"Vietnamese restaurant trying to be Italian, if you're vietnamese dont waste your money here, u wont like it, the food taste like ****
The price was hell no"
Really excellent Vietnamese food. Some of the best, if not the best, I've had in Sydney. The pork banh mi was genuinely fresh (crispy, fresh baguette and fresh-tasting high-quality meat rather than processed meat). The duck with onion marmalade was plump and flavourful. The red rice with black pepper beef cubes was likewise well-seasoned, and the beef tamarind salad was fresh-tasting with an artful combination of different flavours. A definite cut above your standard Vietnamese restaurant and much better in quality and level of care in preparation than Mama's Buoi (at least the one in Crows Nest).
I went with my work colleagues for a team lunch. We ordered the $45 banquet and I didn't expect much and thought it would be standard Vietnamese food. The food was not typical Vietnamese but infused modern style and it was amazing! I found out that the Vietnamese owner had learnt some of his trade through a French cooking school which gave an awesome twist to the food. Definitely going back and telling my friends about this one! :-)
Nice restaurant with an open atmosphere. Parking is free downstairs after 6pm. Dont be deterred there is no ticket system - just press the button and someone remotely opens it up. The food is simple and fresh but portions are rather small and the customer service is attentive but the waiter had difficulty understanding our order. I highly recommend the Slowly braised beef cheeks with bread $23.
Not everyone likes a modern take on an Asian classic but when done right can be great and with this establishment they've come close to it.
Whilst not every dish gets hit out of the park, they do a great way to verbal job of modernizing the dishes to incorporate western tastes.
Personally I prefer the authentic stuff but if you're in the area give it a go

Ordered takeaway consisting of the rice paper rolls and the standard beef noodle soup. The broth was tasted alright and was rather exotic compared to traditional vietnamese pho. I got very strong notes of allspice or something. The rice paper rolls were standard along with the usual dipping sauce.
I thought the food here was really good. The scallops were wonderful. The pineapple mint drink was excellent, and though I don't care for either lemongrass or chicken, I found their lemongrass chicken truly delicious!
Interesting blend of modern French and Vietnamese cuisine... Unfortunately doesn't live up to expectations.
Fresh spring rolls were bland and vegetable curry was over seasoned. Disappointing overall.
Amazing Vietnamese dishes with French influence. All the traditional herbs and spices are there. No corner cutting. Very friendly staff and chef. Will definite come back for the summer menu.

The food here is delicious, so fresh and great sizes for sharing. The scallops were wonderful, and the pho is as good as Vietnam. I love the modern twist. Will definitely return.
