A mix of great and mediocre food.
We first got the Hanoi spring rolls as an entree. The spring rolls were actually quite good. They had a nice crispy exterior and were filled with great tasting meat and vegetables. The nuoc cham and fresh vegetables on the side complimented the spring rolls well. 5/5.
We also got the crispy skin chicken pho. To be honest, both were quite mediocre. The portion of the pho was a bit small. The broth also wasn’t the best, I found it a bit too sweet for my tasting and it was not really rich in beef flavour. Meanwhile, I found the crispy chicken to be a bit bland. 2.5-3/5.
We also got the bbq pork patties vermicelli. This dish was great. The pork was tender, while having a nice balance of savouriness and sweetness, and a hint of smokiness. The vermicelli was fine and the vegetables were fresh and crunchy. 5/5.
We also got the lemongrass pork chop version of the vermicelli. The pork was nicely marinated and slightly smoky, but the piece I had was a little dry. 4/5.
Service was acceptable and prices were fine accept for the pho.
Overall, decent, but some mixed...

There is a HUGE variety of food options so you’ll definitely find something you like- it might be difficult to narrow down what to eat though! We got the spring rolls (really nice, not like normal spring rolls- unique texture and good taste), the pho (great! Good ratios and the crispy chicken was done well), the vermicelli salad (again, I’d highly recommend this for a fresher option- chicken was great!!), and the fried rice (yum). All dishes were great and the portion sizes were big too!!
The place gets busy so I’d make a booking if you are in a group. I did make a booking and they had a few issues seating me anyway, but all good.
The atmosphere is good and the restaurant feels welcoming but also sophisticated and...
Read moreA Delicious New Addition to Eastwood!
I recently visited the newly opened Vietnamese restaurant in Eastwood, and I must say, it’s now my go-to spot for Viet food in the area! The food is incredibly tasty and authentic, with flavors that transport you straight to Vietnam. Every dish I've tried so far has been delicious, and the freshness of the ingredients really stands out.
The staff is very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It’s always nice to feel like you're genuinely cared for when dining out.
The only small downside was that the menu didn’t have Vietnamese, which would’ve been a nice touch for an authentic experience. But overall, this is definitely a place I’ll be coming back to for great...
