Noi Noi Vietnamese Kitchen in Kingston — Restaurant in District of Canberra Central

I went here today with my partner and it was honestly a terrible experience. Firstly we walk in, and the lady behind the counter looks up with the angriest look on her face, like being her customer made her angry. She then bluntly asked “what do you want” no hi how are you or any basic customer service. Mid serving is a delivery driver came in and she cut us off to ask (yell at) him what is he waiting for, she then asked if my partner wanted roast pork when he literally said he wanted char sui twice- her service was rude and just disappointing.

We waited a super long time for our food despite being the only customer in the shop at the time (the delivery driver had already left) and to top this off- someone she clearly knew came in probably 8 minutes after we ordered - we knew this as they were talking the whole time.

Looking at other reviews it seems this is now the common practice. Your best bet is to try Little Phat rolls in Braddon or even any Roll’d will do a far...

A restaurant is only as good as the last dish it serves up, which explains why some people like Noi Noi and some don’t. They can’t keep operating, based on only one or two dishes being tasty and popular. They must get their act together and identify their weak spots, or they’ll struggle to make a buck. If they can’t even get their Bahn Mi right, what hope ? The Vietnamese are a beautiful people, but they’re so pharquing stingy with their dough (both kinds)! Nobody can remain in business, having a stingy mindset. The customers suffer, and vote...
