Soooo happy this is my local ! The food was delicious & fresh and the service was soooo lovely and friendly. Im already excited to go back 🤍
I think I found Banh Mi heaven. It was so delicious. And I’m normally a chicken gal but when I saw their pork and crackling, I couldn’t go past it. And the size of it! Up there with one of the best Banh Mi I’ve ever had! The Leningrad chicken noodle bowl was also absolutely delicious. It felt like I walked into the kitchen of my Vietnamese friend’s Mum. Must go.
Super crunchy fresh vegetables that paired perfectly with the flavourful lemongrass pork served with hot rice noodles. I also ordered the fresh lemonade. Everything was perfect and everyone who worked there was bubbly and cheerful. I highly recommend the spot. My total bill came out to $23 ($17 + $6).
This may be even better than the banh mi in Vietnam! The bread is perfectly crunchy enough on the outside and soft on the inside. The crispy pork belly is made fresh every day and is so tender with the fat rendered down enough to melt in your mouth. All the veggies are crisp and cold and the sauce ties everything together. Service is fast, efficient. Will be coming back many times!
Really good place to dine in or take away for real Vietnamese cuisine. We ordered Banh mi and some other food. Banh mi was awesome. Recommend without any second thoughts. Service was fantastic and you can seat inside or outside as well.
Pho broth was tasty and not too salty. I had my chicken Pho and my husband had Beef pho. We wish the food portion size can be bigger in this large bowl. We came for a late lunch but the restaurant was busy, service was efficient and timely. We also got the assorted dessert and iced coffee which was a good selection and highly recommended. I would return because the food was good , hot and quick.
Edit: New rating 4.6. After coming back again, the food was mostly as good as the first time. Rated 4.7. We ordered a banh mi, a pho, and some spring rolls. The food was very tasty and reasonably priced. We were glad the pho was spicy enough. The portion sizes were good. We intend to eat there again in the future.
No wonder it’s 4.9 ratings. Well worth it! I went three days in roll. Good price, good service and good food! Fresh and authentic! No allergic reaction from MSG for me so far!
BEST VIETNAMESE FOOD THAT IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE
Bahn Mi perfectionism is a fundamental principle of my life. I m a Irish looking Aussie but have a love for chilli, I always ask for very hot, extra chilli but never get it, I think it s just how I look, but I make it very clear. The chicken liver pâté could be thicker but for the price I understand. A great lunch for a tradie, I wish I could do 4.5 on food but have upped the atmosphere from 3->4 to cover it. Only takeaway for me. Wouldn t go on a first date unless she wants a Bahn mi for lunch. Solid, not something I d rave about but solid and close to site Wheelchair accessibility: If you eat outside it s fine, cramped and likely difficult to manage inside. But the staff would be more than willing to help and take your order from the door etc.
Amazing pork chops and hot coconut coffee
The lemongrass chicken noodles I got were divine. The meat was so tender and the dressing was perfect. Would definitely eat here again!
The food is great, but theres an issue with the atmosphere. One of the staff members speaks very loudly in her language, which makes it difficult to relax and enjoy my meal. It would be wonderful if she could speak a bit more quietly to enhance the dining
The vegetarian banh mi was ok. It was simple and not very flavourful. There are many other great Vietnamese restaurants in West End.
Always delivers!
Best restaurant in Westend!
Outstanding
Food was great. The rice paper rolls could use more herbs instead of just lettuce and sprouts. Crispy pork banh mi was on point and so was the pho. Friendly service.
The best BBQ Char Siu pork banh mi I had. It had everything. The staff were friendly and welcoming. They gave me my order packed in a bag, which was helpful from them. Will go back again for sure. The dining area is decent. Thanks Food
Vegan pho was excellent
Wonderful food great service
Wonderful food, made the weekend 5 star
Over priced, not much portion but guy was friendly
Delicious food, great portions, quick service. Highly recommend. I ll be back!
The best Vietnamese restaurant Ive ever eaten at. The owner is lovely and the staff is very friendly.
