  We visited The Den several times for dinner and tried a variety of dishes. The food was truly delicious, and you could clearly see that everything was freshly prepared. Because of that, the waiting time was a bit longer, but it didn’t bother us at all — the quality was worth it. The portions were generous, the flavors were excellent, and every dish we ordered was genuinely outstanding. We especially enjoyed the burger and the garlic butter chicken. The service was also very good and incredibly friendly, which made the experience even better. Overall, a great place for a freshly cooked and flavorful dinner. We highly recommend trying it.

  A very cozy and charming place with a truly welcoming atmosphere. The two owners immediately make you feel at home. The service is warm and friendly, even if you sometimes have to wait a bit, as everything is handled by just four hands. It’s absolutely worth the wait though — the food tastes excellent. I would come back anytime.

  Doing an evaluation and review of a place, it is important to consider where you are, and what to expect. Here the service is fantastic and the passion to make a great burger is in place. Is it my best burger ever? No, but surely one of my biggest pleasures. Great taste, pure and fine - ❤️🍔❤️

  So far one of the best what we have eaten in Vietnam. Really tasty foods and good drinks. Make sure you plan a longer waiting time here but it's worth it. We will definitely come back again.

  Hidden gem! A lovely restaurant run by women. The service is warm and friendly. As the dishes are freshly prepared, you may have to wait a little, but it’s absolutely worth it. Every dish we tried was excellent! We came back one time and would have returned even more often if we had stayed longer. (We had different traditional dishes: curry, glass noodles, fried rice, eggplant with fish sauce etc.)

  The best restaurant I had the honor to visit in all Vietnam. We came multiple times and every dish was out of this world. The cook can really do everything from western food to mexican food and of course traditional vietnamese cooking. All extremely flavorful and unique. This is the place you must try if you are on Con Dao!

  First time I got the coconut curry. It wasn’t tasty and it was mostly potatoes. Good fish with marakuja sauce, veg noodles. Decent spring rolls. Great coconut coffee. Juice tasted like onions (same cutting board probably) The wait time is long, but there’s one lady cooking and I guess we had nowhere to be anyways, so it was okay. Overall good experience, works when you’re done with local food. Tourist prices.

  Overall slightly mixed feelings. Had heard a great deal about this place. Firstly, the place looks nice, theres a cozy feeling for sure. The food was delicious. Then. The serving took ages even though there were just a handful of customers. The lady takes orders, theres a 10 year old kid who serves it and a granny in the kitchen. When we arrived I could see that the other customers were eager to wait for their order, the staff were always somewhere. From this I knew it would take a long time so it did not come as a surprise. Other customers couldnt get their drinks ordered so two had to go to the desc to make the order. Our two plates came 20 min apart, luckily we had decided to share. The dishes were inredibly small. The boy did not bring any napkins nor knife etc to eat the Burger with (pure hands here no). I get it, hes just a kid but still, the owner could have done it but she was always "nowhere to be found"- heard from our neighbour customer. So iIwent for napkins, knife and the bill. Havent stood up that many times in a restaurant in ages. Food tasted good, but with that price there should have been more of it but still, unfortunately/luckily, there is alot of other good places so this was our first and last visit.
