Never tried this style of food before, and I can honestly say this is the best experience I have ever had dining out. The food is amazing, the staff are awesome, location is great, and the price is fabulous. This will be my regular go to place in Palmerston North, Thank you 👍
We went there this evening and I can highly recommend the � food. It's simply amazing home cooked Vietnam traditional food . I had Vietnamese chicken curry and the flavours with the vegetables are fresh and chicken so tender it just melted in my mouth.
We went away feeling amazed that a regional town has such good quality food. Anyone who goes here will not be disappointed.
Will definitely return again and again
I’m half Vietnamese/Cambodian myself and I can personally say this place provides authentic and delicious pho as well as other dishes. Highly recommend.
This place has gotten a lot better over the year. We ordered a lemongrass chicken and a pho. The pho was authentic, refreshing and wholesome. Lots of beef which was tender and thinly sliced. Noodles were the thin type and were cooked well. I thought they added too much bean sprouts , it would be nicer served on a side dish that you can add yourself. The lemongrass chicken was a good portion, and the chicken was very well made: quite crispy on the outside from pan frying but tender in the middle. The way they seared the chicken also added a smoky taste which was nice. It's also relatively well priced. The only downside is that it takes a long time for food to be served. Even so, It's now my go to Vietnamese 😋
I have visited this place many times. The fact that I come back would probably say that it's a place I enjoy.
They have a good selection of NOODLE SOUPS, which is almost exclusively what I order. I and my companions have ordered other meals and have concluded that due to their portion size, they are NOT worth getting. Therefore I am only writing in regards to their Pho and other noodle soups.
The quality of the Pho bo and Pho ga are definitely impressive. The broth is flavourful and clean, and I do enjoy it every time. The Bun bo hue and Bun thang are also very good. The quality (and even presentation) is the reason why I come back.
The drawbacks are that the prices are slightly expensive for what I'd expect for a Vietnamese noodle soup - ~$15-17. Compared to another Vietnamese restaurant Saigon Corner in Palmerston North, you do get higher quality but you definitely DO pay for it!
The service has always been superb, although it can be a bit understaffed at times. The owner/waitress always has a smile on her face and is pleasant. The atmosphere is good with a clean, warmly lit interior and the toilet is also very clean and smells nice! (for once).Overall, a good Vietnamese restaurant that serves quality noodle soups for a slightly-pricy end of the scale. Would NOT come for any of their non-noodle soup dishes.

Great food and lovely service at a reasonable price. I highly recommend the noodle soups and bahn mi. The food is absolute soul food with fresh ingredients and tons of flavour.
We were a group of 4 and enjoyed a shared lunch. Had ordered net spring rolls, chicken avocado paper rolls and tempura prawns as starters. They were well prepared and tasty. The duck with noodles and beef pho was very tasty too.
Really nice people! Amazing sense of humor and very fast! Food was pretty delicious and don't forget to buy a tea bag near the counter before you leave. They are really good as well! Nice atmosphere with cute decorations and closes later than the majority of restaurants in Palmerston North, which I gladly appreciate!
This place is a town favourite. I love the lightness and freshness of their meals. Their service used to be slower but I noticed its improved lately. I try to go for their specials and I love their soups. Their noodle salads are good too.
Great option for vegans too. Fantastic all round.
Been living in NZ over a year now and have spent some time in Vietnam but this has to be the tastiest food I have ever had since being here. Owner provides great service and a very pleasant atmosphere. Definitely give it a try.
Beef phò top drawer.
One of the best pho around the country. Ordered special pho with raw beef, beef meatballs and braised beef slices. Everything being juicy and tender, just perfect. Also had spring rolls, really nice too. Will definitely revisit.
Amazing broth, fantastic noodles, delightful sauces to add the zing to the dishes! Favourite dish is definitely the summer rolls.
Amazing food and excellent customer service! I love Vietnamese cuisine so I have been to many Vietnamese restaurants, and this place is my favourite! I live out of town but make special trips to Palmy just to come here. I love their phở and fresh rolls ♡♡ My husband always orders their egg coffee!
Fantastic customer service, food that is good looking and tasting, you're provided with additional sauces too if you want to add some more heat to you're meal. An all round pleasant dining experience for me.
Bonus score are the bags of tea leaves they have there. Highly recommend the lotus tea.
This place is our favorite! Its casual, the food consistently delicious, its fast and the service is always friendly and wonderful. We usually order spring rolls and a pho soup each - it takes like home cooking! Always look forward to coming here.
My go to place for some home cooked noodles soup but prices had gone up recently. Love it that they have the authentic Vietnamese coffee.
