My first experience of eating Vietnamese food was anticipating. The venue was clean but I did not really enjoy the fried noodles it was too soft and watery apart from the chicken pieces and vegetable, which was crunchy. Overall, food was 4/10. The cocktail was a bit bitter at first but become fruity and tasteful. 6/10.

The food and service were, as always, fantastic, however, music volume was slightly too loud for a dining experience. We had to talk with raised voices to hear each other. Not sure if it is because at the back the echo and the speakers positioning makes it louder, but it was not very enjoyable. The staff refused to lower the volume quoting head office rules. Just FYI, we found music choice very good, just not the volume.

Perfect for a spontaneous solo date, mid week. Pho bowl mixture of chicken, beef, and prawn was a good choice, suggested by the house.

We’re we’re a huge party and they were incredible. I didn’t catch our servers name, but she was wonderful and super attentive. The broths were so delicious and the summer rolls were absolutely incredible.
