Came here for lunch, and as i'm not a regular here i tried their best pho soup in takapuna as sign outside reads.
How one judge vietnamese dishes is via the flagship national dish. Noodles were of the thin gauge of 1mm not my favorite 3mm width and was quite small than average serving, like half a bowl. Guess i'm use to the generous servings from their Otahuhu rivals such as Sam Woo.
But the entree i had, the sweet|sour deep fry tofu was a generous serving for 6 bucks, see pic.
Keen to return to try the other dishes next in area.
Food was very well done :). Although my rare beef noodle soup seemed to lack actual beef, the flavour was very good. Waitress was very happy and smiled all the time :) great customer service .
Probably the best dumplings around. If you haven't tried these fresh hand made daily dumplings you're missing out. Friendly service, good price.
Ambiance: Modern Decor with a clean streak of luxury and homeliness all in one. Warm, inviting, spacious. Comfortable.
Service: Slightly below average with speed but above average with friendliness. Meals were served in a timely fashion, drinks were chilled and cutlery provided.
Food: I tried the Hot and Sour soup as well as the Beef Pho. The soup was served hot and quickly. The flavours are rich and the serving is perfect as an appetizer as it gets the appetite ready for the main meal. Great development of broth flavour, not overwhelming to the palette. Lovely. Only negative is utilising canned pineapple, fresh pineapple may round this out perfectly.
The Pho was served hot with accompanying lemon wedge and alfalfa sprouts. The broth was nice but could've used a lot more sourness from lime. The beef was tender but slightly confusing as I had pieces of brisket and other round pieces of what I believe was some form of processed beef, as it had a slightly spongy texture to it.
Love this place! They have a great lunchtime menu for $12 which is amazing value for the amount of food you get! The Singapore noodles in particular are fantastic, a nice spice without being too spicy. Been a few times to eat in and takeaway, and never disappointed with the food. Not open on a Tuesday though for a heads up.
Place is clean, service of ordering and food to the table was quick. Had won ton for starters but have to say it was oiler than normal fried won tons. Crispy and hot but oily.
Rare beef noodle soup (pho) was delicious, amount for two people or lunch the next day. Noodles were soft and soup was tasty, perfect. Bbq fried rice was yummy and not oily at all and very meaty with lots of peas and corn. Overall yummy place for a quick meal.
Absolutely amazing, favourite place to go. Such good food, everything I've tried so far has been great and I love coming here. The staff are also super friendly and it's very cheap.
Very good experience! We tried their double cooked pork and we liked it! Also their summer rolls. The serving is big and is affordable! I would love to come back here and try their other food. Very big place and clean. Well maintained and accommodating staff!
Nice little place for a quick bite to eat in the middle of Takapuna. Lots of to choose from on the Lunch menu and the place was full of people including Asians which I thought was a good sign. I ordered the Spicy Squid and it came out quickly and piping hot and nice big pieces. The squid was nice and tender with a nice crunchy/crisp batter not to thick. The only issue I would say it could do with a bit of a fresh spicy dressing as the fried batter does get a bit much after a while but other than that it was great. Nice atmosphere and staff and would go back again to see what the other dishes are like.
A great cheap and cheerful in Takapuna. A mix of Vietnamese and Chinese dishes. Food always good and fresh, service great. Very popular and can be busy.
The Pho is great, good flavours, lots of herbs. One of my regular dishes is the Char Sui (bbq pork) on rice. Pork is very tasty and a good helping of it. Am still working my way through the extensive menu, daily specials always good.
Love that they have chilis on the table for condiments.
One of my regular lunch spots. An easy 4 on value for money, possibly a 4.5.....
This place serves a wide variety of delicious and very reasonably priced meals. The vermicelli meals are a favourite of mine, and the staff are wonderfully friendly.
Awesome food, great quantity! Make sure you try their vegetarian Laksa.
Great portions for the price. Nice staff.
Great authentic flavour at affordable prices
