I really actually liked the ambience of this place and service was to be expected, nothing to rave about but didn't have any problems with it.

Having recently moved from Sydney and expecting some satay beef pho we were sadly disappointed here but nevertheless stayed to try something else.

The spicy soup was super spicy, not complaining here, but flavours were lost a bit on it. However, the duck in the duck soup was definitely far past its used-by date and my partner was sick afterwards. By both the smell and taste it was not ok to eat and so I've had to rate the food quite low. I'd like to think that this is not the usual but I wouldn't return here before trying all the other Vietnamese places in Canberra first.

The prawns sour soup is awesome but a bit heavy on the Msg. Service and atmosphere are as to be expected from a down-to-earth Vietnamese. This is all about the food, not the surroundings.

Moved from Sydney to Canberra 6 months ago... at last, a decent vietnamese restaurant. Their Pho's authentic. This is from someone who used to visit a vietnamese restaurant at least once a week in Sydney. It's driven away the urge to drive 3 hrs to Sydney for a good bowl of pho... I'm not complaining

Tried chilli mussel and spring rolls but going back soon with a large group to sample a larger selection from the menu. On a Saturday afternoon, there was a constant stream of asians entering the premises... you know that's gotta be a good sign.

The foods great, price is right...I don't really care about the kitschy decor. So long as they don't increase the price of dishes to pay for an expensive fitout. It adds to the overall atmosphere... Even better, 25% off from Entertainment Book (up to $20 off).

Excellent little vietnamese restaurant and one of the best in Canberra.
The ambience and decoration are excellent and a clear reminder of vietnam. The service is good but you sometimes hear staffs talking loudly on the back.
Overall the value is excellent and the food plentiful.

It's ok food, portions are generous but flavour is lacking. Decor is is very dated & stereotyped which adds to its charm. A good place to go for a quick meal, but price a bit overpriced.

Went there for lunch yesterday and was very pleasantly surprised. We had Vietnamese spring rolls and quail for entrée. Flavours were amazing. Main consisted of caramelized pork and prawn and squid satay with steamed rice. Could not fault the meal, Service was quick.

Vietnamese rolls with sauce with peanuts are very good appetizers, eat 1 before big bip noodle soup. Bip is fresh with fresh vietnamese mint and raw taugeh (bean sprouts). Value is good when you order big one. Add $1 for extra noodel. I recommend special one with cow spare parts. High in cholesterol but make you smile.
