57Wonderful service, relaxed atmosphere and most importantly super delish food! Their WOAP special was great and the cheesecake dessert one of the best I've ever had. We'll definitely be back!
Overpriced for underwhelming Vietnamese street food. Pho was watered down and broth had no flavour.
Service was very good. Ladies were attentive and lovely though.
Best dinner in Wellington! SO good we went back the next night. Delicious fresh flavours. Reasonably priced cocktails. Lovely decor & ambience. We will be back next trip!
Excellent food and service, also very accomodating if you have children, we took our 9 month old and it was no problem at all.
I would eat here every night of the week if I could afford it. The service was impeccable and the food was even better. If I could rate this place higher than 5 stars, I would. If you think drugs are addicting then boy oh boy you gotta come here
2nd time eating there and will go back. Yummy food at good prices. Lighting is soft and pretty too - nice ambiance.
Light, fresh and tasty food. We enjoyed every dish. Cosy and intimate space, great for a dinner for 2 or group of friends. The creme brûlée and churros were delicious!
Great flavours and it was one of my top to go restaurants until the prices increase and the portion size decreased! Not a value for money type of place. I was introduced to another brilliant Thai restaurant, full of flavours, good value for money and just as tasty!
Loved the food, everything was super fresh and flavorsome. Good value. Attentive & friendly staff. Outstanding care with allergies, I have Celiacs and I had no symptoms. Highly recommended.
I would highly recommend this restaurant! My family dined here this evening and the food was absolutely delicious! The staff were friendly and attentive and helpful when changing things on the menu for fussy children! The dumplings were flavourful and completely delicious as was the Lemongrass chicken.
Absolutely one of the best restaurants we have been to.
The food is absolutely delicious and it was so hard to make a choice as to what to order, there were about 6 different dishes I wanted to try and everyone at our table thought the same.
We definitely will be returning and this most definitely will be one of our favourite places to go.
Absolutely 5 stars for food, selection and service
This place is so unassuming x I have lived in Wellington a long time and never knew it excited. The food was phenomenal! The strawberry sweet and sour tofu was so perfect. Atmosphere great, prices great, service great. We will be back!
We had dinner at this restaurant during our recent visit to Wellington. The restaurant was pleasantly decorated. Nice atmosphere. Service was friendly. The food was tasty. If you are in Wellington and would like a taste of Vietnamese, you should not miss this palce. Absolutely amazing! Outstanding food, fantastic service and great value! Our new favourite restaurant!
Went here for lunch today. Staff was very friendly with good service. Ordered crispy spring roll, curry rice noodles and pork salad noodles, we were satisfied with the taste. Although some previous reviews showed the quality of food dropped compared with before, we could feel and taste the restaurant has worked on improving the food based on the previous customers’ reviews. I can see and taste lemongrass on my curry rice noodles)
Only one thing to suggest is the spring roll, it’s advertised as 6 on the menu but it’s actually 3 rolls cut in half. Maybe description can be more precise on the menu to match customer’s expectation.
We like the place and wish the restaurant to keep improving, will definitely come back again.
We went there last week and I can say not only it is not authentic Vietnamese it's very bland food. Was very disappointed and it was a waist of money. Some of the meat in our dishes were microwaved or plain tough. The shrimp dish was burned. My dish was very bland and weird not a Vietnamese dish. The lemongrass chicken had no lemongrass flavor at all. The soup was flavourles had to put a lot of bean past in it: (. Overall do not waist your money here the level of food is very low and expensive!
My Vietnamese fried was with us and agreed that this restaurant has lowered their standards a lot. The Dishes we ate were " Saigon Bang Tam (was bland and the meat tough noodles with a white mayo past: (.), Ca Ri GA (No lemongrass flavor and the noodles has a butter tast), Bang Tom Chien was burned we all tasted it. Fried chicken Bai was poor and under proofed and tasteless everyone agreed. Pho was bland the black past saved it a bit. But still very poor. The coating of the squid almost non existent.
As I said not worth even half of what we spend. Stay away if you really want Vietnamese food or plain good food.
Excellent meal and service. We had the feast for four and every dish was delicious. I also appreciated we were not rushed in any way, even though they were busy.
Friendly and very accommodating staff! Fast service for a Saturday night, food came out hot and tasted amazing - I loved the sweet and sour pork!
I've never tried vietnamnese food before I went to this Restaurant.
My expectations were totally wrong as I thought the vietnamnese cuisine is similar to other asian or thai food: spicy and a lot of curry. Who else thinks the same? It's a actually not. (Yes, I'm European!)
Been there now two times. Can very highly recommend it. I'm obsessed with the vegetarian bowl and the combination how you use herbs and vegetables to combine it into a fresh meal besides that the desserts are also a must to taste. I also give it a try to order other meals next time
see you soon again.
It's okay. We tried the bun cha and it was quite off the authentic. They offer gluten free options, but do not communicate it properly. Instead of spring rolls, I received the summer rolls (because of GF) and no one told me in advance. It's a totally different dish
Beautiful meal and great service, lovely wait staff. The food was divine. Cocktails were delish. Will be back. Thank you
