This restaurant is always packed especially on the weekends so be prepared the wait. It's not a restaurant where you usually stay long so the turn over is usually pretty quick. We got a table after a five minute wait. The menu is quick extensive...with lots of authentic Vietnamese food and there are photos too! It's usually quite hectic in the restaurant with wait staff bustling around so order quick! Be different for a change and don't go for a bowl of pho. I would recommend their Banh Hoi which is basically a DIY rice paper roll. There are a selection of Banh Hoi options but I usually go for the special which gives you bits of everything like sugar cane prawn, spring roll, lemon grass pork...
Phu Quoc is famous for its banh hoi chao tom, or Vietnamese sugar cane prawns. Wrapped in rice paper, fresh herbs, fine rice noodles, prawns, and pickles; the roll is irresistible. But not without the addition of nuoc cham or dipping sauce. If you’re familiar with Vietnamese fresh summer rolls or goi cuon, I highly recommend you try this dish here. Phu Quoc serves other Vietnamese dishes and desserts too. The venue is clean and newly renovated. The service is really good too.
My feeling of this place is it’s probably appropriate for ethnic Vietnamese of which of the clientele are. Just not really for us in terms of taste. We had different types of vermicelli salad both of which were filled to the brim with noodles- however taste wise it isn’t for us. Kiddo’s crispy noodle beef was acceptable but would use abit more sauce and smaller, less ‘old’/fibrous veggies! Tough for kids with bracers!
Was recommended by a Vietnamese friend. We tried it the other day and was overwhelmed. The restaurant is quite small but everyone there seemed to find some enjoyable dish. The combination rice vermicelli appeared to be very popular. We also tried the combination broken rice....The staff there reflects what the younger generation of Vietnamese look like and how the area has evolved.

Everytime I have been this place is busy. Given that there is so many Vietnamese people eating it speaks for itself the quality of the food. There was 6 of us we ate like buffaloes and paid just $114. Not one of my group disliked...or complained about any dish that came out. Well maybe I'm lying they said they were bloated and couldn't finish what was on the table.
We shared a beef salad, spring rolls and a beef brisket pho. The pho was very good and full of flavour with lots of meat. Really enjoyed the beef noodle salad too. The spring rolls on the other hand just tasted like mince, some more...veggies inside would have been nice. Quite a big menu so lots to choose from too.
Had to queue outside for about 20 minutes, so it’s definitely popular! Staff were pleasant and friendly, and the food was served quickly (but not too quickly! . I had the self-assembly rice-paper rolls. Really high quality food, and a bit of fun making my own....I’ll definitely return.
Travelled for an hour and a half but they said the pho had run out for the day at around late afternoon. Only other good food is the Cha Gio (fried spring rolls). Other options are average at best.
