Visited last Thursday for dinner. The food was excellent and so were the cocktails. I would highly recommend everything I tried which was the shaking beef, vege pad see ew, twice cooked pork belly, crispy squid and kaffir lime chicken, as well as the kaffir fever cocktail. All absolutely delicious. The only thing that could have been improved a little was the service, the staff weren’t friendly but they were still attentive.
Delicious food, enjoyed the fresh spring rolls, twice cooked pork belly (this is a must!!) and beef pho bowl. Authentic and delightful flavours. Better to sit out the back as a much nicer atmosphere.
Really delicious food! Great Vietnamese flavours with a fusion twist. Best to order plates to share! Pork belly is just as good as Mekong Baby and service was great too. Will definitely come here again.
The kaffir lime chicken was the most delicious dish- flavours very fresh and chicken extremely tender. Serving size was good. Coconut prawns were large and cooked to perfection. Service very attentive

Came here due to friend’s recommendation. Food was delicious. Not your typical Vietnamese food. The coconut shrimp was pretty good, you got four pieces of shrimps. The pho’s broth was average, but the sour sauce made it better. The fish was pretty good. Portion was a little bit smaller than I expected.
The food and drinks great and service superb. Best picks spiced tofu, duck salad, calamari, twice cooked pork belly (will order this first, next time). Waitress commented we were having quite a feast, we certainly did and we’d do it again here
Loved the atmosphere and food here. Got the pork belly, goat shoulder curry and five spice chicken. In the order from best tasting to least. Pork belly here was amazingggg and better than Mekong baby which is competition enough. Crispy on the outside and tender meat inside. Goat meat was succulent accommodated with delicious creamy curry (no photo attached as we were too hungry). Five spice chicken was cooked well also with crunchy bukchoy - portion is quite generous yet very delicious. Coconut sago dessert was okay, would go for the panna cotta next time. Will 100% return.
Amazing food! Cannot rate it enough!
Wasn’t expecting much when we got here but I left a happy lady!
Service was prompt, staff were knowledgeable of the menu.
Wandering around Ponsonby looking for a dessert place. We ended up coming here to try theirs. We tried the caramelised mango sago as well as the coconut panna cotta. I personally thought that the coconut flavour in both dishes were a bit lacking. We were also assuming that the caramelised mangoes were part of the sprinkles on top of the sago.
Saying that both dishes were tasty, albiet not the flavours I was expecting. The textural contrast of the sago was nice. The panna cotta was smooth and tasty. Desserts were nice and while looking through the menu there were a few dishes which sounded tasty.
Fantastic food! There were so many glorious, fresh, vibrant flavours done to perfection. There were also many interesting options as well as a good vegan/vegetarian selection, this is a good restaurant choice for a group with different eating habits that won't break the bank. The atmosphere and vibe was well suited, interesting and very relaxing. Friendly and efficient staff. Have already gone twice, something that usually only occurs when I give a five star rating, can't wait to come back.
The food was tasty, especially the crispy duck. A good selection of food on the menu. The service felt a little cold but served its purpose.
Just amazing the food is to die for . Now we go every Saturday. Eat leave and then think about the next Saturday coming. The ribs pork salad chicken and raw kingfish omg now I'm hungry
Was walking around Ponsonby looking for something to eat. Saw this place and decided to give it a try. Was going through the review and saw that the masaamun beef cheek curry and the duck fried rice was good so ordered that. The dishes here aren't cheap, with 2 dishes and a rice for $4 costing over $70 for lunch. However though, the massamun beef cheek curry melts in the mouth and very good taste with rice. The fried rice was full of flavour too and cooked perfectly paired with a fried egg on top. So the quality is good here, but probably for an occasional treat and not a every weekend thing.
The beef cheek massaman curry, the duck fried rice, the duck salad, and the Hanoi noodle were all excellent. The customer service was decent. Nice, cosy ambience . Would be back again
Everything is great. Beautiful presentation, delicious food and suitable space for family and friends
Today’s so beautiful day, I and my friends come here and enjoy Vietnamese’s traditional food. The food is great with a strong hometown flavor. Thank you for the restaurant's food!
Nice nice nice 👍
Was invited to this lovely place by a friend for a catch up dinner, we had very good time there.
Beautiful tasty food with decent portion and thanks to our lovely waitress so that we chose the perfect wine for our dishes. Didn't get her name but she was from Italy. Thank you for your service and patience.
Will definitely go back for another occasion.
Beautiful and exquisite small restaurant, when there are many customers, the service staff will appear a little less, but you can still feel their enthusiasm and good vibration frequency. The food is delicious and the desserts are special. I will come again.
Food was really tasty.. staff was good, atmosphere was quite authentic vietnamese way but the toilets were dirty and full of mosquitoes and heaps of flying insects .. really bad . I bought it to the attention of the management who sprayed something but that did not fix the issue. They apologised and said they are having an ongoing issue and don't know how to fix it..
Great tasting food and good portions! However, it was too busy and the waiters didn't have time to take our dessert order. We waited 20 minutes after we finished our main meal, but despite trying to grab their attention, they were too busy to hear or see us. So we just left without getting to try their dessert menu.
