ATMOSPHERE: Long Phung boasts a simple interior reminiscent of a typical roadside eatery in Saigon, with a cramped setting that often sees the restaurant packed to capacity during peak times. You can expect to queue up for a table during busy hours. The lively atmosphere is further enhanced by the nearby KTV lounges and bars along Joo Chiat Road, adding to the sights and sounds of the area.
