   This small and inviting dining space offers an incredible dining experience. They were pretty full by 5:30 but managed to squeeze me in at a bar seat and I’m so thankful they did. It was one of the best meals I’ve had in NZ ever, and I hope to return when I am next through Wellington. It’s not even the type of food I would normally go for, but I’m glad I did. I enjoyed the spiced roasted pork bun to start and the Beef pho. But everyone else’s meals around me also looked fabulous. I almost returned later in the evening to get another helping before I left town, but alas it will have to wait. I highly recommend it. Also the staff were very efficient and helpful, and on their game. The whole time I was there I watched as the prepped twice as many things to-go than they even served in house. Will be back.

   Great lunch deal... A little bit of everything. Had the mango drink with lemonade- would like that to be less sweet but it was tasty... Sticky rice was perfectly sweetened. Food came out fast... The decor is interesting. I like the vibe and colors there. Food is good portion and feels authentic...

   Absolutely loved the food after a long hike in rainy and windy Wellington. The soft shell crab buns were a delight and so was the grilled pork. My meal was customised as I wanted a low carb meal. The noodles were replaced by salad leaves. My friend’s vegetarian meal was flavourful and satisfying.

   It’s not often that a restaurant lives up to the hype, but this one absolutely did. On a Monday afternoon, I found myself at one of Wellington’s most talked-about dining spots, and by 1:30 p.m., the place was buzzing with an energetic office crowd. We began with the Summer Rolls and Pork Belly Bao, both setting the tone for what was to come. For mains, the Char-Grilled Chicken and Pork Belly Salad hit all the right notes. Honestly, the menu made decision-making a struggle, everything sounded tempting. Though we couldn’t manage dessert this time, it’s safe to say we’ll be back — and soon. A big shoutout to the front-of-house team and to the kitchen for crafting a memorable lunch that proves why this spot remains one of Wellington’s must-visit restaurants.

   The restaurant was so popular that number of people were waiting even before it opened. It seemed like they were specializing in fusion cuisine, so I didn't expect much. I ordered Beef Pho, and it was surprisingly good. The people I went with also tried a variety of dishes, and most were very satisfied. However, the portions of noodles were too small, so the price didn't feel cheap.

   Cracking food! We had some really fresh Vietnamese food which we loved and super speedy and friendly service. Not to mention the Welly on a plate cocktail was very impressive.

   I've been hoping to try this place for a while and it did not disappoint. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, and the twice cooked spare ribs were phenomenal. The salt and pepper squid is a must! Super recommended!

   Very good good, comes out quickly and just at the right temperature. Lovely stuff and always ready to help. The pho is outstanding, the boa are delicious and the curry are as good as the rest. The outdoor seating are nice on a warm summer day or evening.
