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.

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.

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 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 Bah Mi in Brisbane. Get the Crispy Pork. The lady even helped adjust my drink sweetness levels. The server was cute Food

★★★★★
March 23, 2024

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.

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.

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

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.

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!
