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 ago > Great 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 ago > Definitely 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., Lumi MARK, 3 years ago ## Doors - [What stood on this ground](https://www.chch.live/before?lat=-43.5310074&lon=172.5716573) - [On the map](https://www.chch.live/map#-43.5310074,172.5716573,17) - [Documents that name it](https://www.chch.live/documents?q=Royal%20Vietnamese%20Cafe%20%26%20Restaurant) - [Upper Riccarton](https://www.chch.live/upper-riccarton), the suburb - [The OSM record](https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/9999253418), fix it there ## Questions, answered briefly **What is Royal Vietnamese Cafe & Restaurant?** A Vietnamese restaurant in Upper Riccarton, Christchurch. **Where is Royal Vietnamese Cafe & Restaurant?** 8 Brake Street, Upper Riccarton, on [Brake Street](https://www.chch.live/street/upper-riccarton/brake-street).
