I was visiting Adelaide from Melbourne for a few days and was recommended by my partner to come here.
Food: 4.5/5
Ambience: 4.5/5
Decor: 4.5/5
Service: 4.5/5
Overall: The food was excellent (Combination noodles, vietnamese spring rolls and the bbq quail) and still authentic.
Staff were very efficient with everything, including making sure the waiting customers didn't have to wait too long for a seat.
Interior decor was beautiful, wooden panels made the restaurant seem cozy and cloth was laid over the tables, so you didn't have the sticky type of feeling that most asian restaurants have.
I never give 5/5 but these guys came close. The atmosphere and ambience of the place was quite good, the only thing that could've improved would have been if there were more tables/chairs in the venue (although this would've compromised the perfect amount of space we had) or some light vietnamese music in the background.
A lot of restaurants should look to this place as an example!
Since I last ate here a few months ago they have added some more Viet options and more noodle soups to the dinner menu and the results are excellent.
I had the Phnom Penh seafood noodle soup and my partner the dumpling noodle soup. Both were excellent. The broth was so home style and refined (my partner is Vietnamese Australian so tough customer). The dumplings in the dumpling soup were phenomenal...some of the best we've had.
The salt and pepper dishes (we had an entree) are also excellent and not so chock full of MSG like many places.
I would definitely ignore some of the older ratings and give this gem a try.
Soft Shell Crab. Brilliant dish
Small cosy restaurant with well done decorations- the Vietnam Kitchen is a treat. Run by a local family they try hard and succeed. We shared 4 courses and they were most delicious. Sweet and sour Aubergine, squid, soft shell crab and beef in lettuce leaves. Not to be missed and they are getting busy on week day nights - so I suggest booking.

Cracker Little Joint. Awesome Food, Awesome Service... what more can I say?!!?
Great spot for a Vietnamese/Asian lunch. I ate lunch here twice last week as I was working nearby in the city. Very nice dishes, well prepared and very well presented. Not just Vietnamese dishes, rather the menu contained a selection of Asian dishes. Service was good and they have quite a reasonable wine list. They also have a Lunch Specials list although I ordered from the full menu. Pricing is quite reasonable.
Yes, I'll eat there again and keenly recommend it to others!
Eaten here many times and never been dissatisfied. Always great food taste and texture in the dishes. Recommend it.
The waitresses are always cheerful and attentive, fast service and has that cute Asian touch.

Food very good....especially the fried eggplant which tastes completely different to what it looks like. Could do with a dipping sauce to make it extra special. Sizzling beef with pepper very tender. Enjoy.
Good food. Good service. Nice atmosphere. Try the salt and pepper squid. *****

Great Service
Nice and homey restaurant away from the madding crowd. We decided to try something different, away from the usual hot spots like Rundle St. As per most recent reviews in 2013, the Pepper Squid is delicious! The Crispy Beef in Plum Sauce was superb! Just enough batter to make it crispy crunchy to the bite and the meat was still tender. Not smothered in flour like most restaurants do. And the servings are very generous. One serve is good enough to share with two people. My hubby had the Laksa. It was quite tasty. We would have liked to have more spiciness in the laksa but next time we visit we'll just ask to add a couple more chillies in it. We were too stuffed, didn't have room for dessert. They are very tempting though so we will definitely visit again.
Great value, Excellent food, good portion size, enormous variety for the palate. Softshell crab, spare ribs plum sauce, chicken with coconut and lemongrass are among the highlights. Do yourself a favour. Small, intimate and away from the madding crowd!

This is now my go to viet fix in the city.
Pho here is a little bit different with other Vietnamese restaurants, but quite nice. Service always fast and friendly, Vietnamese coffee was tasty. Only once that pho served were all stick together, seems boiled maybe one hour ago. Overall it's very good.
We went there and ordered fried pork and "sour" soup (basically, it is 'sweat' and preferable by people from South-west Vietnam). Food was nice, but it is a bit expensive for student (~$AU 20.00 each for a diner).
Wonderful salt and pepper eggplant and salt and pepper soft shell crab. We return often. Excellent service, excellent food. What more could you want.
Amazing soft shell crab, crisp veg, perfect rice and mind blowing flavours, I havd been a customer for years. Well worth a go!
