Located at the O’Connor shops, Tu Do was not hard to find and filled with diners. The restaurant was a lot more modern than expected – I loved the dark timber floorboards. It took a few minutes to get some service as there was only one person working the floor. The menu had Vietnamese staples such as pho (starting from $12), bun cha, and com tam, as well as other items more common on a Chinese menu such as satay, sweet and sour, and black bean dishes. I noticed a garlic rice option which I haven’t really seen anywhere else besides Filipino restaurants. I’ve been told that the fried chicken wings were a must-eat so I made sure to order it.

The food is always fresh and flavoursome and priced reasonably. The Pho is light and refreshing and I find them to be very generous with the meat, it's also always very lean! The restaurant tends to be pretty packed most of the time and is fairly squishy.. there also tends to be a screaming kid, so not recommended if you're after an interrupted chat.

Absolutely brilliant pho! I had the rare beef, my sister had the chicken. Light, delicious and hearty all at the same time. We'll be back with friends! read more Absolutely brilliant pho!

Perfect Vietnamese. You can't go wrong with this Canberra institution. Whether you want a steaming bowl of Pho, some peanut beef or, as we discovered last time,... read more Perfect Vietnamese. You can't go wrong with this Canberra institution. Whether you want a steaming bowl of Pho, some peanut beef or, as we discovered last time, the crispy goodness that is their fried, stuffed chicken wings, you can get it all at Tu Do and you won't have to spend much either. Plus service is super speedy. Love it for a quick weeknight catch up with a friend or two rather than a big group but I'm sure it could do both.
