Royal Vietnamese Cafe & Restaurant delivers a burger‑led line‑up that’s straight to the point. A sensible spend for the spread. Serve sizes show solid value. Fries and sides round things out neatly. Service stays present without fuss.
Great food. The service person offered to assist our large group with suggestions of what to order. Their suggestions were excellent. A great mix of delicious Vietnamese food. Service was friendly and very helpful.
The Royal beef pho was definitely the highlight, very special dish as it comes deconstructed and has many types of cuts/meat, also thoroughly enjoyed the chicken fresh spring roll as well! Great service and the chef even kindly explained the ingredients of the pho when we said it was even better than the ones in Auckland~ Hometown fresh spring roll was very unique because it even had a fried spring roll and eggs inside!
Definitely a hidden gem! We came here after visiting Joyful Bakehouse and decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised by their affordable menu and enjoyed every second of our meal. They were children/ baby friendly and the staff were kind and came and spoke to us frequently. We will definitely come and visit again.
Pho was so good. Royal is so generous with their meat. I mean SUPER SUPER generous. I was so full from this meal and could not finish the spring rolls. Bun bo hue flavour wasn’t up to standard but the amount of meat they gave was extremely generous. Would come here again, very cool experience with the boiling hot pho in a pot. ^__^
Had chicken pho and roast duck rice. The pho was good, plenty of chunky chicken pieces, but missing fresh herbs, lime or other sauce to relieve the heaviness. Duck was pretty good too.
Ordered the Royal Pho. Was pleasantly surprised with the dip. It truly brought out the flavor of the beef broth. It looks spicy but it’s not. You can request for chopped chilis at the side if you wish. The beef balls came in the broth were juicy and you can dip the raw beef into the boiling hot broth to cook it before eating… loved the experience.
Really enjoyed this place, great atmosphere, reasonably priced food and the staff were so helpful opening a little early to accommodate us. Highly recommended.
Fantastic food and coffee! We were amazed by how generous the portions were, and left absolutely stuffed after sharing an appetizer and having a main course each. The bánh xèo/pancake and the Vietnamese coffee were definitely the highlights, but everything was delicious. Plus the space itself is light, relaxing, and inviting (so much prettier than the dark-looking picture currently featured on Google Maps shows).
Heard about this place through a friend. Definitely good portions. Not the best vietnamese food I've had. Roast duck was probably my fave for the night. Skin crispy. Meat still moist. Fresh spring rolls were lacking the herbs that I'm used to being in them. Pancake was crisp but I'm used to it having a bit more filling not just the choice of one meat. More beansprouts than meat in it. Sizzling beef was probably the dish I disliked. The beef was chewy and flavorless.
