We returned to this restaurant after some long months away and still delighted. Went with a group of 10, shared all dishes, and all of them were mouth-wateringly good. Service was very good. And value excellent! We'll be back, it's a firm favourite.

Yeah it's Vietnamese with a bit of chinese and australian flavours thrown in, but the area is not exactly brimming with Vietnamese so it doesn't have to be 100% authentic. Decent enough for a nice family meal.

Had been to this restaurant many times and would give the food 10 out of 10, until after an absence of 6 months or so, we returned in March this year expecting our usual high standard of food. We weren't very disappointed. There was a new menu with a few of the old dishes, but when we ordered, were very disappointed that the standard had dropped. Seems to be under new management/chef. Will not be returning.

Decor of the place is plain but is better in appearance compared to most Vietnamese restaurants I have been to, probably because they kept the previous restaurant's look. I remember it used to be chinese restaurant that I went to quite often at the start till it went downhill.

Had beef noodle soup, vermicelli with grilled pork, sugar cane prawn and spring roll, fresh spring rolls with grilled pork and peanut sauce. Food was okay in terms of taste, however, there was way more noodle than ingredient toppings for the noodle soup and especially vermicelli dish. We shared our meals, finished it and weren't full so ordered the fresh spring rolls. The "peanut sauce" turned out to just be Hoi Sin sauce with peanut crumbs in it. Spring rolls were very good, it wasn't too soggy or dry since it was just made.

Overall, it was okay as they don't have much of competition around the area. However, it won't be a regular dining area for me.

This is your average Asian eatery with decor from the 80s, friendly prompt service and a massive menu that takes ages to read. We chose prawn rice paper rolls which, unfortunately, had an unpleasant odour but tasted fine. The mains (BBQ chicken and pork with lemongrass and chilli) were generous and quite good. We left with very full tummies for under $50.

This place has gone down hill fast, it maybe under new management. Ingredients do not seem fresh anymore, and there is no consistency. Dishes taste different each time! won't be heading back again.

Disappointing, I had eaten here a few times and had been happy with the food but this last time I thought the food and surroundings very poor. Nothing original and lacked the usual delights of vietnamese food.
