Vietnamese Street Kitchen Reviews Summary

Food Quality and Variety

Pros:

• "All of the food was delicious, we ordered hot ribs, chicken wings, summer rolls, steamed rolls, calamari, loaded chips and papaya salad."
• "The food generally (have been here a few times) is good, and generous portions."
• "The Good - the food was amazing, very tasty and plenty of options on the menu."
• "Food tasted amazing and came out quickly."
• "Very tasty food and big portions! I ordered the gluten free Steamed prawn spring rolls and a bowl of special pho and left feeling full."

Cons:

• "If you are wanting good fresh food cooked to a high standard please stay away. Our food came and it had a smell of a barnyard."
• "Food wasn't very pleasant and the pork belly bao buns were slow to come out as 'the chef was making them fresh' but they came out like they'd been in the fridge."
• "When the presentation is the only thing that was great. My (forgotten) Pho was bland."
• "We ordered several street snacks to share including bao buns, summer rolls, spring rolls and deep fried dumplings. All were absolutely delish. We also had a mango salad and chilli, salt and pepper chips, again both were amazing. Would definitely return again!"

Service and Staff Attitude

Pros:

• "I don’t understand the bad reviews, we’d booked on a concert day and had fast efficient service with great tasting food."
• "Customer service was really good. The staff were very friendly. The atmosphere was very good too."
• "Service was ok, but not especially friendly or knowledgeable of menu."
• "A few minor mix ups by the waitress with our order but nothing that wasn't quickly and easily sorted."

Cons:

• "To confirm what a lot of other reviews are stating, the service here is poor."
• "The Ugly - service and staff was dreadful! We went here on a Friday around 9pm."
• "Didn't find the staff that attentive but when they came over were pleasant & polite."
• "Service and food shocking. This an embarrassment to the traditional food."

Cocktail Quality

Pros:

• "The cocktails were great and they also have a fab vegetarian selection."
• "We ordered the following between 5 of us: Chicken spring rolls, Veg spring rolls, Salt and chilli crispy prawns, Crispy fried chicken bao buns, Hot sweetie wings, Chilli salt and pepper chips."

Cons:

• "They have 2 for 1 cocktails. We only had 1 each, the rum runner, which was described as strong, but it really wasn't at all and was more sweet than anything."
• "The 2 for 1 cocktails might as well just be soft drinks. There's little to no alcohol in them."
• "The cocktails are more than weak but I'm sure the owners know this."

Ambience and Atmosphere

Pros:

• "Out of all the places in the mall this seemed the most unique! We were very glad at the end to have chosen it!"
• "Nice ambience. Food was amazing. Good portions."
• "Great atmosphere with brilliant customer service. Food is really tasty with generous portions."

Cons:

• "The atmosphere here isn’t great, the music is loud and a lot of the customers are therefore shouting rather than talking."
• "The restaurant is decorated well, but it has a strange atmosphere as they are pumping out very loud music you would hear in a club."
• "Service was extremely slow. One of our party ordered a coffee. The coffee didn't arrive until after we asked for the bill."
