This was a business lunch. Sad food, no service. I don't know why they don't switch over to a fast food franchise. Not Recommended.

Lovely food but very small portions. Friendly and helpful service. Great location for us but we won't be going again unless they increase their portion sizes.

Love this place. My quick fix when I'm really hungry and just want something quick and tasty. I love their rice rib combo. And on a cold night a bowl of their combination pho just about do it for me. The best Vietnamese restaurant in town!

This was the second "seafood" place that I visited in the last two weeks. It was at the behest of my good friend, and I went along quietly despite my preference for about any kind of food other than seafood.

We started with garlic bread. It was covered with a drool of buttery garlic mess. We did not finish it, despite being hungry. My friend had a fishy entre and I skipped. I voted for steak as my main course. Wherever they buy their meat, they should try a new supplier. The steak was tough, veiny, and clearly cow meat. It was, however, cooked to order and nicely placed on the plate.

The overall effect of the restaurant was that it was a commercial venture without any soul. The prices were too high for the class of food and service. I would not want to repeat my visit in the near future.

I found this place so enjoyable. I had vermicelli with pork chop. Haven't stopped thinking about it since. The meal was so fresh and the service was awesome. This little place has an awesome vibe. The owner knew many customers by name. Going back again tomorrow!

Awful food small portions and minuscule entree made me want to leave this shop as soon as I could not to say that it is quite expensive considering the size of the meals. The broth from their Bun bo hue was spicy with a bland taste and
We had four people eating there and we all thought the food was bad.

It is just day and night compared with Phu Quoc in Dickson so I don't understand why someone from Dickson which is the food part of town has to drive all the way to gungahlin to eat in this shop.

We'll be making the trip from Dickson more often. Amazing pho broth and the "bacon and eggs" (pork chop and rice) was stellar. That chilli sauce.

Quiet a small shop front but doesn't stop them from producing simply superb food. The rice paper rolls and the freshest I've tasted and the service there was fantastic.

Not a pleasant experience! Service very poor! Waiter gave rude attitude all night. Should have walked out 2 minutes after being seated. 'Special "crying duck"' not so special. Like salt and pepper squid although not enough to go back.

Noisy venue with ordinary decor, rude staff with a poor service attitude, uninspiring food with optimistic prices, ok drinks at anything but ok prices just about sums up the Kennedy Bar for us.

I paid just under $15 for 2 rice rolls (served cold from the fridge and therefore tasteless) and 3 small and rather dull chicken gyoza. Perhaps, huge bowls of noodles in soup is the way to go but I shall give it a miss. Service was non-existent, had to ask for chop sticks, there were no napkins and/or cutlery on the table and I was not offered water.

We had a good meal but upon leaving I realized we had been over charged. I submitted an enquiry expressing that I felt I had been over charged only to receive an impolite response stating that I had been charged for what I had been served. There was no apology offered and I was made to feel that the mistake was entirely my fault when it was clearly not. A good lunch turned into an over priced disappointment.

Omg - where do I start? Went there for lunch to celebrate a birthday. They lost our booking (we booked a week before). Wait staff were less than interested and we stood waiting to be seated for at least 10 minutes. They had advertised that they served alacarte lunch, all we were given was an all day dining menu, probably the same one for room service for the hotel.

The waiter argued about what we received as inclusions with our meals (although it was listed in black and white on the menu) and wanted to charge us extra. We were only asked for drinks once. We had to ask for pepper, salt and serviettes to be placed on the table. Overall a very disappointing experience and one we will not be repeating.
