As it is small the dishes come out very fast so this needs...management. Good staff who agree to every thing so get the prder right and double check. Not flash but sound.

It is not decorated...in the over-elaborate chinese palace style but a clean suburban look. Look at the dish specials posted on the walls. When mud crabs are in season try the mud crab dishes, my preference is mud crab in ginger sauce which is eaten with the hands. It is a messy gastronomic experience to be enjoyed. It is BYO for those who like a wine with their meals.

Opposite the station is Cam Ranh. Upon entering the restaurant you are greeted by friendly and happy wait staff. The...restaurant is usually very busy with outside seating in the summer. The decor is basic oriental as are fittings. The menu is large. Food is served very quickly and usually comes all at once ie entree mains together. Food is authentic Chinese/Vietnamese and delicious. Very good value. Definitely worth a visit.

This new place could definitely use some improvements in terms of cleanliness and customer service. It seems like the staff is lacking energy. My duck noodle soup was delicious, but my friend's dish was just okay. If they clean up and improve their service, this restaurant could really thrive.

Darra, located across the river from the suburb of Jindalee, is home to a variety of authentic Vietnamese and Chinese restaurants. While not fancy, these eateries offer delicious meals at affordable prices. One restaurant, formerly known as My Frens, has now been rebranded as Cam Ranh. The new owner has created a more relaxed atmosphere for diners to enjoy their meals. Despite being in a Vietnamese restaurant, we found ourselves ordering Chinese dishes out of habit. However, this time we opted for the vermicelli meals and were pleasantly surprised. Each dish was flavorful and filling, leaving us satisfied. We enjoyed our meal with red wine, forgoing the unique coconut milk and mung bean-based drinks on offer. The area surrounding Darra is safe and accessible, with a train station nearby offering frequent services. Overall, Darra is a great spot for those looking to explore multicultural cuisine in Brisbane.
