Really nice pho served here , Welcoming staff and great portion sizes and flavourful dishes to match the respectable prices. I will definitely be back here sometime. It is a little difficult to find free parking however there is plenty of street parking on neighbouring roads available but ensure to check signage for hours permitted to park.

Flavourful vegetarian food with fresh ingredients and moreish sauces! Menu is very versatile with cool dishes for summer and hot ones for winter. Big up to the staff for showing us how to eat a banh xeo the Vietnamese way.

Super clean dining area, beautiful decor... Friendly service... All the food items, down to the tea are really fresh and delicious, and the presentation was artistic. Summer rolls, pho, curry rice dishes - all fantastic. Will definitely come back again - exciting little gem. I cannot fault the entire experience.

The best Vietnamese food I ever had outside of Vietnam so far. I really had a great time there and Bun cha, deep fried spring rolls and prawn garlic was the best!!!! I can't never eat somewhere else again.

A really nice spot. I’ve been a handful of times now. The food is excellent quality (I recommend the sizzling beef rice meal), and the staff are always very welcoming, polite and attentive. It’s occasionally on the quiet side but that’s no bad thing. They have proper Vietnamese Hanoi and Saigon beers too. Would thoroughly recommend for a date night, meal out with friends or for solo dining!
