    Food was amazing! Looked and tasted so good. Would opt to share a plate next time as one plate is more than enough for two people. If you’re looking for great tasting meat and crunchy chips and fresh salad this is the place!

    Modern twist on Vietnamese food. Plenty of options, highly recommend the potato prawns for entree. BYO wine. Friendly and attentive wait staff. I can see Local Chook becoming my regular local go to.

    Great food and lovely staff. Such quick service too I only dropped off one star as my laksa was visibly very different to husbands. Mine was rather bland, next to no chilli oil and milky tasting, while his was deeply flavoured with a lovely rich red on top. His was delicious, while mine was just kinda plain. Not sure what happened as no changes requested. The food was fresh and nice though, my laksa was still good, just no where near as good as husbands
