Food was good but service was a little slow and awkward. Would recommend it generally. Wine list a little small and no byo is allowed.

Great atmosphere delicious food. Staff were lovely. The coconut lime margarita was deliciously good. 2 of us shared a starter and 2 mains which was enough to feel satisfied. Will visit again soon.

Food not bad. Not much customer’s service. Main meals arrived before starters. Say no more. Failed the basics. Desserts quite nice. Wifey’s favourite. Not coming back anytime soon.

Loved this place, cool aesthetic. Delicious food and great flavours - we over ordered with one dish too many! Would prefer a little less deep frying - example - the fish in the snapper salad could have been steamed but was battered and deep fried.

The food was really uninteresting - no pickled carrots with chicken, very few vegetables and herbs altogether...not at all fresh or zingy as food in Vietnam is. Service was very lack lustre and it was difficult to get the waiters attention. disappointing visit - would not return.

The restaurant has lovely ambience and delicious vietnamese food. It is better to book online as the restaurant is often crowded. The service could be improved.

Consistently fresh, superb quality food. Really delicious and well-priced. Service is professional and friendly. The Shaken Beef is so addictive, as are their desserts. Why go anywhere else????

Environment was cute (and very millennial). Service was generally prompt and attentive. Food was lovely - standouts were the crispy and fluffy banh mi bread and bo bia ngot

It has great food, service and friendly people. And it's heaven for people with coeliacs - nearly everything on the menu is gluten free. Soft shell crab is my favourite.

Great food, very fresh, authentic. The menu offers a wide range of dishes from quite spicy to not spicy at all. The booth style seating is lovely too, you are in your own world quite separated from other diners. Very friendly staff.

We really enjoyed it. It is a great place, with delicious food. Don't miss the eggplant starter but I don't think you could go wrong ordering anything on the menu.

Parking is non-existent, so you'll need to have one person run in to get it while the other drives around the block, but it's worth the hassle, so i always pass by this place and everyone i ask say its "just okay" so it was place i always wanted to eat but always on the back burner. So i finally went it and was immediately greeted with a genuine hello and was helped promptly. Our gang had a great time with super-fresh food that tasted organic, place was clean and they served up the treats real quick with a smile!

Pleasant atmosphere with great decor. Unfortunately my friend had to wait 15 minutes for her drink after I had already been given mine and I had to wait another 10-15 minutes for my meal after my friend had received hers (my meal arrived 40 minutes after we'd ordered). The food was underwhelming, I had ordered caramelised pork belly and received what looked like braised pork, whilst my friends sugarcane prawns looked and tasted like chicken. Was disappointing as it is a good atmosphere

The food is excellent... The service is fine but some of the waiters sometimes look frustrated when serving you. You can't ask too much from them. Overall it is still a great place to go!

Great, innovative Vietnamese food. Sales are light and tasty, betel leaf beef is especially good. Generous servings. Even the deserts are unusual and very nice And not expensive.

Service was excellent. Friendly staff but did not feel like Vietnamese ambience. Food was ok. Could have larger servings. Menu was limited. Easy to find in Danks St area.

Uninspiring food in a clean and simple restaurant. The glass fronted kitchen let's you watch while your food is being prepared. The food lacked a lot of flavour which surprised us. We ordered a duck salad which had a rather bland and watery dressing. Our rare beef salad didn't have a lot of meat and the rice paper rolls lacked flavour. The rolls were incredibly large and seemed to be filled mainly with Vermicelli noodles. Smaller rolls with less noodles and more filling would had improved our rating.

Excellent service and range of food! Decor is also exceptional. We had the pork/prawn salad, lemon grass beef rolls, combination pho and the clay pot ling. Good amount of food between two people. Refined flavours, only slightly more expensive than places like cabramatta but much more convenient location and better overall food experience.

45 minutes for our all of our drinks to arrive, 50 minutes for our food to arrive. Then attempted to overcharge us. Will not be coming back.

So9 is one of my favorite modern Vietnamese restaurants in Sydney. The food is great with a good variety on offer yet not overwhelming. I had the pork belly which is sweet and juicy. A generous serve of tender pork belly with boiled egg, rice and salad.

Fantastic food in a great atmosphere. A modern take on Vietnamese food without losing any authenticity. Service was great and it was very kid friendly which was a huge plus. I've been previously for a girls night out too and it was just as great.
