"Party of 80+ private event, absolutely gorgeous venue and decor, atmosphere."

"Beautiful restaurant and such tasty food. The soft shell crab and squid were my favourites."
Cons:
"The food was incredible too, our server Lucas was great. Music too quiet as well and the vibe felt very basic."
"The restaurant was very quiet. It’s quite a large restaurant and only one member of staff on."
"Went for drinks/cocktails. The music was so loud, I had to almost yell at my partner sitting opposite me."
"The atmosphere is lovely, our waitress was friendly and the food and drinks came quickly this was a Saturday night too."
"We had a mixture of vegetarian and meat dishes and they were all fine, but nothing that couldn't have been made at home."
"The food was good but the menu was a bit confusing if you tried to order a selection of small plates."
"Atmosphere-wise, it’s upmarket enough to be impressive, and homesy enough to be comfortable."
"The decor and hygiene of the overall restaurant is near unmatched and possibly the best service we have ever had from Elaine and Lucy!"
Service

"The staff were friendly and helpful, and the restaurant was clean, tidy, and had a pleasant atmosphere." - Review 7
"Came out in a group of 4 for my friend’s birthday and Moe was ABSOLUTELY amazing. It’s unbelievable that he’d been there for only 3 days!"
"The waitress nearly had us buying three of the starter plates each, thank god we didn’t as that would have been a huge amount of food."
"Greeted us almost immediately as we entered and they took us straight to our table. Terrific pronunciations of the Vietnamese dishes by the waiter."
Cons:
"Service was lacking from the minute we arrived. Took a long time to place drinks orders."
"The Pho Bo had little meat and a strange taste that turned us off finishing it."
"Service from Lucas was really great. He was very pleasant and literally described the menu by heart."
"The food was not special, but ok, .... a little too much salt everywhere. The young service guy was very friendly and rapid."
"The restaurant is a lovely place to go for a nice evening out. The food is wonderful, especially the grilled squid."
"The music was OK, maybe a little on the loud side but that's obviously the vibe and it wasn't completely overbearing."
"The service was shocking also, we waited 45 minutes for drinks and had to remind the staff several times of our order."
"Food was delicious, we chose 6 items from the lunch menu. Highlights were the squid and the garlic pork. Staff were excellent."
Food Quality and Taste
Pros:
"The food was incredible. We all had something different and were all very impressed."
"Set menu - sharing platter (delicious! and good sized portions). Lots of compliments on the night and the next day from guests!"
"The food was amazing, drinks menu had a great concept."
"Food was absolutely fantastic. The flavours of everything were just perfect, 10/10 will be back to try more of everything on the menu."
"Had rolls and dumplings to start. Steak with spicy sauce and rice and pork with noodles main. Service excellent and nice draught Asahi."
"We had mussels to start, and the broth they came in was probably one of the nicest things I've had in a while."
"The food was super delicious. Cocktails were tasty and beautifully served."
"The food is amazing and totally delicious, it's sooo authentic. The decor and surroundings are beautiful and the staff and service is second to non."
Cons:
"The trembling beef was nice, but a tad too spicy! Value for money was pretty poor as well - you can definitely get a lot more from other places in Manchester for the same price."
"The beef pho needed more substance where the raw beef slices offered should be more generous."
"The roast pork pho bo’s cuts is rather sloppy, the cut size and portions can also be more standardised."
"For starters, this is a wonderful place to spend your time in. The food is delicious every way you put it."
"The food is really very tasty. The portions are not small. The atmosphere is very cozy."
"Service was incredible too, our server Lucas was great at running us through the menu and just very attentive service throughout the meal."
"Really good food, like a modern take on Vietnamese, served like tapas."
"The food was not special, but ok, .... a little too much salt everywhere."
