Great noodle dishes. Reckon Tudo has the best Pho and Bun Bo Hue in tow. Even friends from Sydney and Melbourne said so. The soup in Tudo are cleaner in taste and sweeter to some local joints in Sydney/Melbourne. The new owners are young, energetic and very accommodating to the needs of the customers. Lots of Vietnamese frequent the restaurant. Highly recommended.

There are other places nearby to have a taistier vietnamese meal. Food here is very bland and a feel of 'fast food' canteen style.

I love it - close to home, cheap and decent food.

But, as with many things in Canberra, just not on par with Sydney standards. E.g. bun bo xao is ~$12 here, but only $10 in Marrickville (and the meat is better in Sydney).

Props to the owners for offering cheap Asian food in Canberra, but really why is this city so lacking?

Amazing value, amazing rare beef pho and amazing spring rolls! I don't go there for the service or ambience, but the food is consistently good (although I've only tried a few, can't go past my favourites) and think it's some of the best vietnamese I've ever had!

After the makeover of the restaurant, it looks more high-class but the service remains poor. The food quality depends on what you order. The beef pho is ok, but other dishes are often disappointing. Apart from the pho, I think their best dishes are the fried spring rolls and grilled pork.

My husband and I always come here for our pho fix. Always serves consistently good food. With winter around the corner, we'll surely be here a lot to warm up the tummy with hot healthy pho.

The place has just had a make-over. Personally, I didn't mind how it was before. I wish they had not chosen dark navy as the feature colour - it's not a warm, cozy colour.

I have no idea why this place doesn't have a higher rating, it's better than a 6. However, it's, perhaps, a more 'realistic' rating than some of the othe Canberra Viet restaurants (Griffith one is our 'local', and the prices are great, but, I actually like Tudo better). But we'll be going to the Belco one today, so we'll see if they deserve their 8+ rating.

Consistent food and no-nosense home style cooking. If you are on a budget, this is the place to be. My partner and I have been coming to this cafe for ages. We can walk in and out within half an hour. Not really suitable for a party of more than 4!

Our family has been going to Tu Do for gatherings ever since I was a baby! The food is always great, their spring rolls are second only to one in my opinion. It is a small restaurant, so it can be a bit cramped (especially when our big family is there!), but it is worth it.

The Place: Considering it's a restaurant at the O'Connor shops, the decor and ambience are still okay. Not very friendly staff, but I have heard that the chef is legendarily grumpy (?) from local Viet-Aussie friends. Overpriced too, I think.

The food: Sensational. This is why the local Viet-Aussies I spoke to unanimously said this was the best Vietnamese in Canberra!

We have been here many times. The pho (rare beef noodle soup) is tasty and the pork chop with cracked rice is very well presented. Bookings are essential on busy nights. Be wary of the fresh prawn rolls though!
