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.

Had a pleasant meal, served quickly and kindly. The food was nice not spectacular. I was asked if I wanted an extra egg on top of my noodle dish and I didn’t. The thing that put me off were two people on the table besides us who shouted for service. They must have been drinking because they were loud and unduly impatient with busy waiting staff. If I were the restaurant manager I would have made it clear that staff are not dogs at the beck and call of loud impoliteness, but people doing their best in à busy restaurant deserving respect. Loud swearing customers at the table next to me put me right off an otherwise perfect restaurant experience..

I was a solo diner and thought the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Restaurant has a lively, cool ambience. The seafood spring roll starter was to die for and my noodle based main really tasty. Overall, delicious, healthy food. Reasonably priced too!!
