The Royal beef pho was definitely the highlight, very special dish as it comes deconstructed and has many types of cuts/meat, also thoroughly enjoyed the chicken fresh spring roll as well! Great service and the chef even kindly explained the ingredients of the pho when we said it was even better than the ones in Auckland~ Hometown fresh spring roll was very unique because it even had a fried spring roll and eggs inside!
J M, 2 years agoGreat food. The service person offered to assist our large group with suggestions of what to order. Their suggestions were excellent. A great mix of delicious Vietnamese food. Service was friendly and very helpful.
Anna Sanson, a year agoDefinitely a hidden gem! We came here after visiting Joyful Bakehouse and decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised by their affordable menu and enjoyed every second of our meal. They were children/ baby friendly and the staff were kind and came and spoke to us frequently. We will definitely come and visit again.
