I'm surprised how people think the food is good. We ordered soups and it was bland like a cup of hot water with a bit of noodles. The mains were also bland and needed lots of condiments to give it any taste and zest. It was nothing near original Chinese food. I guess they are trying to cater for a sanitised Anglo palate. I don't think it's the restaurants fault but more the bland taste of its customers. Service was good, portions were large. But overall it was expensive.

Food was very bland high expectations from reading the menu, seeing the presentation of the food, and when my dish was served, every mouthful, there was nothing there. It lacked a complete taste and smell sensation. Bland.
This trend is common as restaurants are cutting back on cheaper quality and less expensive foods. Not good!

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

Very average, with no competition around I guess management feels there's no point in fixing the place up or improving service/quality.

Hmmm... This place has much going for it, cosy interior, decor a bit old fashioned but can be used with events &/or managed character to add to it's potentia; charm. Exceptional outdoor setting sunny, spacious, but... the quality of the food and coffee needs improvement especially for the prices charged. Service also needs attention, always too many staff running around with few taking any orders or wanting to take orders. And service from the kitchen either too slow or microwaved fast, need for quality improvement.
Seems like management is banking on little competition and exploiting their customers. And please do something about the music, the piped music needs be more funky. Place has potential but my patience can only go so far.

It has a good spot but desperately needs a face lift! Food is very average. Biggest disapointment portions too small! The mains are entre size and overpriced.

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.

It's a cool pub, and as pubs go drinks & food are reasonable. A frequent place.
