Sate was generous and we shared a serve. Sauce was good but a bit sparse. The clay pot rice was a real surprise and excellent. The sesame duck was ok. I missed the point somewhere with the duck but overall the food was good. The waiter tried a bit too hard. He gave us the menu and then immediately asked what entree we wanted. Still he was ok when I suggested that we needed a moment. The wine list was good but I'd like to see more local offerings. The locals seem to like this place.

We did not have a booking (Booking Recommended) but managed to get a table. The extensive menu offers a good range of Vietnamese food as well as other choices. After narrowing down our choices we had rice paper rolls, Pho Noodle soup, Spicy Calamari and Chicken Coleslaw. The food was amazing and full of flavour the service was quick and efficient. We had and enjoyable meal and will return.

The menu, while large, mostly consisted of standard Chinese dishes with a few pretending to be Vietnamese. The restaurant had a modern interior and a good wine selection. The prices were slightly high for the quality of the food. The staff provided excellent service and the food was served quickly, although it was a quiet night. Overall, it's a decent option for Asian food in a small town, as long as you're not expecting authentic Vietnamese cuisine. If you're in the area and craving Chinese or Asian food, this restaurant could be worth a visit.

Dining with my parents and my son, we each ordered an appetizer and shared three main dishes. The quality of the food was exceptional.
