We had a fab evening here on a hot Friday night in Feb. The place was packed, inside and outside. It was a hive of activity, giving it a fun, lively and energetic atmosphere. But despite the crowds, it still hummed like a well oiled machine and everything ran smoothly for us from beginning to end.

Given it’s obvious popularity, it’s advisable to book ahead, which we did and were rewarded with a nice table outside. I did find my chair rickety and a bit of a danger hazard on the uneven pavement, as it tended to slide backwards every time I got up, but that was the only negative.

The service was friendly, polite and efficient and we didn't wait long either for our drinks or our meals, and that was no mean feat, given how busy it was.

Food was pretty impressive too. My wife and I shared the vegetarian spring rolls for our entree ($12). There were four to the serve, nicely presented to the table on a stylish grey plate and accompanied with a red dipping sauce. The perfect way to start the meal. We followed that up with two chicken dishes: the fried variety and lemongrass chilli chicken. My fried chicken was a generous dish with loads of fresh, succulent chicken in a crispy batter, served with salad and accompanied with a basket of fluffy boiled rice in plastic wrap. It was delicious and I finished it all. Our friends had rice paper rolls, salt and pepper tofu and a chicken dish. We all enjoyed our meals.

The bill came to a reasonable $114 for four drinks, two starters, four mains with rice.

Parking wasn’t too much of a problem down a nearby sidestreet, about five minutes easy walk away. Toilets are down a flight of stairs. They’re clean and well provisioned.

Ngon is a well run restaurant staffed by hard-working professionals, and it’s...

Walking into Ngon is the same every time. We are greeted with friendly faces and an inviting atmosphere. But what exceeds our expectations is the kind and genuine nature of the owners and how they welcome us in like old friends.

The food is not only delicious but every mouthful leaves you with the comfort that it has been created from authentic family recipes and prepared with love and soul.

I am not one to ever pass up a good noodle soup. The pho here at Ngon is hands down my favourite in Brisbane. The broth provides a depth of flavour that is so clean, unique and satisfying. The fresh, quality ingredients shine through every hot spoonful of broth, paired perfectly with soft silky noodles.

But my all time favourite noodle soups from Ngon are the Spicy beef noodle soup (BBH) and Crab noodle soup. These are not featured on their menu but come up as weekly specials from time to time. If your stars align, you just might be lucky enough to try them. The flavours are perfectly harmonious and in those minutes of eating, all your troubles slip away.

There are a variety of other delicious options to suit many preferences so you can all enjoy a night out without a fight. To me, Ngon is amazing Vietnamese food that is traditional with a modern touch. They are great value for money, provide fast, attentive service and you leave feeling the happiest you've felt all week. What more could...
