Simple and unassuming from the outside, comfortable, well-lit and uniquely decorated on the inside. Witty and clever names for everything, just like the name of the place.
Good presentation of delicious food and very generous portions after the delicate & delicious entree when you order the Mr Gig's Banquet.

It’s one of our favourites in the city, true hidden gem and must try! Food is delicious and tasty, service kind and attentive, atmosphere and ambiance is welcoming, a well deserved 5 star find ! Few vegan options and all of them super yummy. Recommend trying tofu spring rolls and green vegan curry, but the everyone’s absolute favourite is Vegan Bahn Mi , which is die for and best Bahn Mi in the town. Vegan green curry is also super delicious. Staff is just extraordinary too , very friendly and accommodating. Atmosphere and ambience is very chilled down and restaurant is stylised as the typical Vietnamese restaurant with nice decorations but wait that’s not all. On Fridays and Saturdays nights only there is a surprise waiting to find in the back room, behind the dry cleaning, through the back doors (follow restroom signs). You will be completely mind-blown! There awaits authentic Chinese hidden bar ! Decorated with absolute attention to small details it’s a rare sight and looks and feels like old movie. Well done owners for creating this amazing place !

15-20 mins walk from Christchurch city central.
We didn’t make any reservation and turn up at 5:30pm, cozy seating and good ambience. They have around 10 tables with seating from 2 to 8. Good spacing between tables
Nice selection of food options, we chose pho and bahm mi. Same for drinks, wide varieties
Pho arrived piping hot soup, flavourful with lots of ingredients. Especially the chicken, it’s like alot compared to what we usually have. There is a small slice of lemon, make sure you squeeze it to bring out the refreshing taste of the soup. Bean sprouts are well cook no raw taste 👍🏻
Opted for pork belly bahm mi, served hot toasted bun that goes crispy. The sauce is good, it’s spicy like wasabi not chilli spicy (if you get me). Sauce is good match with the veggies and meat. You don’t get the too much meat feeling after diving through this. The veg and the sauce just balance the oiliness of pork belly (it’s fat but nice).
Almost forgot fresh spring roll, we LOvE it! Other half is not fond of prawn so this make him happy. It’s well balanced proportioned ingredients of tofu, vermicelli, mushroom, carrot and veg. The sauce is tasty, with grounded peanuts in the sauce and extra side dip.
Service is good, they came to our table couple of times to check in on us. Very attentive and cozy. I do recommend this place for their Vietnamese food.
What a delightful experience. After a marathon trip from San Francisco to Christchurch, we stumbled into You Hanoi Me on a whim and were bowled over. The starter of green rice fried prawns was terrific -- bright, fresh, perfectly cooked prawns with a zesty dipping sauce. We also enjoyed the monkfish in green curry and salmon salad cured in passion fruit. Everything was well-beyond expectation and prices were extremely reasonable. An unqualified success!
We were seated in the back ‘secret’ area. Much quieter then the front, atmosphere was perfect for a date night. Food was amazing and plentiful. Staff were friendly and awesome, and is just love to o back and try some more of the awesome menu
We had a really lovely time here. We had opted for the Mr. Gig's Banquet for 2. The entrees were absolutely divine and the Beef cheeks were one of the best we have ever had. The chicken salad was a bit normal (hence the 4 star) so we asked for the somtum salad. Service was excellent and the ambience was nice
Really great restaurant! Great flavor, lots of fresh herbs, big portions for good value! I’ve ordered the Sweet Jungle Curry before and it’s so hearty and tasty. I reckon meat eaters would enjoy this restaurant more than vegetarians.
We could not fault our special dinner on Thursday night. Everything was perfect - the food, the service, ambience, all great. My daughter from Auckland was blown away with the tastiness of each dish. Have been many times and can’t wait to go again!
Do yourself a favour & eat here !!!
Absolutely EVERYTHING was so flavoursome and tasty. There was nothing we could fault.
My table was a group of 7 and we had the most expensive banquet option.
Loved the food here! Really accomodating with our booking and we had a limited time to dine and nothing was any trouble. And we loved the food!! Will definitely return
