    KOTO helps disadvantaged young people in Vietnam by teaching them cookery and beverage skills and English.

    The food is delicious and safe and they serve both European and Vietnamese traditional dishes.
    There is also bar on the 2nd floor. The restaurant is near the Temple of Literature.

    The staff is all KOTO trainees with good skills and a friendly manner. I am sure you will feel pleased with them, and happy as you are indirectly helping street children brighten their lives.
