This place is a gem! Haven’t had such delicious Viet food in a while. We ordered the Bun Vermicelli with bbq lemongrass beef and the lemongrass chicken pho. Both of the dishes were just tasty beyond expectations. We also ordered the pork belly bao and salt and pepper squid as the entree. They were amazing. Literally had foodgasm! Highly recommend.

Is this what Vietnamese food should taste like??!! We had to have a pho on a cold Melbourne avo and was this the pho we had to have or what?! Flavours are authentic and beautifully balanced. The broth, with each mouthful, left you stopping, lingering thinking, 'What is that spice? What does this flavour remind me of?!" Even the roasted rice green tea is made on site?! I was cheeky enough to ask what 'brand' of tea was that?! And the lovely owner told me, "Oh, it's our own special recipe" Just them, I fell in love. We'll be back to sample EVERYTHING! Best Vietnamese I've ever tasted. How do you say, "First Class" in Vietnamese anyway?

The food and ambiance are excellent, definitely worthy of a five-star rating. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, and the staff are warm and attentive. We really enjoyed the char-grilled lemongrass chicken, twice-cooked pork with herbs, and the unique burger spring rolls, which offered a creative twist. Continue expanding such innovative dishes. Looking forward to trying the pho on our next visit!

Delicious! Service was great too! Popped in there for dinner after seeing reviews and did not disappoint. The squid and beef in betel leaf were so delicious! No noisy music so perfect place for a quiet dinner.

I had high expectations when I come after seeing the amazing reviews and expecting a range of unique dishes. But I was a bit disappointed that most highly reviewed dishes are not on the menu. Maybe the chef has changed? I ended up ordering a pho which tasted alright. Nothing special and the chili was not spicy at all. The environment and the service were great.
