    We went on Easter Sunday and expected a big crowd but not. We went late in the evening and it was pretty quiet. The waiters were nice and welcoming giving some hints on what was going to be served. Food was delivered quickly and portions (we went for noodle soups) were generous. Only downside was the optional service charge which was well over 10%!! - not sure if it goes to the staff as tips

    I had hot &spicy king prawn soup, which I thought was quite mild but chilli oil and all was great extremely fresh vegetables and a great flavour, my friend had the fish curry and cleaned her plate my other friend had vermicelli and she felt it was a little bland and had curry envy. It was a busy place and you would feel comfortable going alone which I always take as a good sign. The juices were lovely and my friend could get a fork instead of the chopsticks so was happy. The food is reasonably priced and filling

    My first experience of eating Vietnamese food was anticipating. The venue was clean but I did not really enjoy the fried noodles it was too soft and watery apart from the chicken pieces and vegetable, which was crunchy. Overall, food was 4/10. The cocktail was a bit bitter at first but become fruity and tasteful. 6/10.
