Uncle Ho's

Uncle Ho's opened in Spring 2007, bringing Vietnamese food to Quito through this real gem of a restaurant. The owner is part-Vietnamese and unlike most of the Asian food in Quito, the food is very authentic. The restaurant combines delicately flavored, mouth-watering food with friendly, though slow, service. For a real taste of Vietnam, slurp on the "Pho," which is a Hanoi-style beef noodle soup, or for that matter, try any of the menu items--from summer rolls to coconut curry chicken, all bring a delicious taste of Vietnam to your palate. Finish up with a round of stuffed fried bananas, flambéed at your table. Que rico!

Traveler Reviews of Uncle Ho's

Yummy

I love its food, specially the grapefruit salad!

Traveler from Spain on Nov 29, 2008

Bloody Marvelous!

Yah, no, brilliant place. Expatriates go there, so you can't argue with that, really, can you? If you do want to argue, then you can come to me, and I'll challenge you to a shouting competition.

Amazing

Octavio, the cook and part owner has trained in Paris and D.C., and it shows. He is a meticulous and thoughtful artisan who often shops locally for his many organic and sumptuous ingredients. What a treat.

Outstanding Food!

My husband and I have gone several times. We have always been more than satisfied with the quality and flavor of the food. It's simply delicious and a wonderful addition to the Quito restaurant scene!

It is a very quaint restaurant with an Asian feel. The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly!

Great Vietnamese Food!

I love the food and I've been to this restaurant many times! My favorites are Imperial Rolls, Beef Pho and Lemon Grass Beef. Can't miss their Limonada Imperial and the Maracuya Creme Brulee either!

Great Place!

The food was excellent, the service was great, and the price was very reasonable. Have been back since, and will return again and again!!

very bad

Very slow service (like 2 hours to wait).
Basic food.
No customers (empty), it is always a bad sign.

Great food

I really liked this place. The owner is very friendly and works to ensure that you get good service. The food is delicious. After a couple of years living in Quito it is great to be able to get some decent Vietnamese food.
