Zeal Vietnamese Restaurant

Excellent tasty food, generous portions, good service, excellent atmosphere. Will be back again.

It’s very hard to
complain but I hope it will
help the owner improve.
Soup was full of nudlles and vegetables only little. What was shocking- 100% orange juice was fake made from syrup only. When I asked the lady about she said it was fresh with added sugar. Why someone would add sugar to the fresh 100 per of juice and that cost 8 ad
Very disappointing

The Pho was different to others I’ve tried. Has a prominent cinnamon flavour which is nice.

What's the difference between a dish on a Thai or Chinese or Vietnamese restaurant's menu and one listed under Chefs Special? Normally the latter is really good. Outstanding or similar. Not here. It's just the same thing only dearer.
E.g. Duck with lotus flower is just a stir fry duck drowned in soy sauce.

On the up side they cater for special requests like birthday cake byo, their portions are huge and prices reasonable.
The wine and beer menus are quite good too, and yes, the food tasted well.

If you need to go to the loo you'd better wait until after your visit. Below average is all I say.

Great food and lovely service. Brilliant customer experience from the online booking to arrival, seating, table service and the food itself, which was heavenly divine. Well done to all, but especially to the owners and managers who have very clearly put great food and wonderful customer satisfaction at the heart of their business model.
Oh, and don’t bother with BYO, the wine list is excellent.

Tonight's dinner was awful. Prawns were old mushy and inedible. Serves only half filled the container. We have been a fan of this restaurant over the years but will now be looking elsewhere. Disappointing.

Arrived for our table at 8 as booked. Wasn't busy. 40 minutes went by and nobody came to take our order. Customers who had come after us were attended to within minutes. Kind of glad we decided to leave as I was struggling to fnd any authentic Vietnamese dishes, anyway. Chinese, Thai flavours mostly.except for a few salads a n d Vietnamese rolls. Shame.

Fantastic! We were accommodated last minute for a table. It was busy and the staff were working so hard to please everyone. The food was delicious. We’ll definitely be back

Had dinner for eleven people, the restaurant was full and there were only two wait staff. They did a great job under a lot of pressure. The food was great varying from the fried whole barramundi to the roast duck. All meals servings were of generous proportions and cooked perfectly. Will definitely go back.

We had the salt and pepper duck so delicious. I will definitely get this again. We also got the combination rice which was nice and fresh not greasy which complemented the duck well. We got the vegetables with coconut curry sauce, the vegetables were lovely and the sauce was ok. Next time we will try another flavoured sauce. Really enjoyed overall fresh, tasty and some great flavour

Fantastic atmosphere as usual and the food never disappoints. One of the best places for groups and larger families to gather.

We loved the duck dish it was pretty sensational however the $18 for fried rice was pretty ordinary for the price and the starter of calamari was ordinary at best. Where this place let itself down was the service, the young Asian male wearing the mask couldn’t even greet us, when we ordered he stayed completely silent and overall was not friendly or engaging in the slightest. Also toilet area also wasn’t what I call clean at the 6pm before it’s gets busy. Next time I’ll probably just get the duck dish as a takeaway.

Recommend this restaurant lovely people, delicious garlic Prawns & Noodles with Beancurd. Very nice selection of wines as well.

Food & Service was absolutely amazing!
Being local it’s a must! Even worth the drive too!

The food is always yum! Service is quick although don't go there expecting super happy bubbly staff, they a always quite quiet, formal and respectful.

We have enjoyed Zeal since they first opened. Every meal is fresh & so so delicious. Highly recommend!

Just enjoyed our take away meal grilled chicken and green vegi fried rice both gluten free, delicious more than enough to satisfy two hungry adults, they were very busy but still happy to take our walk in order. Looking at how full they were everyone feels the same. We will definitely be back for more keep it up and thank you

Food excellent quality / fresh and prawns/squid were large- salt n pepper quail best we've had anywhere

A busy Vietnamese Restaurant at North Beach. Hidden in Flora Terrace. You can get to see sunset here while having dinner. Food was good, price is reasonably

Absolutely outstanding pho and spring rolls. Literally a taste sensation. I can't see a week going by without me visiting Zeal again. New number one favourite restaurant.
