Description

This Vietnamese restaurant offers decent quality banh mi at great value, with fresh baguettes and tasty steamed buns. The atmosphere is quirky and the seating is always available. While some minor issues like dirty tables and lack of Vietnamese beer are present, the overall experience is enjoyable. The special lunch offer with king prawn in tomato sauce is highly recommended. The staff is friendly and the bubble tea is a highlight. If you're a fan of bubble tea, this spot is definitely worth checking out for a quick and tasty meal.

The bánh mì at this restaurant is of good quality, but not excellent. The baguettes are very fresh, but they are not heated and not hollowed out in the traditional bánh mì style, which limits the amount of meat that can be added. The steamed rolls are really good and a great value. This place is a useful spot for a quick meal. Make sure to ask for the Zomato price design as it has been addressed for this establishment.

Decent quality Banh Mi but not outstanding.  Very good value, though. The baguettes are very fresh, but not warmed and not hollowed out according to traditional banh mi construction.  This means that the amount of meat that can be held in the baguette is limited.  The steamed buns are really good and great value. A useful address for takeaway.  Questions regarding Zomato pricing for this venue have been addressed.

If you enjoy bubble tea, then this is the perfect spot for you. The staff is always friendly and the food is quite good as well. Definitely worth a visit if you happen to be in the area.

I was originally waiting for the bus, but I couldn't resist coming in to try the special lunch offer. The king prawn in tomato sauce was excellent, and it came with either bubble tea or beer for only a few bucks. This deal is great value for the price and definitely worth trying while it's still available.

Healthy, vietnamese version of McDonalds restaurant. Plastic trays, bright colors and quite cold lights inside, but the atmosphere is ok. Food is a great value for money. Really delicious spring rolls, fine baguettes and very nice bubble tea all really cheap. The place is...usually completely empty you have a seat guaranteed and eat in peace and quiet.
