Stopped in on my way home for a late lunch, had a very nice Temple Tofu Salad bowl Yum! :)
The tofu was warm and the salt was covered in a very nice lime and ginger dressing.
This is a small quick place near the wharf to get a nice bowl of pho. They have a variety of salads, noodles, curries. I always stick to old faithful and get the beef pho though : )
The food was a 10/10. Especially their caramelised pork belly. The service was pretty good, the staff were nice but slightly clueless. I throughly enjoyed it though. The pork was outstanding, the salads and prawns we ordered were delicious as well
I came with my wife to have a pho deluxe and the rolls - it was fantastic. Very nice service from staff as well. The table was shaky though and a bit annoying but it’s just me being picky. Definitely will be back!
Huge menu and so much to choose from. Came here twice and has not been disappointed.
The first time I ordered the vegetarian Buddha noodle bowl, basically a noodle salad. The ingredients are fresh and the "fish"sauce is very aromatic despite it being vegetarian. Maybe avoid their coconut chicken curry bowl, it wasn't that good according to my friend who ordered it.
Second time we were here, I ordered a vegetarian pho, was expecting less since pho is all about the beef and fragrant beef broth. To my surprise, the vegetarian broth might even be better than your usual meat broth, it was sweet and aromatic and a lot less greasy than the usual broth. Was also pretty impressed because most viet places don't have vego pho.
My other colleagues really like their crispy pork belly roll, something to consider if you eat meat :)
Absolutely amazing food for the money. Rice paper rolls, tofu temple salad, chilli and salt soft shell crab and the duck san choy bow made a spectacular lunch. I have been to quite a few viet street food style restaurants and this hit the mark. Almost didn't come here because it wasn't rated. Glad I took a chance.
We walked by and couldn't resist, it looked really appealing and the food / service didn't let us down. The rice paper rolls, pancakes and plus the cocktails were great. Def worth a visit.
Satisfactory all round, food, service, location and atmosphere. It's an easy venue to grab a quick bowl of pho. You'll not be disappointed, but equally you'll not be amazed or wowed.

Just opposite the Manly ferry terminal along the stretch that houses an italian restaurant and the Manly bike hire, lies this vietnamese restaurant. The decor is clean and welcoming. I was greeted by a French waitress who guided me to an empty seat, albeit it is not that busy on a Monday lunch session.
There was another table next to me with bowls of Pho and it looked pretty good. I opted instead for the rice paper rolls and the Ban Mi (the baguette).
I ordered the prawn and pork and the soft shell crab rice paper rolls. The dish is served cold and the ingredients were fresh from the fridge. It comes with a condiment of plum sauce. Pretty decent, a viable recommendation.
My dining experience was accompanied by the music of Keane and also “Video killed the radio star”; someone must have hit shuffle all on their whole music library.
Then the Ban mi with beef and lemongrass arrived. The baguette was toasty warm for the oven (bonus points for that). This resulted in a a very nice first bite of crunch into the warm baguette. There is some chilli in there and it had some bite to it. Very nice. The beef itself was decent.
The rice paper rolls were $8 and the ban mi was $9. Overall decent food. Decent dining experience. Definitely value for money. Strong recommendation.
Let’s try the pho next time on a wet winter’s day …
