We visited for the lunchtime buffet deal which was great value. The offerings are pretty limited but generally good. Things had obviously been sitting out for a while, so the noodles and some other foods were dry. A drink was included for us. The desserts were pretty basic - mainly milk/jelly based puddings.

What a fantastic place to dine or just snack. A great variety of yummy foods and beverages. I always mean to take a photo of the dishes I order but the aroma and visual delight always got the better of me and I'd just tuck in. To round off a leisurely dining experience you can enter your car rego on the tablet and get an extra 4 hours parking in the enclosed parking area outside. Oh, btw my faves are their hot chocolate, Sundaes, Prawns, or Poached eggs on freshly baked bread with a yummy sauce. Their service is charming, efficient, and quick, and the dining ambience is delightful, surrounded by colourful lanterns and golden ornaments that truly invites one to linger and maybe order more, like a desert or even another hot chocolate

We dine-in at this restaurant when ever we visit Whanganui especially because it is open throughout the day. Good food and they have breakfast option as well. Coffee and shakes are added benefit if someone from the group decides to skip lunch.

Had dinner. Special Beef Pho was perfect and the extra garlic and chilli complimented perfectly. Great value for money. Friendly staff and great service. Came back for lunch, pork belly Banh Mi, was very tasty. Missing the carrot and coriander, but a generous serving of pork. Very good value for money. Lots of parking available.

My wife, daughter, my Mum and I came here today for lunch. We loved the friendly atmosphere, open space and decor. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Very impressed with the quick service, large portions and great authentic Vietnamese flavours. Next time we visit Whanganui, we will definitely be coming back to this restaurant.

Beef stew, calamari, springrolls and slow cooked pork. Definitely had better in Auckland at the Vietnam Cafe and Sam Woos, still good though, but just felt like those other places used better ingredients and were more true to the recipes and flavours.
