Great food friendly service
First meal in Wellington and I’m so glad I came to this place for lunch! $15 and I could get a bao with soft shell crab, 3 chicken wings, small pho broth and a tiny piece of brownie.
The bao was so soft and the soft shell crab was nicely fried and crunchy. The sauce inside the bao was so yum! Wings were really juicy but I personally think that it was not enough flavour (or maybe because the pho broth was savoury and masked the taste of the wings). Pho broth smelt and tasted really good! In fact when I entered the place I could already smell the nice broth and made me really want to order pho but at the same time I also wanted to try their bao.:)
Well the food didn’t disappoint me and I highly recommend this place if you are travelling to Wellington!
Getting the $15 lunch deal is a very good option, as it comes with a variety of food. This is also a good place to go with vegetarians and vegans as there are many options for them to choose from. The staff is always lovely and the food is delicious

Coming from a gal who’s favourite cuisine is Vietnamese, this place was absolutely delicious. Every mouthful was bursting with the perfect balance of flavours and hit the right spot.
We ordered the “Five spice roasted pork bun” (4/5), “Bun cha hanoi” (5/5) and the “Creamy Chicken curry” (5/5).
Five Spice Roasted Pork Bun - The bao itself was nice, soft and squishy. The filling inside was OK, found it a little bit dry, but flavours were all there.
Bun Cha Hanoi - I was blown away of how authentic it tasted.
Creamy Chicken Curry - YUM YUM YUM! Creamy and so flavoursome. I was left wanting more. A must try!!
Went here for lunch and got one of the $15 lunch specials (bbq chicken bao, 3x fries pork dumpling, cup of broth, small brownie) and it was DELICIOUS. Bone broth was a serious stand out, will have to get pho next time because the broth was that good. But everything I had on my plate was stacked full of flavour. Lots of gf, vegan and vegetarian options. Only thing I’d say is if you’re feeling particularly or you’re a big eater would be to order something bigger than the lunch special.
Dunno why I'd never been here before. Fresh, yummy food with enough vegan options to make you feel like you actually have a choice. Fresh funky decor too. Friendly staff. Would give 4.5 stars as a more accurate review as food is good while not absolutely amazing, still will definitely be coming back!
This is one amazing place. The service was fast and food was scrumptious. There was a huge variety of food if you like this type of food. We will be back.
Three of us had the bao and dumplings $15 lunch special today. It’s a great way to try three main course dishes. The salt and pepper soft shell crab came in a light and fluffy bao bun, complemented by kimchi mayo. Three chicken and mushroom dumplings were well balanced with pho broth and spring onions. It was all finished off with a small piece of brownie swimming in chocolate sauce. Good value and friendly service.
Yeah MFs! This place is where its at! Tried the $15 lunch special and I am hooked! My friend had the beef curry and it was jam packed with flavour. I had the soft shell crab bao and dumplings :) yep this place does good dumplings.
This is also the first time I've had a bao that doesn't have a dry bun!!! What was also awesome and unexpected was a chocolate brownie to finish off!
Big ups to the front of house staff too 👌. #1fan
Cute little hole in the wall that doesn't look too impressive if you're standing on the street. The food is amazing and full of flavor. We had the Duck curry, chicken wings, pork ribs & shaking beef.
The duck was cooked to perfection and the lychees added a wonderful pop of sweetness to the creamy duck curry. The beef was cooked medium rare and was beautiful to eat. The pork ribs and chicken wings weren't anything too out of the ordinary but still pretty tasty.
The service was top notch with extremely attentive wait staff. The menu was explained to us clearly and when we asked for recommendations the wait staff was completely honest! Not something you see everywhere.
Overall, a really great place for a nice dinner with friends or even a funky date night.
Delicious.
They ran out of mango for my salad and dessert but they used replacement fruits and the food was still a vibe.
It gets busy early but I was dining solo and they popped me on the bar. Echoing advice below: book in advance for a group.
Really really good food! This is my second time visiting and both times were excellent. I'll be coming back for sure.
Food was authentic, good value for money and service was top notch!
The food was good, but nothing special. Nice to try, but I wouldn’t go back here (except for the desert🤤).
We had the salmon in banana leaf and the chicken curry, both with coconut rice. The salmon was tasty, but the portion was very small in my opinion. The chicken curry was good, but a bit too sweet in my opinion.
The desert (sticky rice pudding) was amazing! Although I am a bit biased probably because it reminded me of the mango sticky rice which was my favorite desert in Thailand. But if you are a fan of this kind of deserts, I strongly recommend you try it😁
Note: the restaurant is pretty full (at least for dinner) so booking in advance is probably better.
Cracking food! We had some really fresh Vietnamese food which we loved and super speedy and friendly service. Not to mention the Welly on a plate cocktail was very impressive.
We ordered many items on the list and shared-as it is intended - SO good! Ribs, Bao Buns, Curry, Dumplings,.. Cannot recommend more. Delicious and people are friendly, atmo is right - price is defo worth!
Very good good, comes out quickly and just at the right temperature. Lovely stuff and always ready to help. The pho is outstanding, the boa are delicious and the curry are as good as the rest. The outdoor seating are nice on a warm summer day or evening.
This place is always busy, so has a good buzz. The food is delicious and great value. Had a cocktail this time and that was really tasty too!
As soon as you walk in you can smell the different flavours in the air. The food tasted amazing and came out quick. Its a perfect spot to get together and share the variety of dishes. The staff were attentive and cleared empty dishes quickly. Would definitely recommend.
Have never tasted fusion food like this before👌😋
