Hidden little gem. Lovely decor and friendly and charming service. Absolutely delicious food. We had the entree platter which was very generous in size. The salt and pepper squid was the best we’ve ever eaten. We also had sizzling beef, chilli chicken, bugs, soft noodles and fried rice. Couldn’t fault a dish. We will definitely return.
First time there. Loved the food, staff lovely, had a great night. The pork hot pot special was fantastic, then affagato with their coconut ice cream.
So impressed after our first visit here. Excellent service. Four different meals chosen with all being given a 5*rating. We will be returning.
Food here is stunning, as is the atmosphere. Only issue has been with the waiting periods - occasionally word have been very long indeed, without a large customer population to explain it.
Odd
Vietnamese food has been trending for quite some time now. At one point, every second eatery opening was serving Vietnamese street food. It all comes down to the fresh Asian herbs that are used. Vietnamese food is seen as healthy and aligns with the other trend of healthy eating. Located on busy Glen Osmond Road, Ancient Viet serves up classic Vietnamese dishes. The menu is fairly extensive and divided up into soups, starters, individual proteins, salads, hot pots and vegetarian options.
A great ambience and good food made this dinner experience a great success. We were a large group and decided to order the banquet and a few extra dishes. The entree platters were superb as were the salt and pepper squid, quails and seafood hotpot. The only down side of the night was having to wait about an hour between the entrees and mains but we weren't in a rush so it didn't faze us too much. Will definitely go back and try some other dishes that sounded great. Overall, a tasty feast.
Excellent food and excellent service. Waiting staff very attentive. Could not fault any aspect of our dining experience. We had the gourmet banquet for table of six. Food was hot delicious and tasty. We could talk at our table without having to shout which makes a welcome change. Even our wine was decanted by the staff. Great experience.
Great atmosphere. Were welcomed on arrival. Restaurant was not too noisy for normal discussion at our table of six people. Decided to have the gourmet banquet. Food was hot and delicious. Waiting staff were attentive and even decanted wine for us. Excellent service and excellent food.

Suburban stunner. I've been meaning to get down the hill and try Ancient Viet for ages and was fairly impressed when I finally did. The food was ok -- we didn't seem to pick anything particularly *Vietnamese* as opposed to decent pan-Asian -- but all was fresh and cooked well. S&P pork was the standout of the dishes we ordered. The service was that typical Adelaide thing that still puzzles me, where staff simply take your order and bring it to you when it's cooked. No extras, no up-selling, no real hospitality. But here it might be due to then being rushed off their feet -- the place was PACKED! So, try Ancient Viet for yourself but remember to book ahead even if it's a boring old Tuesday night, otherwise you could be sorely disappointed. 7/10
Great good - and some very authentic options. Best Asian food over this side of town by far. Highly recommended
Went home hungry after the banquet lunch
We went here for dinner tonight and the food was exceptional. Amazing service and very friendly staff. Can't believe that every time I visit Adelaide I drive past and haven't been here.
I have visited so many times. Love the quail and signature make your own col rolls with minced prawn on sugar cane. Great friendly service
Good service, tasty food, reasonably priced. They served me a scotch and coke with flat coke though, and when I sent it back served me another the same.
