What a great find! Delicious fresh Vietnamese food, fast and in generous portions. We went early on a Sunday evening, by the time we left there was a queue at the door. Not surprised! Snuck in behind Riccarton Rd it's a hidden gem. Awesome value!
I Love Love their duck here, so Jucy and crispy!! And their soups are massiv! I tried most of them and they were all good!! Definitely recommend it 100% Also good for big groups!
Been here a few times, most of which are pretty good, except for one time.
The place always seems busy, and popular place, food is tasty and authentic, but sometimes popular items sell out, and parking is bit tricky to find.
But this time, not sure if we ordered the wrong thing or the chef messed up or what happened, we wanted pho but got this shredded noodle pieces, not a fan of it.
If you want to dine out in Christchurch, New Zealand must try this restaurant and taste the authentic Vietnamese food.
Delicious! Authentic Vietnamese pho! Love the taste balance created by the lemon and the fresh chilli (available upon request). The fresh and crunchy sprout adds to the texture of the soft noodle. The medium rare beef is top notch as well! 5 star for sure!!
Delicious food and great service. First Vietnamese restaurant I've ever tried. Couldn't fault the dishes as this is the restaurant that made me fall in love for Vietnamese food!
Only thing is rice a little bit dry .. not too big of an issue though as the main dishes carried the experience.
Parking a little too hard because this place shares with Eden Alley upstairs
Really enjoyed our noodles! Great value for money, restaurant isn't cutting corners like Ancestral is doing with their noodles.
Fantastic staff. A shout out to our server Michelle who was helpful and lovely. Food was excellent. We had the garlic prawns and curry fish and long beans.
Update.
So it's been a year since I last wrote the review. I still visit the restaurant regularly because the food is consistently good. The restaurant owner Bruce is also the epitome of a lovely host. Chatty and friendly. As an update their fried squid is lovely, as is their chicken with cashew nuts.
Delicious food and great portions. Highly recommend the crispy squid as the other reviewers have recommended, never had fried squid quite like it. Menu item 23 (special beef rice noodle soup/pho) was delicious but be warned, it's massive so bring an appetite. The sweet and sour pork, Vietnamese pancakes and fried egg noodles were also packed full of flavour. Looking forward to dining here again next time I'm in Christchurch
Wow. This is what an restaurant is, an owner who takes pride and talks to their customers. Authentic flavors, excellent customer service. Had 13, 46 and 56. Cannot fault at all. Only bad point is I'm only passing through, but is definitely the best I've had so far in Christchurch. Will come back whenever I am in town. Dessert was wonderful. Wife loved the flan.