The best pho I ate in Australia. The flavor is suitable for both northerners and southerners
Very delicious. Feels authentic. we really liked the bun me and also other dishes. Food : 5/5
One of the best Vietnamese place I ve been to. Pho is great, and the pork belly is absolutely amazing.
I came here at least once a week, never disappointed! BEST Vietnamese Foods in West End!
Cozy family restaurant, food was great and served in a timely manner. Been coming back multiple times, thanks for the good food !
Delicious tasty food
Great traditional Vietnamese food
Great bahn mi. Quick service and very big portions. Gets super busy around lunch time.
I had the lemon grass chicken with rice. It was so delicious and very full of flavour. My favourite place for eat this dish!
Gave me and my friend food poisoning wouldn t recommend
Great banh mi, up there with the best Ive tried so far in qld, nsw and vic. Could just do with a bit more chilli! So maybe pack your pockets from home first and youll be sussed ;)
Best spring rolls I had in a long time!!
I just had the best banh mi in Australia at this place! Got the crispy pork banh mi and the traditional banh mi; I ve been to Vietnam twice for extended periods and nothing beats this place! All traditionally made by hand with the best ingredients! Check it out!
As an Asian, food has never tasted so good !
so average. couldn t finish my rice paper roll and everything tastes like vegetable oil :(
Food was cheap, so aight I guess but almost no flavour only good item was the lemongrass chicken.
Clean, tidy restaurant. good foods and friendly staff
Great authentic Vietnamese food, the best in Brisbane! Must try
Absolutely delicious. Best Vietnamese in Brisbane. Fabulous service, great prices.
Lemongrass beef was very good. No frills restaurant
Amazing Bahn Mi at a reasonable price. I am from Sydney and this competes with and beats a lot of our places.
Only had the rice paper rolls, but they were amazing - huge and stuffed nicely with yummy chicken. I wish it had mint sprigs, but thats my personal preference - they were still really good.
Good variety of foods available, inside & outside dining
The worst vietnamese food we had for a long time. We had chicken noodle bowl and beef rice bowl. Meat was terrible and no taste, not a single herb just a bit of lettuce, cucumber and carrot. Same applied for the prawn ricepaper roll. Would give zero stars if possible.
Best vegan bahmi I ve had! Quite a big bahmi too. Owner is very friendly. Trying out the vegan Pho next time I visit.
Best Bah Mi in Brisbane. Get the Crispy Pork. The lady even helped adjust my drink sweetness levels. The server was cute Food
This is without a doubt the best Pork Belly Banh Mi in the area. The pork was tender, juicy and full of flavour while the rind was perfectly crisp and salty. The baguette was a standout, freshly baked in house, crispy, flakey and slightly buttery. The salad was crisp and fresh from the owners gardens, bursting with flavour. The egg Mayo was rich and paired the paté perfectly. Its hard to find a decent Banh Mi, if you want the best in South Bris area then this is the place.
The best Vietnamese restaurant I have ever try. all the staff are so friendly and food is so delicious. I really enjoy my meal here.
How good is that Lemongrass chicken.... Woahhh.... So good! ..... Between 1-100 Id say its a sold 342.5 Go here with your friends, family or if you dont have either.... Sorry cat not allowed. Maybe leave cat outside... The service is amazing, the smiles are big, the flavor is huge and the price is right. P.s. no cats!!!... Maybe .. I dont know. Ask them.
Our whole family loved it. Something for everyone here. Food was delicious and the staff were so lovely. Definitely will be back.
Little Vietnamese restaurant hidden in the corner of the Westend. Quite authentic menu with specialty in variety of phô and Vietnamese drinks. Tried their vegan phô, like the vegan meat, tofu and the shitake in the soup and the fresh herbs & chilli. Also tried the hot coconut dripped coffee, taste very special, sweet and salty with the traditional viet coffee taste.
Great service, food was so authentic and nice. The Chef came out and joined us for a chat. Must try if youre in the area.
Went with a group of friends, the staff are beyond friendly and the food was Delicious. Would 100% recommend and visit the next time I have a craving for some delish Viet food.
