Living in Canberra Ed like to eat out. We take friends and family when they visit. Great atmosphere. Great food.

Tables are placed very close together so not good for intimate dining - more of a cheap and cheerful place. The menu is varied and interesting and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantities.

There is a temptation to think of Green Square, Civic and Manuka as the main places to eat - but five minutes away from Manuka in a suburban strip of shops this modest, simple, seemingly typically Vietnamese/Chinese restaurant.

If you like the freshness, fragrance, simplicity and plain deliciousness of vietnamese food, this isn't the place for you. Food is more hybrid Chinese (mainly stirfries, no pho) with that generic overly-sweet flavour and baking soda'd meat. Really disappointing, coupled with distracted, bordering on cold, service.

Don't bother with the menu, just get them to bring out their specials. That way you can try some things you don't usually. Delicious food, good service.
