Always crowded at lunch time but they are very organized and you will get your order very quick. My fav is the chargrilled pork with the rice, the flavors remind me the ones I have in Asia, I was less fan of the pho but i def recommend the place.

The best beef pho in the area. I recommend to add fresh chilli which is free of charge and that makes the taste of soup deeper. Bun cha with pork was one of my favourite summer specials as well!

So good! Even better than in Hong Kong where I'm from. The portions are huge. My bun hue not overly spicy or salty, the brother is light yet flavorful, and the spring rolls are massive and stay crunchy even after almost an hour. Very authentic, a lot of staff ensuring speedy service, and no credit card for amounts under 15. I'm stuffed!

This is one of my favourite places to have lunch on my work break. The service is friendly and smiley and the food comes very quickly! They have a large range of dishes from summer rolls to Bahn mi. I have never been able to get a Bahn mi because they always sell out and my break is after 3 so come early to avoid disappointment. It is cash only so have that in mind when you go.

Excellent Banh Mi - Vietnamese style pork, pickles, coriander, chili in a baguette - soft on the inside, crispy on the outside. Yummy! Quick and friendly service.

It is my go to place when I crave for a bowl of noodle. Always a queue but very swift service. I have never tried anything else but a bowl of beef noodle with extra spicy soup. My colleagues love their sandwiches and bbq bowls and spring rolls as well.
