Tried the prawn rice paper rolls ($13.90) not bad, quite tasty very filling so did fall apart I liked it!

We both had Phò, chicken and rare beef, and the tofu. Excellent. Service was efficient and friendly

I can't speak on the atmosphere of this fine establishment, as i entered for only a moment to collect my banh mi, but the food was simply wonderful, and came at a relatively cheap price

Good Vietnamese food, very strict closing, wouldn't serve us even though we could have finished before the kitchen closed

Better than expected Vietnamese restaurant in the heart of Gisborne. The selection on the menu is authentic Vietnamese and there are many choices. The food was fabulous, fresh and full of traditional flavours. Unfortunately we all started the dishes before taking pics. The Pho was delicious as was the flat rice noodle in egg sauce combination. The one thing that let the place down was the service - it was slow and the “kids” serving did not know the difference from a white wine to a red wine. A little training would assist the service levels and their confidence.

I wouldn't say it's fully authentic as they have definitely adapted it for the Australian palate however in all the positive ways. Fresh seafood done perfectly clean well cut veges and extra in most servings. Definitely tasty and has all the fresh herbs spices and tastes you would expect wonderfully delicious. However like most regional areas ATM do be patient with service as they are understaffed when there is an influx of orders
