"Clean little shop, ordered the lemongrass chicken Bahn mi, fresh bread crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside, however the marinade was quite sweet and gave more teriyaki vibes than lemon grass."

"I got the Beef Banh Mi alongside a bowl of Beef Pho, both were super flavourful, with the Pho having just the right amount of spice. It is most definitely one of the best bowls of pho you can get in Wellington. The staff were very friendly and welcoming."

"My new favourite little shop. It's probably the best food place in the Hutt valley at the moment. The Banh Mi's are absolutely delish! I've tried every banh mi available in the Hutt and these take the lead by far! The crispy spring rolls are amazing also. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Thanks for sharing your food with us"

"Had the spicy beef noodle soup for takeaway and it was surprisingly incredible. The broth was rich and had the perfect amount of spice. Tender beef, ham and fresh noodles. Will definitely be back!"

"Went in for a Beef Noodle Bowl. The man that served me was very friendly and the menu wasn't overwhelming which can be the case for some Vietnamese restaurants that I've been to in the past. When I had chosen the Beef Noodle Bowl I was given the option of putting chilli in to make it spicy but also instructions on how to mix it all in which was great. The Beef Noodle Bowl was very fresh and probably one of the healthiest meals I've had in quite some time. Really enjoyed my experience and will definitely come back again."
