The food is just fantastic - varied dishes, fresh, authentic food matched with good service. There is a bottle shop in the shopping centre but it closes early so best to take drinks to accompany your meal with you. I will definitely eat at Tu Do again.

The food was crummy, and didn't come close to other small Vietnamese restaurants canberra has to offer (for better prices too). Will not be returning and would not recommend.

The Pho for us is excellent with high quality beef and tasty beef balls. However, quite frankly we are not experienced Pho eaters so can't really compare with many others, but compared to one or two others, this Pho is far better.

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.
