    Beautiful and exquisite small restaurant, when there are many customers, the service staff will appear a little less, but you can still feel their enthusiasm and good vibration frequency. The food is delicious and the desserts are special. I will come again.

    Nice nice nice 👍 Was invited to this lovely place by a friend for a catch up dinner, we had very good time there. Beautiful tasty food with decent portion and thanks to our lovely waitress so that we chose the perfect wine for our dishes. Didn't get her name but she was from Italy. Thank you for your service and patience. Will definitely go back for another occasion.

    Walked in without booking because it looked empty. The man at the bar took a while to acknowledge that we were there waiting for a table. He took us to our table and never came back to check on us. Another man eventually took our order after a very long wait. The menu looked nice on paper and it excited us to try the dishes we ordered. Sadly, all the dishes we ordered were just ok, which was disappointing because we expected to be going 'WOW WOW' and that didn't happen. We also didn't think the high prices matched the dishes we got. A modern fusion Vietnamese restaurant that has lots of potential but it didn't work for us. This place is more for couples and friends, not suited for families with young children. Their staff were a mixed bunch, some were grumpy and others were super friendly.

    This was my third time at Le Virtnamese Kitchen and I was just as wowed by the taste as I was the first visit. The food is fresh and tangy. The service was prompt and courteous. My table of 5 all loved the sharing plates. The vegan amongst us was very pleased by the choices. Highly recommend this restaurant at an excellent price point. The set menu of at least 8 dishes at $55 per person was great value. We will be back.

    The food was tasty, especially the crispy duck. A good selection of food on the menu. The service felt a little cold but served its purpose.

    I love Le Vietnamese Kitchen, gorgeous food, great cocktails and wonderful service. Every dish taste immaculate. I'm hungry just thinking about the meal I had last night. I come every year for my birthday and it's always so wonderful.

    The food was delicious, particularly the lemongrass chicken! However I did have a concern about the fish bowl on the bar. It’s very beautifully put together as a mini ecosystem, but there was a singular male guppy living in there with no filtration, heater, friends or space! Fish aren’t part of the furniture, they’re living just like we are & it made me sad enough to write this review. I hope you improve the living conditions for this guy as the bowl couldn’t be more than a few litres, with half of it filled with substrate. The plant bowl is gorgeous enough on its own, so please consider rehoming

    Was walking around Ponsonby looking for something to eat. Saw this place and decided to give it a try. Was going through the review and saw that the masaamun beef cheek curry and the duck fried rice was good so ordered that. The dishes here aren't cheap, with 2 dishes and a rice for $4 costing over $70 for lunch. However though, the massamun beef cheek curry melts in the mouth and very good taste with rice. The fried rice was full of flavour too and cooked perfectly paired with a fried egg on top. So the quality is good here, but probably for an occasional treat and not a every weekend thing.

    What a fantastic courtyard out the back they have, its like being in garden Oasis overseas.. now the food is really flavoursome and great portion sizes I definitely visit the place many times.

    Went for a quick dinner but the food was delicious! Portions are large and serviced by really friendly staff! Small and cozy place.. highly recommend!

    Food was really tasty.. staff was good, atmosphere was quite authentic vietnamese way but the toilets were dirty and full of mosquitoes and heaps of flying insects .. really bad . I bought it to the attention of the management who sprayed something but that did not fix the issue. They apologised and said they are having an ongoing issue and don't know how to fix it..

    A very nice small resto, food are great, service are great. Massaman Beef Curry is a must try, very soft meat and very tasty!

    Customer service was awesome. The American guy was so polite, friendly and gave us hints on some delicious dishes. I'm happy they had a few Vegan options. We got dumplings, summer rolls, black rice dessert and the sago. All 4 were delicious and presented beautifully. Thanks for and awesome dining experience.

    Great tasting food and good portions! However, it was too busy and the waiters didn't have time to take our dessert order. We waited 20 minutes after we finished our main meal, but despite trying to grab their attention, they were too busy to hear or see us. So we just left without getting to try their dessert menu.

    Bit pricey but worth it as food is excellent. Happy to handle allergies and special requests. Good atmosphere and not too packed when we went on a Wednesday. Pork belly is highly recommended
