I came there on a ANZAC night. It looked busy from outside but the customer service was quick and immediate. There is a large variety of foods served in this restaurant and most things are well-cooked. I ordered the duck spring rolls, the set contains 4 rolls. The rolls are fresh and tastes good, I really love the duck, so soft and fresh. I love the peanut sauce too. I wanted to order more of these but unfortunately I would be full of my large orders. I also have the chicken salad and the soup. They are good too. The tastes are quite authentic and well balanced, not too spicy, not too salty or not too sweet. The last thing I ordered was the fried banana ice cream. At first I thought that was fried banana-flavored ice cream when ordering, but it was actually fried banana with vanilla ice cream. The dish was more than I expected, very nice. The fried banana was crispy and hot inside, very tasty. It was a good combination of the hot fried banana melting with ice cream in mouth. I generally enjoyed the meal, and will definitely come back there for dinner with friends one day. The customer service is very good and nice - Bonus point. Highly recommend this fancy restaurant to new or returning customers.
Delicious Vietnamese food for the locals! Cheap and quick to order with the byo option makes this place a must when you need that weeknight asian treat. Would highly recommend the prawn springrolls and combination fried rice noodles which are my absolute favs ❤
I’ve wanted to visit this place for a while so I grabbed some t/a dinner here and the service was friendly and welcoming.
I ordered some vegan fried rice which was excellent, really tasty. No meat,no eggs just lots of veggies and rice. Yummo
Then I ordered some rice noodles w chicken and veggies. This was also really tasty and the noodles cane separately to the chicken and veggies. The chicken was really large chicken breast pieces w a lot of fresh veggies.
This place was amazing value and it’s definitely worth a visit!
This is one of my absolute favourite places to eat viet food! Try their com bo luc lac (diced beef on rice) and avocado smoothie!
Generous portion size and friendly staff always make the experience a whole lot better :)
My favourite. Have been going here for years and it is consistently delicious. I love the salt and pepper squid and the plum pork. Also the rice paper rolls.
I’ve been eating here for years, it has been our go to Viet place for at least 15years.
I remember a good 10years ago, myself and 2 mates dropped in for lunch and cost nothing more than $30 for all of us.
The food is great and the service is avg, but you can look past that for the quality of the food 🍲
One of the few Vietnamese restaurants that serve dry noodles rather than just pho. Actually pho is a small part of its expansive menu. We ordered their dry noodles and really happy with the dishes. Noodles are chewy and seasoned nicely. Too bad their meat slices are dry.
Food 1: don’t come here for pho or bun ... maybe they have their special dishes but definitely not pho or bun 🤷🏻♀️
Atmosphère 1: typical Vietnamese restaurant ... everything is sticky 😂
Service 1.5: attentive & friendly
Okay, now, if you're checking this review, it means you're one of two people:
'Damn, so hungry, in Richmond, googled this, let's see if it's good.'
Or.
'What the heck is a ha long? Is it a noodle?'
Alright, let me light this up by saying come here son. Legitimately, the food, the service, boy you should uppercut yourself in the head if you deny the food tastes good, and is cheap.
Feed 2 hungry people for under $50? Including entrees and drinks? Yeap.
Cool interior decor to distract you while you consider Pho or Rice? Yeap.
Walked on in with the wife about 11am today, checking out the competition around the area before I saw the tea cups on the table.
Good sign, oh my gods the tenderness that enveloped my normally death-gripped wallet, too fresh, too real.
So we grabbed a seat, scoped through the menu, and my wife is picky as heyall when it comes to the noodles. Their service game so on point they explained what else they could cram into the pho for her.
Man, the service so real just ordering a coffee they ask what you want with it, how you like it, explaining it like it was a damned medical procedure. I love it. It was like a damned opera it was beautiful.
But, onto the food now, cos we got fly-kicked like a mortal kombat movie written by Charlie Sheen and Quentin himself. Massive spring rolls. Lots of fresh salad. Sauce. Come on son, stop it. The game was serious.
After we destroyed the spring rolls, we received the glorious basins of Pho.
'Basin?'
Yeah. Basin. Like a tub of soup, more noodles in the bowl than should be consumable by a human who ain't Kobayashi (google this black-holed stomach monster), fresh white onions, and near mountains of beef that when you put it in your damned doubting mouth, melts and makes you feel like your grandma is telling you a bed time story.
So, mang, all in all, seriously?
I went to fork out the big notes, nah man, brother behind the counter was all triple-checking when I said 'It can't be that damned cheap'.
It was.
Nuff said. Get here. Cheers.

I think I may have discovered my new go-to Vietnamese restaurant on Victoria Street. My fellow mitochondria and I consumed...
- Vegetable spring rolls: these were a little larger than your standard spring roll but quite good. We were provided with plenty of lettuce and herbs to go along with them. The Nuoc Cham was good too.
- Vegetable rice paper rolls: these were quite small but very tasty. They came with the standard hoisin/peanut/chilli sauce
- Fried rice: came in quite a small serving and was a little stingy on the ingredients...not sure if egg came as an extra as we were asked if we would like it to be present
- Water spinach w/ garlic sauce: small serving again but still nice and garlicky
- Mongolian beef: they all must use the same sauce because it tasted exactly the same as elsewhere, main difference was that it contained a larger amount of meat than other places
I think what we got was pretty reasonable for the price, and was on the higher end of quality. The venue itself was very clean but the only downside was that the waitstaff were inattentive; it was difficult to attract their attention, and they had a habit of walking away when being spoken to.
1* off for the fact that they don't take card, which is ridiculous..you have to do bank transfer! Seriously! Anyway, $2 corkage is great, duck was crispy and moist, the bean shoot stir-fry is worth it itself, so is the soup..anyway, it's been 11 years since I first visited and it's still as good.
The best Peking duck in town. Reasonable price come with quality food. Must try this out if you are Chinese food lovers 😋
I came back here many times to enjoy the true taste of Peking Duck, which only can be sought in the whole city.
The last time been here was quite a long waiting for seats and the food was kind of more oily than previous. Otherwise, there was nothing to complain about…
Recommend peking duck 🦆 The best
Foods so Yummy
Service not bad but I understood about not enough staff . This restaurant so busy not bad service But about foods no complain!!!!!
Set menu of pecking duck is so cheap and delicious. Love pecking duck with pancakes, spicy chili with bean sprouts, and duck soup. The best restaurant of pecking duck in my heart. ❤️
Duck was crispy but could have done with more pancakes for the Peking duck as part of the duck set menu ($65). Order extra noodles ($8) if you're hungry to go with noodles that come with the set menu. Gets busy so best to book.
old kingdom dishing out an old classic - peking duck - and they do it well!
you can get a whole course meal from ordering just the one duck - theyll utilise every bit of the duck and serve it up for you! no wastage!
super tasty and speedy service!
you will need to book ahead to make sure you get a seat! really great for family gatherings as they can cater for large groups!
peking duck at its finest!
