try!

Vong is a wonderful and special place with great service and awesome food! We had a Vietnamese Beach dish and it was above all our expectations! We love Asian food and consider ourselves quite the experts in this field, and we were most pleasantly surprised by rich yet delicate, complex yet refined taste of this dish. Then we had a perfectly brewed cup of coffee with mango mousse served with white chocolate and passionflower syrup on coconut meringue base and it was also delightful and very refreshing. We strongly recommend this place to everyone who loves and understands Asian cuisine!
UPDATE! We went there again and wasn't disappointed! The food was delicious (this time we had two hottest noodle dishes, and they were totally different but superb in taste), the desserts were made in Heaven, really, we don't remember tasting something as delicate, balanced and rich as these desserts. We were especially delighted by their professional, fast, considerate and extremely friendly service. Good service is rather hard to find here in Israel, but in Vong it was exceptionally grand! Now Vong is one of our favorite restaurants and we heartily recommend this place to everyone!
