Review Viki Vietnamese Street Food - Auckland

Absolutely stunning 🤝🙏👏👏👏 well done. Though they only have 2 vegetarian dishes on there menu the vegetarian dish I had was absolutely gorgeous with well balance flavors in every bite. Please do increase your vegetarian range 🙏. For now I will enjoy every visit with my thanks

All pho dishes are delicious! Very authentic taste. Steam coffee are good! Staffs are friendly!

We came by for a group dinner. We did call and book about 10 minutes before when we were trying to find somewhere to eat. It is located within Glenfield Westfield, with doors from the Westfield lobby as well as from the carpark. We were seated in the lobby area instead of the restaurant itself. They have a decently sized menu but did have platters which had a bit of everything so it was a nice way to try most of the items. The platters were decently sized and it was a nice way to share a lot of food. I quite liked the pork belly. We did also get the pho and fried rice and both were nice. The salted egg tofu was also nice but I thought it could have used a bit more salted egg flavour. The food here is quite nice and they also had nice drinks including the Vietnamese egg coffee.

Kind service and great food. We had some fried spring roll and tofu, and fried chicken with vege. They are so nice. Fried tofu is my favorite. I want to have it everyday.

Very authentic Vietnamese food(not Asian fusion). Love eatch dishes we ordered today. Highly recommend beef pho ,and it is best beef pho in Auckland.If you are looking for a real Vietnamese taste , then you must try here. Jack fruit with coconut shake was soooo nice. I can't wait to go back again. Price is very reasonable!!!

We headed to lunch when decided to give this place a try. I am a huge fan of soups and tried many places many countries, but I loved this one. One if my new favourite The taste and freshness goes through your soul. Loved it The salad wasn’t the best though, could be more fresh. My 8 years old also loved her fried chicken and little soup on the side Thanks, we sure come bavk

We came here for dinner and quite enjoyed it. The food tasted a lot better than I expected. As a Vietnamese, I can say that the taste is pretty authentic. Would be keen to come back and try the other dishes as well. Edit: Went back and tried a few more dishes, they're all good! This will be my go-to place for Vietnamese food.

Had the grilled pork bun cha and the ginger chicken stew lunch meal. The bun cha was tasty, the grilled pork has a slight charness and the meat quality was pretty good, slightly fatty. The quantity feels quite little though, especially the noodles which I think could do a lot better. The chicken stew was really nice taste and came out sizzling hot in a Korean stone bowl. Quantity for this was ok.

Newly opened earlier this month we checked it out on opening night. We got the spring rolls a lovely stew and a noodle dish all were very delicious and good value for money love the layout and the decor and there's heaps of parking will definitely come again.

We were absolutely amazed by this beautiful vietnamese Restaurant! The dishes taste great and homemade, felt I was back in Vietnam having street food. The team is super friendly. In fact I don't know any other restaurant in Auckland we felt so welcoming. We definitely will be back and try every meal on the menu. You need to try the egg coffee - from another world so good!

Tasty food here. Grabbed the beef pho and also pork and tofu. Also had fried crab as a starter.

Ive been waiting for this place to open, and im not disappointed. Rich flavors with great presentation and thought into the dishes. It feels like street food yet turnt up a knotch with culinary creativity. We got two dishes red wine pho and ‘bun bo’. The pho was deep in flavor and the meat was extremely tendor. The ‘bun bo’ had almost too much meat - im not complaining ;) i would definitely order both again. The service was also helpful and friendly too! Highly recommend.

I always get the beef salad. It's the best beef salad EVER!

One of the most authentic Vietnamese restaurants in NZ! This place is so cosy, has a nice vibe and well decorated with lanterns, looks a lot like those street restaurants in 🇻🇳 We ordered Vietnamese coffee and royal tea, drinks are served in the traditional way. For the food we had lemon grass grilled chicken with vermicelli and braised pork stew. Delicious!!

Delicious food and great service iv been here twice for lunch and it’s been amazing both times

Took us back to Hanoi, where we visited a couple of months ago. Good friendly service too.

Had lunch here on a Monday with a friend. We ordered from their special menu for Monday. Any meal ordered came with a small free coffee each. Can’t remember what our dishes are called but the photos will help. 😄👍 <br/><br/>This restaurant is nicely set up with plenty of seatings and nice atmosphere. <br/>The food was nice but lacked a bit of flavour and my rice dish could do with a bit more chicken on it. <br/>The service was great though. Very helpful and friendly staff. <br/><br/>Would definitely recommend to friends and return to try other food on the menu.

