What People Say

"It’s not often that a restaurant lives up to the hype, but this one absolutely did."

Reviewers consistently praise the delicious food, friendly service, and vibrant atmosphere, making it a must-visit spot.

"Great lunch deal... A little bit of everything. Had the mango drink with lemonade- would like that to be less sweet but it was tasty... Sticky rice was perfectly sweetened. Food came out fast... The decor is interesting. I like the vibe and colors there. Food is good portion and feels authentic..."

"Hit the trifector. We didnt have a reservation but the front desk guy happily sat us at the bar. Hands down best soft shell crab bao buns. And the atmosphere was buzzing. I would recommend booking so you're not disappointed because this place is busy as. Delicious Vietnamese beers too."

"Had lunch outside. Staff were very helpful getting us shade and tables with our group of 8. Friendly and nothing too much trouble. Food was amazing and would recommend. The photos show Chicken Curry and Beef Curry Lunch Specials."

"Absolutely loved the food after a long hike in rainy and windy Wellington. The soft shell crab buns were a delight and so was the grilled pork. My meal was customised as I wanted a low carb meal. The noodles were replaced by salad leaves. My friend’s vegetarian meal was flavourful and satisfying."

"Will be back again for sure - first time dining there after trying their Wellington burger last year only disappointing factor is we waiting too long to go back! We go to The Old Quarter regularly."
