friendly staff& not slow service, but keep bringing mains out b4entrees, sometimes bringing all food4 one person& nothing4 other person2eat (y call food entrees on menu if not going2serve it seperately b4mains@table). For some reason S&P prawns can never taste salt&pepper which is odd& on top of that they were greasy, but I asked for them2do again& bring out as mains fresh& they did that so not go cold while eating entrees. Drink choices are varied& taste great (fruit tea, red milk tea, green milk tea, oj+cumquat juice, aloe with jelly+fruit)

Food was excellent and the layout was very cool! However, staff were very overwhelmed and stressed - brought out part of our cutlery and we had to wait for the rest. Then we had to wait for the sauces (to accompany pho) for a long time. Our drinks arrived when we'd almost finished eating. Other people were at counter complaining about having to wait for their food. Still, it was very tasty and it could have been an off night. We are keen to come back and try it again!

Dishes we ordered were a bit more Chinese than Vietnamese? Service was good and entrees were better than mains. Will go back to try other dishes. Open early for dinner...good if you have somewhere else to go.

We were in the beer garden. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Brilliant food. But we do need to let people pay their own bills. Or…… you could give us all separate tables?

Fantastic Vietnamese food and amazing service, really friendly, helpful staff, attentive, great memory, check on you....and the food was excellent, love the restaurant style and vibe too. We had lemongrass chicken salad, mixed stirfry with the house sauce and chicken pandan, great salad with mix of vegies/colslaw, crispy and fresh, chicken was tender and tasty and the house sauce on the stirfry was nice too! Consistently great, best in Adelaide! Thankyou

Hard to find as not signposted very well. Place is quite quirky but great atmosphere. Waitress was so friendly and had some great recommendations. Got a few drinks and meals wrong but didn’t fuss us too much., it happens. Food was so tasty and reasonable, authentic flavours. Hard to move chairs around as they were bolted to the floor, but comfy enough. Would def return.
