Service was too slow for business lunch. 2 plus hours for a 2 person banquet too slow.
food was ok every dish was over 80% salad / garnish. Flavours were very same/same. mains took over an hour to arrive.
Really tasty food, nice variety of dishes, had a great time with friends
Great set up and decor. Food was very average. Cocktails were great! Not a true Vietnamese restaurant. It’s a fusion of south east Asia!
Unbelievable food Service A1 This is a serious Viet restaurant Ambience first class
Great find. Delicious food, excellent service. Will be back often
Great atmosphere and the booth seating was probably the pick of the tables. Food was fast and fresh and recommendations from the manager were spot on.
The service was superb as they were extremely helpful and polite. The food was good. my favourite would be the Scallop and prawn clear dumplings and the lotus seed shittake mushroom claypot rice.
Great food and decor! Cocktail selection could be more varied
Great food , great service , very comfortable seating with booth options available. Fun and creative menu . Will come again!
Cons: long wait during lunch, and slightly overpriced. The waiter will tell you everything can be shared but, not sure if that's true. Pros: Delicious taste, good location, and nice venue.
Great mid-town location, and very good food. Will definitely return.
Good food, but at $39 /head for small serves of few dishes, value was not great.
My second visit and great experience again. Service was exceptional and food amazing. Will be back again.
Excellent dining experience with their banquet menu. Very attentive and personal service. Range of interesting and delicious dishes. Great night!!
Delicious Vietnamese food. Went with a work group (about 12 people) and everyone had a positive experience. Will definitely come back to try other things on the menu.
The food was fabulous and the vegan choices delectable. Service very attentive, great ambiance. We’ll be back
The food was amazing! So tasty and unique. Definitely coming back!
Fantastic food, but the service was even better. Antoinette knows her stuff and is the most passionate server I've ever had! But it also helps that all the dishes she recommended were as good as she claimed them to be! Thanks SO Much for an amazing experience,
Excellent food, very modern Vietnamese. Great cocktails, lovely decor and very attentive service.
Really good service and the food was great - especially the dumplings
The service was excellent, food was superb and atmosphere was wonderful; definitely the type of place I would go for a date night. Highlight for me was dessert!
The food and cocktails are wonderful and the service exceptional.
Great service & delicious food! Will definitely come back again!
Great concept, a tip, encourage patrons to stay for a drink and the music like in New York restaurants. Your business was done by 10pm, you could have had 2 hours of drink income. Above all great place, will go back congratulations, Lawrence.
Great place with excellent service and food. Well done team
Fabulous lunch for group of 9. Delicious food and excellent service.
I would definitely eat there again, in a more relaxed way with friends. This time we were in a hurry before seeing a show.
The food was amazing - so fresh & delicious. Staff were so welcoming & great. Definitely going back!
The best Vietnamese restaurant in Sydney, good vibes as well :)
Amazing food, very friendly staff. Will definitely make sure we have longer time to enjoy the dining experience.
Amazing food! Service by Tamara is outstanding, overall one of the best Asian meals.
I thought food was a bit on the expensive side for what we got. Good concept but slightly disappointed with the flavours which didn't quite hit the mark.
Great food with a nice relaxing atmosphere and comfortable dining area
Excellent food, full of flavour, but poor service. The waitress firstly placed half of our party at the wrong table, then our order was lost somehow - we waited over an hour for the second course because they apparently gave our food to the wrong table too. Thereafter, when we finally received our food, we were missing 1 dish that we had ordered, by then we did not want it so we cancelled it. The manager was very apologetic and kindly gave us 2 x complimentary desserts which was very kind of him. We would like to try this restaurant again because the food was delicious and perhaps they were just having an off day when it came to service. A shame to miss the mark on service for such a lovely restaurant in such a great location.
The food is really amazing and service is good as well.
Nice atmosphere with courteous, polite and efficient service. Felt we were rather misled, however, with the entree when, as they arrived in portions of 3 and 5 respectively, our waiter muttered something about "1 more of each" .He returned a little later with 1 more of each with us thinking this must be the normal portions. Instead we wore the cost of these 'extras' on our bill. It simply wasn't made clear we would be paying for these at the time. We would have refused,had we known, as we had already divided the serves equally between us. The food was tasty with the dumplings and tofu panacotta standing out as something different. Truly though, have had similar or better taste experiences at much cheaper Vietnamese resturuants. Good food, but not great value.
The atmosphere and food was amazing but the service needs a bit more work. Our glasses were empty and we had bought a bottle of wine and had to ask for them to be refilled. Just a few teething problems. Will definitely go back just for the food though!!!
Great atmosphere and music. Food was delicious, though quite a limited menu. The cocktails looked yum though sadly I wasn’t drinking.
The restaurant was able to accommodate our large group and the service staff were very friendly and helpful. Everyone in the group really enjoyed the food and I would definitely recommend
