Aquaknox Vietnamese Kitchen
Madison Square, Greenhills

I have heard rave reviews about Aquaknox Restaurant in Makati. But as you now know, Makati is way too far for DH and I. When I saw its signage in Greenhills, I was delighted. And so one Saturday, we had our lunch date in Aquaknox!
We ate the following:
Pho Bo (Beef Pho) regular PhP90
Hanoi Style Rice Noodles Soup Beef Brisket and Raw Sliced Beef
Tom Rim Man (Shrimp Rice) PhP140
Caramelized Garlic Shrimp with Scallions
The shrimp was undersized hehe but I have no right to complain because I only paid PhP140 for it. The rice was not good though. I think even Jollibee has a better rice to offer hehe I was not able to eat my rice ; (
Goi Cuon (prawn rolls) PhP90
Fresh rolls with a piece of shrimp, pork, lettuce, herbs and noodles.
Noodles was aplenty. The pork and shrimp were sliced so thinly that I can hardly taste it. The peanut sauce was good though so I put a generous amount of sauce on my prawn rolls.
I also ordered Lychee Iced tea PhP80 which I find too sweet. I had to mix less than half a glass of water to suit it to my taste.
Overall, I think Aquaknox Vietnamese Kitchen is no different from Pho Hoa in terms of price and food quality.
