• "Staff were all super attentive and friendly!! Amazing food and drinks for very reasonable price, lovely setting in the square."

• "Only two waiters. The place gets busy after 6.30pm. this was a lot of work for just the waiters. They could do with one more."

• "Absolutely lovely place. Called in on the off chance on a Saturday lunchtime. They managed to get a table for the wife and I."
• "The Pho and Spring rolls are good possibly the best Pho in Sheffield, although perhaps also the only Pho in Sheffield."

Cons:

• "The only positive is that the decor is lovely."
• "It was cool that they provided us with optional extra herbs and spices to add to taste."

• "A very English Vietnamese restaurant, lacking anything authentic, noodle dishes mainly broth, very little noodles, so much so we had to order 2 more portions of noodles to bulk it up, overpriced and underwhelming."
• "The restaurant was large inside and service was OK. Waitress was very shaky. Spilled my drink on the table, then when the main course arrived proceeded to spill the 2 bowls of pho on the table and my leg as well."
