My friend and I really loved dining here! I ordered the beef pho ($16.50). It was really delicious. The soup was clear with clean, well-balanced flavours. It was a moreish dish but felt light to eat. … More

Absolutely delicious Vietnamese spot, it has become a staple in my places to eat in Sydney.
2 minute walk from the station and next door to a variety of other great restaurants and services.
Lots of seating as they also own the dining area next door, a variety of dishes, fresh produce and reasonable prices. Love this place! It does get a bit busier during popular times but it’s never been a problem for us :)

A bustling neighbourhood place, the menu is extensive so making a choice is hard. I had the Cha Ca fish because I it came up on an article about this dish. The fish was juicy and the flavours were pretty close to what I had in Vietnam. My friend ordered the Bun Cha and loved it. Pretty happy all round More

I wanted to love this place but the room was so deafeningly loud to sit in that I just couldn't tell if anything of the mounds of greenery I was eating was any good at all. All of us spent most of the meal in a state of just can't wait to … More

The food wasn’t worth for the price. As a Vietnamese person, I found the food at the restaurant terrible. I also work as a waitress at the restaurant, and I find the customer service here terrible. The girl at the cashier counter spoke in a very unpleasant way for no reason at all. For the money I paid, I expected much more than this. More

I was introduced here by a local. I got to try the signature dish, Bun Cha, which can be said to be the best Bun Cha I can find in Sydney. I recommend you come try it, even though the atmosphere is quite busy and noisy, because the food is delicious, it's worth it.

The most authentic Northen Vietnamese street foods I've tried in Sydney. Bun cha is amazing. I have come back countless times and still craving the juicy grilled pork there. You can smell it from the end of Illawarra road. More