Loved the lemongrass chicken banh mi !!!! So delicious and the owners are very friendly and passionate. Can t wait to try more from here
Banh mi was a 10/10, generous portions
This restaurant deserves more than 5 stars, it blew my mind with how delicious the food is, the service is incredible, the workers are all friendly, the place is cozy and very clean. It is worth coming to eat here, the prices are good and the dishes are large. Thank you for everything, we will surely come back here.
Recommended!!
Unfussy, affordable, authentic Vietnamese food. Their bahn mi is one of the best Ive ever had. Their salads are always fresh and well balanced in flavours. Very fast and friendly service.
Great food and service.
Ordered duck noodle soup and Lychee iced tea. The lychee flavour is very strong with actual lychee on top, would say 99% made from actual lychee. Duck noodle soup hasnt started eating yet, but its very hot so must be cooked upon order. The soup smells nicely flavoured. The cashier served with a smile, albeit needing me to repeat my order once. The waiter gave me a half bow after serving my food. The only downside is the air-con not being very strong. I made this review especially for the lychee drink.
The noodles salad is tasty, and a perfect option for boiling hot weather. However, the noodles soup(pho) was slightly modified, its favor lost some sour taste. That leads it to taste a little bit greasy. Overall, its still recommended. Food
A restaurant serving delicious and generous food run by pleasant and friendly people like Happy Virus!
Not recommended to eat here
Yummy banh mi and iced coffee. Lovely staff and owners
Back from Vietnam a few months ago. The beef pho and crispy pork belly Banh Mi were absolutely delicious. So good to have Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk again.
Great food and very affordable for the quantity you get. Biggest Bahn Mi I ve had since visiting Vietnam. All the staff were very happy and helpful!
All-round delicious food on the whole menu! Im so glad this place opened in West End! Authentic food made with love by Viet mammas at very affordable prices. The pork belly is so good!
Ordered my food and sat outside . The restaurant was busy but service was efficient and timely. Ordered the Vegan pho. Absolutely delicious. Good selection of condiments on table (check for vegan suitability). Chef brought out the food for me and was very nice and i could tell the place is run with heart and care. Will be back to try other options. highly recommended. Good price! Vegetarian options: vegan and vegey options. Kid-friendliness: yes family friendly Wheelchair accessibility: can sit outside and arrange a table, inside is a little more cramped for moving around a wheelchairchair
Best vietnamese food Ive had outside of Vietnam. Service is excellent, table condiments are also great. Get a free ego boost every time the owner calls me darling
so far the best bahn mi ive had in brisbane in terms of taste, cost and chance of returning. super crispy bahn mi bun packed with veggies and chicken just for $10 beef pho was also super refreshing and delish. dish was not too oily so it was easy on the stomach after the whole meal
Had the banh mi xiu mai (meatballs) and a Viet iced coffee. Both very good and service very kind. One of the more authentic Vietnamese restaurants in Brisbane.
Fresh clean food, great service Well priced- highly recommend Food
Delicious food, big menu, well priced, clean and friendly environment.
Great food and atmosphere
Amazing food , great price and fast service!
We had a great dining experience last night. All the foods are delicious and authentic. You must try: coconut coffee! The staff and owners are friendly and provide quick service highly recommended for Vietnamese food to try in West End. We will return!
Delicious, clean & healthy food. That Pho soup was delicious, rich beef broth flavour without the msg taste. Wide selection of Authentic Vietnamese dishes & well priced, we ll definitely come back for more.
We have already eaten from here 3 times and they just opened. The staff is so lovely and the meats are amazing. I have been looking forever for pork, prawn and quail egg Pho and they serve it so well
Yummy food, very fresh salad. Love it. Be back again with friends.
Excellent banh mi! Got lemongrass chicken w chilli , highly recommended! Authentic and well made with fresh ingredients. Friendly staff too
Love the noodle soups!! Great open kitchen where I know the food is handled clean, can tell that a lot of effort is put into everything.
No need to descripe, looke at my bowl after 5 mins and u gonna understand how good it is Sr about the pic but its real
Very nice food,i will comeback
Amazing Vietnamese food, great price, and prompt service!
