Customer Review Summary

Diners most often return for the pho, praising its well-made stock, generous prawns and depth of flavour, with the imperial noodle soup and a mixed pho also named. Close behind are the crispy spring rolls and prawn summer rolls, and one reviewer describes a wafer-thin, shatteringly crisp wrapper made with Vietnamese rice paper. Crispy roasted pork with broken rice, dry noodles with well-marinated grilled pork and pickled carrots and radish, and a chicken banh mi also earn mentions. A vegan wok fried pho with tofu is singled out for its wok hei, and vegetarians and vegans are described as well served. Reviewers also name the coconut milk iced coffee as a well-balanced drink. Portions are called generous, and the staff are repeatedly described as friendly and welcoming. Several say the food has been consistent across many visits, and no complaints appear in the reviews. One diner who couldn't finish an egg fried rice with beef was kindly given a takeaway container.
