Delicious!!!

Gorgeous food in a casual and friendly setting with a whole separate vegan menu and specials. The betel leaf vegan beef noodles are exquisite, as is the version with lemongrass veef. Also loved the chops and vg egg on rice and the vg duck pancakes. Very highly recommended.

Amazing vegan chicken Bahn Mi

The vegan chicken is tasty, crunchy and satisfying. I have also had the ‘pulled pork jackfruit’ which was terrible though, so choose wisely!

Aweful

This was like a bad dinner I would cook at home when I had never tasted Vietnamese food and thought pho soup meant “phobia of soup”.

No flavour and no refund

I hate being a Karen but this experience was terrible. We were so excited to try this place and unfortunately we were very disappointed. We ordered the vegan pulled pork Bahn mi, there was no vegan pulled pork on there at all just a couple of shreds of jackfruit and absolutely no flavour. The vegan curry was the same. So tasteless and hardly and ingredients, like a bowl of salty water. So disappointed as we planned to get nonnas nightmare and opted for this instead 😭 we thought there may have been a supply issues due to it being a public holiday so we let the company know we were unhappy with the food and showed them a video of the sloppy bowl of water. We were told we were wrong and they refused a refund!

Cons: No flavour , Refuses refunds for customers

Great Vietnamese food

The food was fresh and tasty. Bahn mi was delicious, satay chicken rice was nice, rice paper rolls are crisp and tasty and the fish sticks was ok not overly fishy but good.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Bahn Mi ❤️, Fast service

Cons: Parking , Limited seating

breakfast banh mi

Love that they open early enough that you can grab a banh mi and coconut coffee for breakfast, which is what I did on the way to the airport. From their generous menu of vegan options, I chose the satay chicken. The “chicken” chunks were crisp on the outside, chewy and juicy inside. The satay sauce was creamy with a pretty mild flavour that was balanced by hot chilli, pickled carrot, soy sauce - the overall combo had a salt and vinegar vibe. Fresh, soft and crunchy baguette! The vegan coconut coffee was served over crushed ice with desiccated coconut, maybe vegan sweetened condensed milk - it was definitely a little sugary. A pretty decadent and refreshing way to drink strong Vietnamese coffee. They were a bit reluctant to use my reusable cup because it was smaller than theirs but they came around. Quick, tasty food and good value for money.

The perfect vegan Bahn mi

Very tasty vegan crispy chicken Bahn mi! The bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, to top it off they have a range of delicious fresh juices to pick from or build your own, in total for food and drink you won't spend more than 20 bucks, definitely worth checking out, I'm excited to try out their noodle and curry based vegan options soon😄

Pros: Heaps of vegan options, Friendly staff, Independent and locally owned

Major yums

Have tried a few different banh mi, rice paper rolls, and juices and absolutely everything tasted great. Really good prices, including a $13 lunch deal. Perfect quick lunch or snack spot!
