Been here a few times now. WE LOVE IT!

Fried Rice with Beef and Stir Fry Diced Beef were amazing. (9/10)
Salmon Sashimi was amazing (8/10)
Satay chicken skewers were good but not great. (7/10)

Would highly recommend booking a table. The ambience, service and food is amazing and the feed me menu price is really good.

Eh. Okay food, good service, sort of overpriced for what you get though. Waiter told me the 'thing to do' with he deep friend spring rolls was to wrap them in the lettuce leaves in the side salad. Tiny spring rolls. Saw someone order them later, came with no lettuce, bigger spring rolls.

Good cocktails though

A great restaurant with an atmosphere to match. From the start the staff were great and the service was fast.

We started with the satay chicken and rice-paper rolls and they did not disapoint. With a hint of spice, the flavours were on point and slightly unique.

The mains of pork belly served with apple slaw and the pad-thai style noodles were the perfect amount of food. The pork belly was juicy and crispy, the noodles had just enough spice to feel but no overpower the meal. A side of coconut rice tied everything together and topped up the stomach.

Theme based cocktails at an affordable price for the city.

Expect to pay around $100 - $150 depending on your appetite and drinks. Overall a great experience and well worth it.

Absolutely impeccable. First time dining here, and could not recommend more. The food was fantastic, the staff were amazing, and the cocktails were outta this world. Will definitely be back.

Pretty stoked with their takeaway set up they have going. We ordered the 'Beats 'n' Eats' for two and it was more than enough to line the stomach for the night. The takeaway package in catering boxes made it all the more enticing, not to mention their QR Code spotify playlist that pumped us up for the 4.9km drive home. Will be back for sure, hope the legends at Straight Outta Saigon are getting some lockdown traction, cannot wait to beer and dine there when we open up!

服务很好,便宜大碗,炒饭非常非常非常好吃,绝对满分的炒饭,粒粒分明,炒得干香不油,还加了锅巴碎,口感非常好

Very nice service, great volume for money. Excellent and professional fried rice! You can't miss it if you love rice! I can go there again and again, only for the fried rice (I hope it has quality guarantee).

We visited here a couple of weeks back and the food didn't disappoint at all, quite the opposite.
We opted for the $32.50 per person for two smaller, two larger and one side. This was ample food for 2 people. The bao buns were excellent, the soft shell crab with kimchi was delicious and everything I was hoping for. The barramundi was delicious with perfectly cooked fish and the pork and chinese brocolli really hit the mark. We opted for coconut rice on the side, it was interesting that the coconut rice seemed to be plain rice with coconut cream on top. We quite liked this and have since done this at home.
The staff were fantastic, we even left a scarf there, one of the staff came out on the street and flagged us down to return it.
We will definitely return!

Had a great dinner here, $65 couple deal is great value and more then enough food. The food and cocktails were delicious.

One of the most unique and modern Vietnamese cuisine we have seen thus far.

We tried quite a few starters and whilst the betal leaf beef skewers was on the dry side, our favourite was the Szechuan Lamb skewers. Their softshell crab and chicken bao was good too, but the meat in pork belly bao was a bit over.

We didn't have any room for mains, but we ordered Oreo Bao and Mango sago for desserts. The Oreo Bao was very delicious.

Friendly staff and quick service is a plus.

Overall, it was a good experience.

Great food. Crispy pork rice paper roll was amazing. Hot pork, cold noodles and salad rolled in rice paper. Beautiful combination.

This place is such a hidden gem! The food is absolutely amazing and so is the service. The $65 per pair deal is the perfect amount of food as well - Thank you for such a great experience! We will absolutely be back and I can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

Excellent experience - we got the $65 shared two person option and it was great value for money for the quality and size of portions.
Service at the table and from the kitchen was impressively fast! The staff were excellent, really attentive but not intrusive and gave us some great recommendations off the menu.
The cocktails were another highlight!

First dinner out of the lockdown & was kinda disappointed.
Firstly, I must say the cocktails were delicious! Great bar tender and the best spicy margarita ever.
Staff were all friendly.
However, the customer service around the food was lacking.
We ordered entrees and told the waiter we would start with that & order mains later. An hour had passed and when we went to order mains we were told the kitchen was closed…. Not one waiter gave us the heads up that the kitchen was closing or did we want to order more? So we had travelled to the city for a dinner of 3 entrees.

Great modern Vietnamese food, customer service was on point and drinks/food were aesthetically appealing and flavourful. We opted for the “Get Dishy Wit It” for two package which was priced well. Check it out.

Sensational food, cool little spot and friendly staff. Popped in for the traditional pho, stayed for the grilled scallops and crispy pork bao. All the meNU items we ordered were so tasty and portions generous. Definitely on the Melbourne radar for future visits

Great place and great food.
The staff was friendly, the restaurant has vibrant atmosphere. I was greatly surprised with the amazing taste of the vegan dishes (vegan duck, etc.). It's difficult to find a non-vegan place that offer high quality vegan food!