Staff were friendly and polite. Our waitress walked us through the menu and gave us plenty of time to decide. The interior was lovely. Enjoyed the tofu appetiser and egg coffee. The main was flavoursome.

Prawns for the salad were chewy & the salad was missing mango; chicken in the lemongrass chicken rolls was dry & couldn’t taste any lemon grass and the peanut dip with it was bland; the broth of the pho was really good but the beef(not the brisket but the other cut) was chewy; the squid was bland and so was the mayo in it.

Had lunch there today with Grabon deal of $44 for $80 which is of good value.<br/>Love their flamable beef pho the most, of which fresh broth consists a great depth of flavor. And the flamable beef has a good smoky touch to it. However tiger prawn salads, as well as all side salads comes with rolls is all too sweet. Waiteress are nice and approachable, however the service could have been more organized.

New menu is coming at Viki Vietnamese and it is worth to pay them a visit. There are dishes that you can't find anywhere else and the signature charcoal grill menu is a must try!

We had the pho and bun bo. The pho soup is very nice and fragrant and full of flavour. The bun bo serving is huge which was a bit unexpected (lol we had to take away in the end). The bun ho comes with a nice dressing and lots of beansprouts. The best part is that the beansprouts have been lightly stir fried which is a big plus!<br/>We also ordered the special duck, which was flame grilled with an amazing flavour! Unfortunately it is really really really chewy. The duck is definitely cooked but the fat in the skin hasn't been rendered and the skin is very rubbery. We took the whole dish away after realising we just can't rip through the skin and I ended up doing some further cooking at home with it. I'm not sure if that was how it was meant to be but we did feedback to staff. They were very lovely about it and said will let the chef know.<br/>Overall will come here again and try other dishes. Definitely give the flame grill menu a go because the flavour is amazing, but I probably won't order the duck next time just in case it's meant to be on the chewy side.

The both of Beef and Chicken Pho tasted nice. They don't have a strong taste but a kind flavour.<br/>I personally liked the chicken meat which was soft and had a subtle flavour.<br/><br/>The crunchy spring rolls were good, too. If there were more pieces on the plate, we could feel more satisfied.<br/><br/>The ornament from the ceiling and the big tree in the restaurant were a feast of our eyes.<br/><br/>The serving lady was very kind & lovely.

Comparing with photos taken by other diners it seems like we’re missing some herbs in our pho? Flavour wise everything tasted pretty good. Waiter knocked my sunglasses off the table accidentally but other than that service was excellent.

Saw this on a voucher site and thought I'd take a drive there to enjoy some Vietnamese food. A little unfamiliar with the place, so got lost trying to find the place after the mall closed at 6pm. Anyway, found it in the end and it was worth it. Got the spring roll, bun cha and a pho. They're quite large portions. We'll be back!

Xin chào (hello in Vietnamese)... Found a new little street food gem by Glenfield mall. Love the fragrant beef pho, spring rolls, flaming chicken and tender grilled lemongrass pork with nuoc mam dipping sauce. $70.80 for three mains and one entree. Service is top notch, full of smiles. Portion size is generous with fresh produce and meat. Taste delicious!<br/><br/>Went back for second time, tried their chicken salad, flaming pho and pork belly with dipping sauce and vermicelli. Even better than the first time. Their food is delicious and made to order!! Local favourite...

Heard this place makes authentic Vietnamese food . ( As oppose to the Vietnamese like hansan who are more Chinese influenced). Although I haven't tried all the dishes, but I highly recommend the stir fry beef vermicelli (Bun Bo) was my favorite! So flavorful! The flammable beef pho was also delicious. Although, i normally opt for the thin rice noodles ( they serve wider ones).<br/>During lunch time , there's a special fried chicken coconut rice , which is also our favs & good value.

Came here for the first time, was very impressed! It has great flavours, good portion sizes and so affordable! Coming here again! Very friendly staff as well!

That is big for a dish. The food not too special, nothing impressive with me. There are quite a few options. Anyway, that is enough for dinner.

Great food on a cold and rainy day.<br/><br/>The appetisers were amazing and definitely stood out.<br/><br/>Spring rolls and chicken wings were top notch.<br/><br/>The mains were piping hot and good.<br/><br/>Calamari and rice is great if you love pineapples 🍍 and the flaming beef pho had delicious beef.<br/><br/>

Had the beef pho and the flame grilled beef pho. Broth is good and would recommend the flame grilled beef pho higher as the beef has extra flavour and umami.<br/>Tried the Vietnamese coffee and I was disappointed! The coffee didn't taste as strong as traditional Vietnamese coffee<br/>But overall, pho was good and the broth is tasty so a good spot for a meal on a cold Winter day!

