If you're looking for an authentic Vietnamese restaurant that offers good value meals that's healthy and quickly served, you'd be hard pressed to go past Tu Do Vietnamese restaurant.

Everything here is done well. From the classic rice paper spring rolls to the rare beef pho, the freshness, flavours fragrance and textures are amazing; and makes you reminisce about the visit to Vietnam if you've been or entice you to want to go. Meals are of good size that satisfies without being heavy or leaving you feeling wanting more.

Service from the family run restaurant is friendly, fast and welcoming. Tables are of various sizes to cater for different size groups.

Definitely...
