    An interesting Vietnamese restaurant here in Chinatown, reminding me of the "hole-in-the-wall" ones in San Francisco. Food is equally good with friendly Vietnamese staff too. There are some interesting dishes that the local Vietnamese would go for. For me the traditional ones are pho and the summer rolls. The drip coffee is fantastic!

    Tasty and authentic vietnamese food, full of fresh ingredients, herbs and veggies. Food is served hot and fresh. Bahn mi and spring rolls are prepared on the spot. Helpful and friendly staff to serve you - they may not be very fluent in English but they still do their best to understand your needs and questions. 😋👍

    Stumped upon this restaurant during Chinese new year as most of restaurants were close. It is quite small with some outdoor tables (sheltered). Order system is traditional system with real paper menu. Food was good, and reasonable price for its location. However, only cash and PayNow are accounted.

    Authentic Vietnamese food. Probably one of the best Banh Xeo in Singapore. Paper thin with pork and prawns inside. The dipping sauce was fantastic, not too spicy and just a bit sweet. The Bun Rieu was equally impressive, lots of flavours and comes with crab meat patty and steamed pork cakes. Strongly recommend for those looking for authentic Vietnamese food.

    Delicious vietnamese food in Chinatown. Love their pho bo, flavourful. Friendly service. Highly recommended.

    Tasty and authentic Vietnamese. Been here a few times now and is fairly consistent with fresh veg and popular with the Vietnamese community. Typically standard menu. I had the grilled chicken dry noodles portions were ok, quality of chicken fine. Friendly service. Easy meal for 11.90++ (excl. beer obviously…)

    Beef noodles soup was delicious. Soup base is a bit too spicy for standard. If have options for spicy level then will be great

    Really enjoyed the delicious and authentic viet cuisine experience! Really affordable and without GST or service charge, it is located along the quiet streets of Chinatown. Worth a visit! The noodle is really nice and goes well with the soup-sauce. Their condiments tray is packed with iconic chilli paste from Vietnam. Love their spring roll as well! Fast service and a cosy environment, will visit again to try their other authentic dishes

    Very good pho, now I don't have any real experience with pho in Vietnam, but I thought it was delicious. I also tried Bia Saigon, I am assuming that is from Vietnam. It was very smooth and quite refreshing for a hot day here in Chinatown.

  • 5/5 Cuong Nguyen (. 7 months ago on Google • 169 reviews
    Authentic Southern Vietnam cuisine. The signature crepe (banh xeo) is a must-try here. I also recommend their fried tofu vermicelli in shrimp sauce (bun dau mam tom), too.

    A great and authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown. Great menu with wide variety of food and they even have a great selection of vegetarian dishes too. Highly recommend the bbq & fried roll noodle, spicy beef noodle, pancake, and all of their vegetarian dishes 💯🌟

    Stop by to have our lunch by trying out the Vietnamese Food here. The food is nice and tasty but can further improve will be perfect. They have a very nice place with great and beautiful decoration. Will go there again to try other choice of food.

    Simple bahn mi and pho at affordable prices. The best kind of comfort food, not too salty as well!

  • 4/5 Megan N. 11 months ago on Google
    Came here many times with friends since the day they started. So far I'm happy with the food but the service needs to improve.

  • 4/5 Angel T. 1 year ago on Google
    Spotted this next to Chinatown MRT exit, so dropped in for some authentic Bun Thit Nuong cha gio (aka Grilled pork noodles with crispy fried spring rolls)! Do ask for less chilli if you can’t take spicy food, coz the sauce was quite spicy. IG @pingguo301

  • 4/5 Hailey N. 11 months ago on Google
    Crab vermicelli noodles (bun rieu cua) definitely somethings new that worth trying out beside the typical pho.

  • 5/5 Jasmine T. 7 months ago on Google
    The food is good. Good service, atmosphere a bit warm. Cash payment only.

    Love this place; it’s a hidden gem! Flavourful Vietnamese food at a reasonable price. I always get their beef rice noodle. I’ve also tried their pho, crepe, and banh mi. All are delicious 🥰

  • 5/5 Darren R. 1 year ago on Google
    Noteworthy broth, meat was fresh and decently thin sliced! Nice staff, she wasn’t angry when I requested nicely for less noodles and more veggies :) good condiments, and the noodles weren’t overly soggy like most places. Hope they can stay alive with long phong opening just around the corner

    Had to have pho again. All the Chinese restaurants around the vicinity were packed and looked chaotic. This place was neatly tucked away from the hustle and it was a nice getaway. Ordered the pho tai and spicy beef noodle soup. Such great soup. Drank it till the last drop. One waitress there and she was fast and efficient. Don’t know how she does it. Come check this place out if you crave Vietnamese. I can tell you it’s just as good as the pho in Saigon.

    I don’t recall when was the last time I finished all the soup of noodle. With this seafood noodle soup I just couldn’t stop eating until realised I’m too full already. I want to give it ten stars.

    Food was not authentic or fresh enough. Ca phê Việt Nam, obviously not from freshly brewed/ground beans. Flavor was not good. BÚN thịt nướng chả giò(grilled pork, vermicelli and salad/herbs, fried spring roll): pork was dry, not freshly cooked, not glazed and barbecued for good flavor. Nước mắm flavor was very poor (pour over sauce). The Chả giò wá more like a Chinese pastry roll then a Việt vermicelli roll. They didn't ask if the food was good...
