Our family doesn’t eat beef and the restaurant was really understanding and accommodating, assuring us what had beef and didn’t. Recommendations for all food was great!! We loved the Bahn Xeo that they did a vegetarian version for us and the Chicken Pho. We brought our dog along and sat outdoors and had an overall enjoyable experience at our family dinner.

Very authentic Vietnamese food. Despite services are less attentive as I have to called many times for my water . They don’t even clear the table even when they serve the food where no space available. The fried rolls was good for sharing, the bbq prawn papaya salad was awesome .. the sauce is tangy and flavorful! The traditional pho was great, the garlic fried soft shell crab for sure to pair well with beer. However, the beer is way too expensive for a 333 Saigon beer at $13 a can. I gave it a miss.. the dry beef pho was fantastic and the sauce was perfect blend and refreshing. Love the Bahn-mi with bbq chicken where the bread is freshly bake. The stew chicken with lots of herbs served with freshly bake baguette. Nice decor but the street food in Vietnamese is rather expensive served in this restaurant. Food is great and enjoyable!

Arrived 6pm and we were seated quickly by a courteous waiter. The beef pho was sumptuous and we decided to splurge on the caramelised coffee donuts w/ ice-cream.
Overall, it was an authentic Vietnamese experience and recommend to try if you are nearby Dempsey.

The food took very long to be served - approximately 30 mins wait. And they forgot the other items and we had to re order or remind them.
Person at the cashier counter was not apologetic for the wait and show us attitude.
The dish we had noodles and banh xeo- you can have it somewhere else with better service and quality like Loung Phuong at Katong,

Came here with a family of five. Restaurant was a bit grimy, as were the toilets. Ambiance was that of a family restaurant.
Dishes were generally tasty, but portions were small for the price. A $35 cubed beef dish looked like it used less than 150g of beef. We came at 7.45 in the evening, but hey had run out of 5 dishes that we wanted.
The grilled okra was the only dish that was good value for money. The grilled chicken was $25 and was nothing to write home about.
Our main dishes arrived without the accompanying rice,band we had to wait for another 8 minutes for the rice, and even then only one portion out of the 3 we ordered came first. The rest came 5 minutes later.
Service was nonchalant, no offer of water. We had to ask for water refills and also for our plates to be cleared at the end of the meal. The waiter also got one order wrong.
My family was still hungry after our meal. Sadly, we'll never be back. It's definitely an expat trap.

Started badly I had a reservation but there was some difficulty In seating us even with the reservation. The staff here are clueless, one was so lazy he spilt a jug of water all over the floor behind my chair and just walked off, all the staff just walked over and some even slipped but no one thought to dry the water.
The food was not good, I had the beef pho, the beef was inedible super chewy and bad quality. My husbands meal was no better really lacking flavour and aromomatics. In our starter there was some kind of ceramic chip in my summer roll which I ended up spitting out, how it got there I have no idea
Save your money this is a more expensive viet restaurant and you don’t get anything more for the price. The quality is really cheap and food isn’t tasty enough to justify the extra cost over other viet places. I’m super hungry as I feel like I left most my food due to terrible quality. Don’t bother

We had dinner here on a Wednesday night. Ample seats available. We ordered Bun Cha, Bun Thit Nuong and Mien Cua (wok fried cellophane noodles with picked crab meat and a soft shell crab on top!). All the dishes were very well seasoned and very generous with the meats. The Bun Cha had more meat than noodles! The meatballs were bouncy and tasty. No porky smell at all. We also had cha gio (fried crab meat spring rolls) and Goi Du Du (papaya salad with grilled prawn). All were excellent! Definitely recommend.

Staff is really very attentive and patient and polite, I really enjoyed their service. They helped to answer all our queries and tried their best to accommodate, especially when we could not take very spicy food.
The food was served in generous portions and vietnam vegetables were included, very flavourful. However, I felt that it was not very authentic in it being Vietnamese , probably to cater more to a Singaporean taste.
I will still recommend a visit though and may come back for the great ambience and service and to try other food

Came back again and the standard of the food never disappoint. How they make a simple pho dish and make it tastes so extraordinary. The meal cannot be completed with the signature softshell crab. Thanks!!

The food at Red Sparrow was pretty good but more pricey. Using The ENTERTAINER app, I had a 1-for-1 offer for main course.
Being my 1st time there, i tried their beef pho (Pho Bo Tai) and I wasn't disappointed. The soup was tasty and not too diluted or too herbal. You don't get thirsty afterwards
There were ample beef slices and the pho wasn't overcooked. You could ask for extra lime if you like the soup with abit of kick.
I also tried their Mien Cua, which was glass vermicili with soft-shelled crab, crab meat and cabbage, spring onion.
This was the winner for me, as it was very original and filled with wok hei (or claypot hei). It was piping hot and extremely tasty.
I would advise you to share that, as the satiety and flavouring will make you too full to try any other stuff.
Very authentic Vietnamese food, so i shall return to sample other dishes.

Had lunch with family. Wonderful service by all the wait staff. A big shout out to Galvin and she. in particular. Food was great. The chargrilled snapper and fried soft shell crab were my personal favourites. I also enjoyed the pork ribs. Would come back again. The snails were only so so as were the beef cubes but the reason for my rating is really the exceptional service.

This is a must try vietnamese resto. Superb service and high quality authentic vietnamese food. I liked how they presented the dishes, very appetizing and really worth the price. Tried the Bo Nuong which was very tender and juicy and the Bahn Canh chua which was generous in serving. Jen is a very friendly and attentive staff. Thanks to her for recommending these dishes which we loved and enjoyed so much. We'll be back for sure and recommend this Gem in the heart of Dempsey to friends and relatives.

My partner and I had the pho and the Vietnamese pancake. They weren’t skimpy on the ingredients at all. The pho had seemingly an endless amount of meat and the soup, was light but savoury — allowing us to last to the end of the meal. Needless to say, it was pho-king good ☺️
The Vietnamese pancake THOUGHHH was the star. Their homemade fish sauce that was made to complement the pancake really blew us away. I don’t know what they put inside the sauce, but I would have it with any food and dishes in the world.
Ambiance was 10/10, food was 10/10, service was 10/10. Definitely would come again!

Visited on a Friday where the rest of the bars and restaurants were heaving in Dempsey but Red Sparrow was almost empty. Lots of reserve labels on tables but promises of bookings got pushed as the night went on. Decor is okay, virtually no music playing - just seemed to lack that bit that restaurants need to mKe you come back a second time. Service was okay in between staff arguing instead of waiting on patrons.
Partitions are good size, food presented well, sauces were maybe not as authentic as I would have hoped but anyone looking for Vietnamese food it’ll probably tick some boxes.
Would I come back? No. Why it just wasn’t memorable enough, the food did pop to meet the bill paid and in Singapore there is definitely better ......

Was so disappointed by the food. Ordered a prawn fresh roll, beef pho, bun Cha and pork roll, Vietnamese coffee and fresh coconut and paid $107. The highlight was probably the baby Fresh coconut. There was the prawn which was not cleaned out properly, sandwich bun was moist and soft (meant to be fresh). Overall a pricey experience and I would not be visiting again.
