I was so excited to have a proper Bahn Mi and Pho restaurant at my local shops - about time! All bahn mis have become a lot more expensive recently, but today when I ordered the crispy roast pork by itself for $16, I didn't expect to be robbed.

Kids also love the large bag of fresh prawn crackers for...
Read moreThe presentation is good and the staff are nice. But I just find the food rather flat. I've had food from here twice and been underwhelmed each time.
To be fair they do have a fairly big menu, and I've only tried the salt and pepper chicken and noodle soup - maybe some their other stuff is good. But I would definitely advise against the salt and pepper chicken, which was not very nice at all. It was dry and doughy.
I might be tempted to try some of the ready to serve hot stuff on the counter another time - as it did at...
