Excellent local Vietnamese food, so much flavour and really fresh ingredients. Thanks for the amazing mushroom vermicelli!
So lovely, such a nice local spot for flavoursome, fresh vegan Vietnamese food. Their tofu and mushroom vermicelli is to die for! Big shout out to them for the vermicelli vegetable spring rolls too ;)
Been here a few times and it has been lovely but the other night was the best yet! Even when we walked through the door we were welcomed by amazing food smells and kind staff. During Covid times it was a pleasant and safe experience with everyone spaced relatively apart and the high chairs were actually very comfortable for once with a back and a cushion! We had a variety of delicious starters which we chose the GF options (for my dietary) and they were delish. I then had the Pho and can I just say, the broth has improved considerably! It was yumm and the waitress offered me extra fresh chilli which made it even better, only thing it was missing was some chilli oil on the side! Other than that, will 100% be back it was good vibes, food was amazing and service was exceptional 👌 It is great to enjoy a lovely meal, feel safe with plenty of GF options and supporting local businesses during this tough period for all, thank you! 😃 👍
Great food, friendly atmosphere and generous portions! We had a lovely night and left with no complaints.
We ordered the salt+pepper squid, cold rolls, lamb shank, barramundi and sautéed greens, al of which we could hardly fault! Would recommend if you like modern asian with traditional flavours and fresh ingredients 👌🏼
I have been to this place many times, as the food here are just amazing, quality with modern twist and really catching up with the modern day food trend, unlike most of Brighton old shops never changed for decades, the items are reasonable priced or you can say heaps cheaper compare to similar restaurant your paid elsewhere in Melbourne, and the staff are also helpful as always.
Nice and relax set up, causal and full of fun laughing people always enjoying their time here, the very few restaurant in Brighton that is trendy and care for the food qualities.

Brighton is not local to me so I wasn’t really sure what to expect with Buffalo Boy but I couldn’t have been more impressed with the food. Absolutely delicious! My group ordered the pork bao, net spring rolls, calamari and satay skewers to start with. Everything was tasty and flavoursome with the standout being the calamari (how did they get it so tender??) and the pork buns. It was obvious that a lot of care had been taken in the planning stages of all theses dishes as each and every sauce/garnish etc was perfectly matched and balanced to the dish. For mains we shared the ox cheek and the lamb shank with a side of coconut rice. Both mains were stunning! The standout was probably the ox cheek with that amazing sticky sauce.
Atmosphere was cool and the interior was modern and interesting. Staff were absolutely lovely but took a long time to clear plates. After people left it took them about 20 mins to clear the tables.
Only food critique (super minor) was that the rice was a little dry but overall it was a stunning dinner! Will definitely be back soon.
Warm friendly welcoming
Happy staff , refreshed menu
Quick meal turn around , great little summer spot or winter hide away .
Fresh seasonal cocktail list ( chilliMojito )
Is a must try for a twist on something new . Designed by kyle rose of SASH on Chapel . Also a really nice prime wines selection. Will be back for those dumplings.
Nice and cosy, I must say this probably the best asian fusion in Brighton area, Perhaps the only one around this area, you can get easy pho or you can share with other when you order from sharing plates. We took the staff advise of 3 entree and 2 share plates for 4 of us,
tried the beef cheeks and lamb shanks, and couple dessert of panna cotta at the end, they are amazing, the service is prompted. will re visit once in area again, maybe just a pho next time
Tips for you, order the share plates, they are good size for two with an entree or side. 4 of us with all the food just off 30$ each, did not have drink as working the next day early.
Popular local Bay St eating spot. Very comfortable Cosy modern decor. Had the seafood spring rolls, vegetarian bun, and pork bun. The food was absolutely on point and so full of flavor. Very genuine flavors of Vietnam.
This restaurant changed management a little while back so I was excited to visit again and see what had changed. The fitout is a massive improvement and the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere. The wait staff were pleasant and the service quick and efficient.
Vietnamese food is by far my favourite cuisine after travelling there last year. I have to say that the food was very tasty but unfortunately way overpriced for the very small portion sizes ($4.50 for 1 rice paper roll and $25 for 1 beef "rib" - to share???!!!!!). I want to come back but coming home hungry after spending $68 on 4 rice paper rolls, 1 rib, 3 mini chicken skewers and 1 bowls of coleslaw I think I'll go back to the competitors. Sorry Buffalo Boy.
Fantastic, tasty and healthy-ish food!! Very good prices too. 5/5

Pro: Great food selection, good service, and ambience. Really nice flavours (and some original ideas).
Con: not much - pre-made lemon lime bitters.
Really enjoyed the meal here - the 2 person set menu was near perfect with some brilliant food with fantastic flavours. It's definitely not for purists (as there's a blend of foods from asia) but what they do they do very well. The only disappointment in the mean was they used the bottled lemon lime bitters (which isn't that nice) - even though they can apparently make quite good drinks there.
The price is quite reasonable for the quality they provide - and the 'set' menu (which gives you a choice of 5 dishes) is our recommendation for lunch. Great to share dishes.
Popped in here one night after being in the city for the afternoon. Cute and lovely restaurant - food is beautiful, fresh and flavourful. Indoor and outdoor space to cater for all. Service was good. Can get busy, so make sure you book!
One of the best Pad Thai noodle prawn dishes I've had in my life!!
Excellent attentive staff and chef, for friends with specific food allergy requirements.
It was lovely food!! Lots of veggies & a nice young fellow who was our waiter, his first day made it a great experience 😀
Very tasty indeed, worth a visit
