    Been here a few times. Food is generally OK. Had an unfortunate experience and won't be returning. Ordered chicken satey and we got chicken pad thai, fine, mistakes happen.. except it came with 1.5 prawns and a hair. 1.5 prawns seems like a mistake (would have been less concerned if there was 5 prawns). Called to give them feedback and was not offered any resolution other than we ordered the wrong thing our mistake and no apology for the hair..

    Really nice Pho, the Pad Thai was nice but a bit strange having prawns in a beef dish, had better.

    The Pho here was just like in Vietnam. This special place took us back to our months holiday earlier this year. Thank you

  • 5/5 Aaron S. 1 year ago on Google
    By far the best spring rolls in the Wellington region! The spicy beef and special noodles are excellent as well and portions are generous. Been here countless times and it never disappoints!

  • 5/5 Matt I. 1 year ago on Google
    Owners are very good. Food is excellent too. Always yummy. Their Pho is bang on 👍

  • 5/5 Divine C. 1 year ago on Google
    Soo good, literally the best Pho I'm wellington! Always packed so you know it's good. No room for a pram tho, quite small inside.

  • 5/5 DhamakedaR 1 year ago on Google
    Loved it! The staff & food was great. Must visit.

  • 5/5 Tracey J. 1 year ago on Google
    Fresh ingredients and watching other guest's plates will make me order that, or that one, or my delicious chicken curry again. Friendly service too. Definitely returning.

  • 4/5 Akio S. 4 years ago on Google
    This is my second lunch visit. I enjoyed their Pho the first time so went back for a second round. Still a great Pho! My only want would be for some coriander to stick on top. Personal preference though. Only $14 I will be back for another round in a few weeks.

    Best Vietnamese food in town, I had $14 lunch special it was so yummy. I would give it five stars if the restaurant was warmer and more cosy

  • 5/5 Sheree 1 year ago on Google
    The food was fantastic and foot traffic very busy. We had noodles and curry. It was nicely spiced and not too hot. Flavours worked well and noodles cooked just right. Meat was cooked just nice and tender. Can't wait to come again! Great thing is BYO.

  • 5/5 Christine G. 1 year ago on Google
    Staying in Petone for 2 nights and took a walk down Jackson Street. Wow !! Every cuisine you can imagine. We decided on Vietnamese and were not disappointed. Absolutely delicious, if you have never had Vietnamese cuisine before, this is a MUST. Thank you so much ! We had the prawn rice paper rolls with satay sauce, dumplings, Chicken Salad and mine was the spring roll and pork salad with vermicelli. Lord have mercy !!!

  • 3/5 Julia C. 4 months ago on Google
    Quality of food was below average, and definitely not authentic. Everything was very bland, menu is obviously catered for the kiwi taste bud. The chicken salad was smothered in mayonnaise?! Very strange. Good price point though. Also BYO!

  • 5/5 Samitha A. 4 months ago on Google
    Good food,really large portions.

  • 5/5 Claudia Y. 7 months ago on Google

    Absolutely delicious and fresh Clean tasting authentic food.

  • 5/5 Mark H. 3 years ago on Google
    Always good value. Almost always great food. Only once in fifty visits have I been disappointed with the pho. Has also been a good place to take young kids and teens because they've always made things to suit the pickiest tastebuds. The proprietor is friendly and she has made us feel welcome every time.

  • 5/5 Callum L. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Luca van G. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice food and reasonable service. However, had to ask the waitress for a few things that she could've picked up on herself, like water etc. But nice restaurant none the less.

  • 4/5 John W. 5 years ago on Google
    Great little Vietnamese place. Really enjoyed the food. Service was good and the place is nice and clean. I liked that you had a choice of filling in the summer rolls for those that don't like shrimp. They have a lunch time special too.

  • 4/5 Peter C. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent food at a reasonable price. It is a plain cafe but well worth the visit

  • 1/5 ngarue r. 3 years ago on Google
    Ordered a beef noodle soup online and noted to remove the coriander. Got home to find that it had coriander in it and I was unable to eat it.

  • 4/5 Pipan9 (. 3 years ago on Google
    I would expect much from chicken noodles. Second meal we tried was amazing and felt like its from somewhere else. Note: i think on noodles was for finishing used sweet chilli souce, - i would rather put that bootlle on costumer table as some people not expect to have that on meal.

  • 5/5 Nicki W. 3 years ago on Google
    I was after a non-creamy noodle soup as eating a few laksa's in the past few days. They made me a clear broth vegetarian noodle, tofu & vege soup with a fresh side salad to add in - nourishing & filling.

  • 4/5 Mark A. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was great, and good value, could do with a larger drinks menu and a reno maybe?

  • 4/5 Alysha A. 3 years ago on Google

    We had a great meal here on 10 July 2020; service was good, food was excellent and we will certainly be going back again

  • 1/5 Barry B. 3 years ago on Google
    Not bad meal but it was served on a stone cold plate and by the time my meal got to the table it was already cold. So if you want a cold meal then this is the very place to go to

  • 4/5 Krystal A. 3 years ago on Google

👍👍 Had brunch here recently. Went before the lunch rush (and glad we did because there was a really long line as we walked out) but it was still pretty busy.

👍 It's a very good and authentic Indian restaurant. I can recommend the Pepper Chicken Gravy and Kerala Fish Curry. Both delicious and not what you'll usually find in New Zealand. They cook all meals fresh, so it can take 30 minutes for food to come. Enjoy