Nice place and amazing food taste. Awesome pho!! Fresh, tasty! Really authentic taste I absolutely love the other food! And all the staff here so friendly.

Went for dinner here on Thursday evening. As the writing of this review, they only have their soft-opening menu with limited food options available. I would look forward to their full menu when they arrive.<br/><br/>We ordered ourselves Nem for our entree, which is the filled fried spring rolls. This was our favorite part of our dinner and certainly tasty.<br/><br/>For mains we picked the Viki Pho and one of the hot plate stir fry. The hot plate was tasty, it had a lot of flavours with a good tad of spicy but the rice helped tone it down if it feels overwhelming.<br/><br/>The pho was fine. I think they have played it safe to not make it too authentic that may deter some local taste but I did enjoy the meal. Good serving size, however there was no soup spoon provided and did make it a bit difficult to eat. Some people might find the corriander and onion a bit plenty but the aromatic was great nevertheless.<br/><br/>The Vietnamese Egg coffee is rare to find in NZ so I'm glad they offer this option as part of their menu. It is a sweet coffee, similar to a creme brulee with a thicker coffee consistency. I thoroughly enjoyed this personally. Should the coffee served on a candle lit bottom, this will allow me to adjust the consistency to suit my liking just how I had it in Hanoi.<br/><br/>Price suits the average dining price, ranging from $13-20.<br/>It's certainly more for the experience rather than to eat my face out.<br/><br/>Would come back again<br/>Looking forward to your full menu soon hoping to see more authentic options to choose from

I've been here a few times and I absolutely love the food!! Ambience is great and all the staff here are so welcoming and nice. The food came out fast and it is so worth the price. My favorite restaurant in glenfield!!

Wanted to try this new restaurant so badly so went there recently. Staff greeted us and their customer service is good, great ambience.<br/>However I can&#039;t rate their food. Ordered 2 main dishes. One was noodle dish with fried vege and tofu. It was very oily, I don&#039;t know why they have used too much oil for this dish. It tasted bland. No flavour at all. Other dish was with rice and fried vege/chicken. That dish was ok,but not satisfied with the taste,basically same as tofu and vege dish. Only differnece was this dish has chicken instead of tofu.<br/>&nbsp;I wouldn&#039;t go there again nor recommend it to family &amp; friends. Disappointed. May be their other dishes are ok.

We walked in as my partner didn’t feel like cafe food just before 4pm. I looked at the reviews while ordering food and felt pretty nervous about the place. This is a new place and the only first 5 reviews were not so good. But I have to say the food smells really good before put on table and taste even better! Big portion so I don’t think it’s over priced. If you like Tik tok in Takapuna you will love this place! If you are expecting Glenfield mall food court food then you’re at wrong place. Staff was very nice service was good. Coffee is pretty good too. I will come back for dinner soon!

Place looked nice and I like the ambiance. Food was good I must say, it didn’t really have that authentic Vietnamese taste. And I feel their food are tad over price.

Tasty food, slightly over priced food. 4 chicken wings for $13 is near enough to a daylight robbery. Menu said slow cooked Scotch, i bet any money this was “quick” cooked beef rump steak.<br/>Service is poor and very unorganised, we saw a saw the waitress take water to a table next to us & asked if we could also have some, she pointed to the till & told us to get our own. Also saw another table waive her over 3 times she ignored them & pretended to be busy before asking another waiter to take their order. With service, food & prices we rated them a 2.5/10

For the pho, didn’t have an authentic taste to it (the broth and noodles were JUST ok) and overpriced. The traditional Vietnamese coffee were good. Alcohol available.

Wasn’t too impressed with the food. Over priced for the pho, didn’t have an authentic taste to it, I had the Viki Pho and half of the meat was chewy and other half of the meat felt like I was eating sausage meat. Menu says the meat would be medium rare and well cooked scotch fillet, and did not turn out like this at all. Broth was bland, noodles were good. The nem g/d spring rolls weren’t too bad but at the same time I wouldn’t be raving about it either, have had better at other Vietnamese restaurants.<br/><br/>The ladies serving the table were awesome, however please make sure to double check your bill if you are in a group, as the guy who was ringing up my order didn’t have the best hearing, even though I had pointed it out on the menu what I got and how many I was paying for & still got it wrong. <br/><br/>All in all, I wouldn’t go back there at all.
