Vietnamese Bistro — Restaurant in Greater Brisbane

If i was commenting on the food alone it would probably be a 4 star review, however the atmosphere was terrible with the owner throwing the menus down when 4 people walked out because they were sick of waiting for a menu and got a takeaway menu only to be told they cant order from the takeaway menu. Then I had to sit there and listen to him rant and rave about how they would have to close the doors in a month, and how he has had enough. I also did not like to see a bed behind the counter. The food is more expensive when you dine in, which if it was a nice restaurant you wouldn't mind paying. However it is dirty and cluttered with wooden reusable chopsticks and unfinished paint job. I was also charged $2,00 for paying by card, because i spent just under $20. I can buy a better bowl of vietnamese pho for $12,00 without the drama at another restaurant on the southside. Not going back. Never felt so uncomfortable ever...

Wow. I work in Redcliffe and have been eyeing off this restaurant to get a Banh Mi at lunch some time and today was the day. I went in and the place looks nice enough, the sort of restaurant I like, waited 5 min then the owner passes me my roll. I state I haven't paid for it yet and can I pay by card? He says yes $10, I say ain't they $8? The owner then goes on an aggressive rant about going broke and people paying by card. I say fine I'll go get money out and he's still ranting. I repeat $2 to use eftpos is excessive and then he comes out of the shop appearing like he wants to fight me??? I stood my ground and stated I would have been happy to pay 50c for eftpos, he tells me not to come back 😂 fair to say he didn't need to say that. Obviously a person under stress but to be aggressive to a customer for a valid question if unacceptable. If you like this restaurant go have dinner and help...

What a shame this place has delicious food and no atmosphere. Our first and only visit in June. I don't want to see the owner wearing boardies and thongs with very long dirty toenails eating at the table next to me, then sitting at my table to take my order only to go back to eating. After we hesitantly ordered our Pho, our Aussie waiter put a music video of an Eagles concert of which he continued to eat and whistle to the songs. This currently under some renovations bistro was disappointing to say the least. Boxes and building materials lent up against the wall where we sat. Food was delicious and authentic, and when we paid for our meal, the owner asked us if it was good enough to return. Unfortunately...
