This is a very busy restaurant, and for the life of me I don't know why. The decor sux, and that doesn't need to be a problem if it has great food, but the food sux as well. The owners - and what I assume are family members that work the floor - are all lovely people, but really, can they let up on the braised onions? This is just not good food. I usually love little family places that are unpretentious (think Tak Kee in Dickson) but this just doesn't rate.

There is a quirky tradition here of diners writing comments on A4 sheets and sticking them on the wall, usually full of praise for the establishment, and it seems to have caught on with the pollies when they are in town. Maybe that's the appeal. You can see gushing comments from the likes of Beazley or Turnbull or Gillard or just about anyone on the front benches, but I think this only proves that all politicians are liars! If you want good Vietnamese in the inner south, go to Giles street in Kingston.

A very sad reflection of what can be a great cuisine. The owners are typical of some people who set up ethnic restaurants and think that all you need to do is be part of that ethnic community to qualify. They might understand Greek, but they don't understand food.
