Went there on a Friday night and it was pretty quiet, with about 4 other people occupying the restaurant. We had Duck Pancake to share for starters, pretty big portion and tasty, Barramundi for mains was good, the cowboy beef was very tender even though a bit bland. Unfortunately the fried ice cream was unavailable. Overall was good. Service was very friendly and prompt. Atmosphere wasn't particularly Vietnamese - bit of a mixed bag but very pleasant. We did like the Latino music :-)

Had dinner here on Tuesday and we loved it. The menu looks really nice and even though we weren't that hungry, we opted for the duck liver pate with brioche and spiced pear, delicious. Mains were lamb backstrap with broadbeans and sweet potato puree simply divine and beef cheeks with carrot puree and onion confit absolutely gorgeous.

All generous portioned melt in your mouth dishes. For dessert we had the creme brulee and the assiette of mango, again marvellous. The food is very impressive and is matched by an impeccable and unintrusive service. The ambience is great. We are happy to have found this gem and will definitely be back for more.

The prawn dumplings are the best I have ever eaten anywhere. Signature pork dumplings didn't impress me too much. Ordered some beans with pork mince and despite being very yummy at $12 for a plate very expensive. Service was very quick to take the plates, one has to be quick to make sure to get all the food of the plates. Overall very enjoyable food and friendly service staff. Bit pricey.

Went there yesterday. Food was quite nice and everyone in the group enjoyed. Portions were a good size and we didn't need much else (We ordered mains only).
@ $25 the kids meal isn't the cheapest but a good size, fresh and no deep fried frozen crap. Perhaps, some form of sauce (besides Tomato) could be served. The price includes a soft drink and ice cream.

Service was present (lol), the waitress clearly wanted to be somewhere else, maybe that was the reason why she shuffed the wine bottle back in the cooler as hard as she could. Lol. If you are looking for some where with great service and fast cooked food keep looking.

If you can wait a bit for food and not too fussed about the service, great location, nice enough menu, good food. Better to pay for $30 for something decent than $20 for some horrible dish with shit view.

My GF took me there for my Birthday. The staff were very attentive from the start throughout til the end. A lot of reviewers had a bad experience but ours was pretty good. We had the carpaccio and corn chowder for starters, the duck and pork belly for mains and chocolate souffle for dessert.

The carpaccio was ok, cornchowder very nice and very small. the mains were good and the souffle nice but quite 'eggy'. At $85 for 2 courses the value for money is ok view, good service and nice crockery. Next time I think we just go for drinks and have some tapas/nibbles.

The food is always very fresh, freshly prepared, tasty and overall pretty well priced for the size and quality.

Staff is extremely friendly. Drinks are quite expensive and there is no BYO. If you don't like (to listen to) Karaoke don't go there. The share dishes are especially great and fun. Make sure to tell your mates that they'll have to take off their shoes before entering. Always helps to make a booking and to turn up a few minutes before your booking time to make sure the staff know that you're there.

Best Ice Cream place ever. Been going there for years. Always busy and staff can be so so but they'll always let you try some flavours.

The Duck is one of the best in Sydney only surpassed by Tai Wong BBQ up the road but harder to get to by car. By the whole duck much better value for money and van be put in freezer for a month or 2. Bit pricey but good quality. The dumpling place next to it has excellent BBQ Pork buns! Eaten inside once and wasn't too impressed but thats ages ago.

Went here 3 months ago, a couple of times. Food is overpriced unless you get the 2-4-1 deal. Not worth more either. Service is terrible and staff clearly doesn't want to be there. Shame, as it could be a nice(r) place.

Good little place. Food is ok but a bit pricey if you don't go for the $10 meals. Wine is very reasonable priced. Shame about the lack of review maybe they should have used the dunkirk name!
