Takeaway menu as of November 2019. Reliably tasty food, good prices, friendly staff, long opening hours, and discount offered for cash on takeaway orders.
If you eat in be sure to check out the walls plastered with autographs, drawings, and commendations from politicians, minor celebs, athletes, kiddies and more.
A Canberra icon. The Sexy Squid is one of the best dishes in the city and the entire 'sexy' menu is amazing. The free and compulsory dessert the end is an institution. A must do.
Still serving authentic mum&dad-style Vietnamese food after all these years. The flavours are wholesome and strong and memorable. Definitely a Canberra favourite.
I've been here at least 3 times now and each time the food quality has remained the same. I.e. great!
Customer service was great too.
A la carte items are good.
But if you're feeling adventurous and with friends. Ask the chef to do up a special banquet for all of you. The dishes served may or may not be something on the menu but you'll certainly be in for a treat!
This place is nothing to look at, but the food is incredible. This is the best asian food you will get anywhere. Even my friends from Singapore say it's the best they have had. The menu is huge, but you don't need it. Just ask the owner to surprise you and you will get a selection of amazing food. This place is like no other. 12/10
My sons & I love this place. The food is tasty and Mr Tan's personality & sense of fun makes dining here very enjoyable. The food is tasty and comes out quick. It's noisy because it is always full. It's a great atmosphere to break bread in with family. It's unpretentious and welcoming. Highly recommend it. It's our favourite place in Canberra to eat.
I searched Urban Spoon – my go to place to locate restaurants and searched the best in Manuka and Griffith in ACT – the one that caught my eye was GRIFFITH VIETNAMESE – so off I went.
Love this place!. I absolutely love this place for a good cheap eat. They are so quick and unpretentious and the messages on the walls from various politicians often make for hilarious conversation starters. Even better, they are super accommodating with any dietary requirements (like being gluten free). Never fail to deliver!
My boyfriend and I are both on a low FODMAP diet, which isn't very fun when it comes to dining out. BUT... This restaurant is always really accommodating to us when we list the things we can't eat. Somehow they manage to pack in buckets of flavour even though we can't eat onions or garlic!! I unreservedly recommend this place for anyone and for any occasion.
Good food, good price. The food here is great and their prices are quite reasonable.
Quite a wide variety of dishes on offer and they are all great.
Interesting decor inside with many ex and current politicians who have filled out and signed pieces of paper for them to hang on the walls.
Had a quick dinner here on a freezing cold night. To me this is more of an asian restaurant than a vietnamese restaurant. Food is not very vietnamese. However the hot food warmed us up.
A simple stir fried beef with veges was $23 (no rice). What do you think?
Fabulous old school Vietnamese restaurant serving old school Vietnamese foods - old school meaning -prawn toast!
The food was delicious, unpretentious and run by hard-working family.
We had spring rolls which had a lot of filling - more filling than pasty, stir fried satay (spelt sate) chicken, beef noodles and large special fried rice.
Love the retro deco. Book in advance as the book out quickly.
A classic non traditional Vietnamese food. Serving is hurried but not unfriendly. Mr Tam doesn't show up as much now. The flat noodles (no. 50) and hotplate beef amazing
Lovely family owned and run Vietnamese food - good authentic cooking
Very friendly staff, if not a little too hard to flag down sometimes, but mostly they’re lovely and helpful.
The food is reliably tasty, they cater really well to vegetarians - being vegetarian I really appreciate that they have a whole seperate menu, with a lot of dishes, that are vegetarian or vegan. But for the omnivores, the menu is very large, and from the feedback of my friends and family who aren’t vego like me, the seafood and meat dishes are, as has been my experience, reliably tasty, with food arriving quickly, very generous portion sizes, and a very affordable dinner out (or takeaway).
It’s not the most glamorous interior to dine in, it gives off strong 90s inexpensive restaurant vibes, but it’s kind of a cute quirk I find. I also love reading all the messages and autographs from politicians, to touring artists, to children’s drawings. It’s fun to try to spot different people who’ve sat where you sit now.
