I had the beef pho and the squid pawpaw salad. The beef pho was average. I could understand the soup base it just was right and the beef was too well done. It wasn’t the best nor the worst but I couldn’t finish it. As for the friend squid in pawpaw salad, I was a bit dispointed. The salad was excellent but the squid was battered and the fried which didn’t go well with the salad. So I only had 1 piece of the squid. Overall average experience
It doesn’t look like much but this little restaurant serves great Vietnamese food. The slushy style coconut mint drink is really tasty and refreshing. I had one of the vermicelli noodle dishes which came in a large serving and was very satisfying.
The owner is very friendly and we love the Vietnamese themed decor at this clean, fresh cafe on the edge of Fortitude Valley. At $10, this is the most we’ve ever paid for a bahn mi – but the District 1 version with roasted crispy skin pork belly is delicious. The pho ga – classic Vietnamese chicken noodle soup was very nice and full of great quality ingredients but not remarkable. It’s a little bit more expensive than Inala, Darra or Sunnybank but this is reflected in the quality of the ingredients and the more central Brisbane location.
Tasty food, but they don’t handle much of a crowd. We arrived as a group of 10, there was a good half hour from when food started coming out and when everyone had their meal. Was probably 20 mins before the first dish came out so some people were waiting 50 mins for lunch in total.When it came out, it was very good. Approval all round.
Ordered the chicken pho at the eat street markets and usually I’m a bit of a fussy puss when it comes to soups. It’s either I like it or I hate it on the first impression and this soup base was actually pretty tasty. It carried all the flavours and wasn’t a split bland. Happy with that.
The bahn mi is incredible! I forgot to take a picture because I just dug right in. We ordered 1 first to share, and one pho, but we had to buy another bahn mi because it was really that good. It was really fresh and tasty.The pho was alright but I personally thought it didn’t taste very genuine (?) – as in, it tasted less like meat broth but more like sauces and additives? So I ate all the noodles and the meat, but didn’t really think I could drink up the soup.I also had the pineapple fried rice another time and it was alright. I think that it could be better if the rice was drier, instead of being like a sticky rice?The customer service is great! I’ll be back again especially for the bahn mi!
Average Vietnamese food, Lemon grass beef bun was lack lustre and just didn’t have that pop of freshness of herbs which I expect from Vietnamese salad, lucky I had nuoc cham in the fridge to give it a boost.Spring rolls were ok, not a great deal of flavour and we’re oily.Bahn mi had nice crisp baguette and the slow roasted pork was tasty, a little too much butter and not enough pickled vegetables. I doubt we would eat here again
