The rice paper rolls were packed full of goodies, so fresh and the vermicelli salad with vege spring rolls was fresh, maybe a little noodle heavy but delicious. The mocktails are so full of flavour.. A great place…

The manager Jeff, could not have been more accommodating if he tried as one of our group required something out of the usual offered. Highly recommend this place. Will need cushions on the metal chairs out in the sun though as they got really hot and a traffic diversion would be great.

They advised me that they had eaten there a couple of times and that they recommended the crab pancake. Interesting name as it came with pork and prawns in it - no crab in sight! Unfortunately I won't be recommending it as it was one of the blandest things I had ever eaten with no taste whatsoever and there were 2 prawns in it and only a few extremely thin slivers of pork and the rest was red onion and bean shoots. I went home feeling very hungry still. My friends however did enjoy what they ate which was a totally different order to mine. It seems this pancake is only available on Sunday and Thursday's for some reason but because it was Monday they said they would make it for me. We sat outside which was very noisy when people scraped their chairs and were opposite the music speaker in the doorway which made it harder to hear our conversation.
