We booked 2 tables- one for our daughter and 4 friends and a separate one on the other side of the restaurant for the rest of the family. They were so good looking after the 12 / 13 year old girls and treating them like young adults. Food was delicious. Service excellent. We all had a great evening.

The service was too quick between the starter and the main. There was no time to talk or digest the food, as if they wanted to get rid of you ASAP. The waiting on the table could have been a lot better, maybe a smile or chat, will not be going back

First visit here for a while. Service not great; wine was not chilled; waitress was very slow and took for ever to take order; summer rolls were inedible - thick rubbery when rice paper should be super fine and almost transparent - should have taken off bill but didn’t. Pho chicken soup was good but other dishes my friends had were very average.
