Good Oz/Viet food on about 6 visits we have found the service fast, the wait staff cool, but that's just young unconfident Asian. Should be clean with lots of stainless steel, but don't bank on it. We keep going back because it is consistent and good value.
Very very angry and disappointed at the service and wait. For a simple meal of crispy chicken I waited for them to cook for the ppl that came in to eat in after me before they started on mine, the service was a shocker, it was like a macdonalds joint with staff who don't really care about any customer perception.
For a place in the city thats a restaurant, its actually good food and good value. My chicken noodle soup was good and my friend enjoyed there meals!! But my one complaint is that when you go to the toilets, you see the floors going there aren't that clean.
Not a happy customer here, I love authentic Vietnamese food, the soup and everything is very bland, tastes like water and noodles. Will not come here again!
Food is simple and tastes alright although a bit on the bland side. I prefer the places in Cabramatta and Canley Vale, which taste more authentic and are cheaper. But at Xic Lo the decor is better and is probably the best Vietnamese you're going to get in the city.
This unassuming looking café serves a brilliant clear egg noodle soup with crispy skin chicken on the side. Worth visiting for that alone, though the Summer rolls are great too. Cheap & cheerful, good food and free green tea on all the tables. Can't speak for the authenticity, but it seems like good food to me.
This place is great. I'm not picky or fussy at all so found this place great. This is real Vietnamese food (not a western thing on the menu). My fave is the Vermicelli Salad with Spring Rolls. And try the Winter Rolls. Service is average - but who cares - you don't go for the service - you go for the food - it's great!
Went to this because the one we normally go to were fulled. The beef noodle soup/chicken noodle soup were pretty plain and lukewarm. But I am mostly dissatisfied with the services. The waitresses were rude and unattentive. We didn't enjoy the whole meal. will not go back again!
Found this vietnamese restaurant very very average. Service was as you would expect from a vietnamese restaurant, chairs were uncomfortable. Food was a reasonable price but i found it very boring and bland. I had peppered beef with rice and the beef was not peppered flavoured at all, unlike many other vietnamese places i've dined at.
My boyfriend had pho and the stock they used was very uneventful as well.
For a quick craving of vietnamese in the city, it's good for a quick fix.. however if you want more authentic, flavoursome food for cheaper, definitely head out west towards Bankstown and Cabramatta.