They are only new but they are already doing really well and are becoming one of my go-to places. The food is awesome and the value for money is really good. Seems family-run as well, which is always nice.
What a gem of a place!
good food, recommend
Partner and I just had noodle soup each it was delicious menu looks good it s a must try
Very good soup and service
Best Bahn Mi I ve had in Brisbane by far, absolutely delicious and high quality. Affordable prices, lovely customer service. Will come back here soon.
Great new Vietnamese in West End. Open a little later than most.
Some of the freshest, most flavourful food I ve eaten.
The best and freshest food in West End. My go to place for a quick and easy meals. Good portion, good service, and great prices. Im so glad for this restaurant!
Fantastic soup and very nice service!
We really enjoyed our beef Vietnamese noodle salads here. Service was polite & timely. They ve indoor & outdoor seating. We chose outdoor & it was just back from the road, private & quiet. Would return.
I love it!!Best Vietnamese food in BNE! You can see from the picture how much I love their Vietnamese beef rice noodles!
Ive eaten here once a week since they opened and more often if I can. The food here is some of the best Vietnamese Ive had outside of Vietnam, and the atmosphere feels like it is meant to - family run, everything available for a good meal and not too busy but not too quiet. Great for lunch or dinner, I would definitely recommend crispy chicken (with rice or noodle soup) and any of the house-made drinks.
Best pho place. Definitely come here again :) They even sell pork crackling skin Food
This place is great Vietnamese! Atmosphere is chill & cool but the staff is also really friendly!
Living locally this is one of my favourite places for a quick snack and fresh meal in a fast time with lovely service. All there meat and salad is always so fresh and full of flavour. There salad dressing is delicious and the rice paper rolls are the largest I have ever had, they are such good value for money!! I love getting a roast pork banh mi and just when I thought they couldn t get better they have recently made them larger in size. I love the fact crackling is cut up and put in the bun with the meat, it also adds such a nice flavour and crunch when in a salad so I definitely recommend getting a roast pork salad or banh mi! If you re a fan of Vietnamese food I definitely recommend checking this place out!
Omg! Love the service! They are sooooooooo attention to details!!!! I m pregnant n can t have raw beef, they even cook the bean sprouts for me!!! Will definitely come back!!!!!! The cashier lady is so friendly and helpful!!!!!!
Delicious Vietnamese food. Bread is unbelievably crunchy
Family enjoyed 4 x rice paper rolls and then chicken noodle soup, pork and prawn and lemongrass chicken and rice Very tasty Great value for money Very filling A must try Thank you
Probably the best place in the area for an affordable meal thats healthy and tasty. One of my favourite eateries in Brisbane
Sooooo good.
Food was fantastic, pho was outstanding, the banh mi was tasty and rice paper rolls filling. Highly recommend all the food, will be back again!
Delicious fresh honest food and service. Authentic feel, very accommodating. Prices very reasonable.
Delicious food, sizeable portions, good value for money. Friendly and swift service. Satisfying. Parking: Street parking available nearby on Boundary St. Kid-friendliness: High chairs available.
I don t know what was the microwave for, I hope it is not for my chicken Satay. The chicken is still cold, and a bit chewy in some parts. The noodle soup is fine. At least, it was not salty. The texture of the rice noodles is perfect, not too soft or hard. They said there supposed to have raw beef, unluckily I didn t see any
They have a vegan menu and its all delicious. 100% recommend the Pho. The broth is so good!! Huge portion sizes and the owners are so lovely. Vegetarian options: Veg and Vegan options.
My go to asian food place in West End 10/10 food!
Very quick & polite service. The meals were cooked & served quite quickly. The food was very fresh. The portions are large & delicious. Would highly recommend a visit.
Crispy pork noodle salad was amazing. Also ordered lemongrass chicken rice paper roll. Love how moist and thin the wrapping is, they used good quality vermicelli too. Will come back again!!
Just had a delightful dining experience at Westend Vietnamese Foods. The pho was aromatic and flavourful. Also tried the banh mis and they were delicious. Service was friendly and prompt. If youre craving authentic Vietnamese cuisine, this gem wont disappoint!
