Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Have been before on a previous visit so decided to come back. The food is just like what we ate in Vietnam. We both loved what we ate. The place was very busy but the fitted us in. Service was good. Definetly will go back...when we return.More

Great food - full of flavour - and it came pretty quickly. Chicken curry was great. Reasonable prices and excellent value. Very good service - informal but attentive. Buzzy atmosphere - not too noisy. No complaints - we've learned you need to book - at...least for Sunday lunch.More

Great spot for catching up with friends for delicious food. Good choice of cocktails, wine and really good food options. Couldn't pick one standout as in the few times I've been everything has been great. Friendly and accommodating staff makes this place an excellent option...for a meal when in Wellington.More

The 5 spice belly pork bun was delicious. The pork was tasty and succulent wrapped in a steamed bun. Good as meal on its own.

Food was very good overall as usual. However the peking duck style dish ('Cashew Peking Duck') was not so good - I'm not convinced there was any duck in the dish at all; visually there were not signs of duck and the only flavor I...tasted was soggy reconstituted shiitake mushrooms or something similar. I had to ask the staff if I got the right dish just to make sure. Maybe they were out of duck that evening (Sunday 3rd September)? Everything else was great though and it won't detract me from coming back.More

We wanted an early pre-concert meal, and the Old Quarter has a one-hour early dining slot at 5pm. Booking essential. All seats were full by 5.10pm. The food arrived quickly, and we were out by 5.45pm. The menu has sharing dishes and main dishes. We...had Banh Xeo pancake, filled with a delicious mix of roast pork and shrimps $21, zucchini fritters deep fried $17, and Tofu Bao $10. The pastry of the bao was a bit leathery - undercooked maybe? Finished with Yuzu posset $13. YUM. The house pinot gris was very reasonable at $7 glass. Service is quick, friendly and professional. Lots of bench seating. Don’t know if they could accommodate a wheelchair.More

We had lunch here before going to a show. Everything we ate and drunk was sooooo good. We got the $17 lunch special, a salad and some extra dumplings (pork and chicken). Such great flavors and I’m already craving the food again. Drinks were also...delicious and well priced. Excellent service too! Highly recommend!More

The food is devine every time we go. The choice of sharing a meal or choosing a meal just for yourself. The cocktails are incredible value. The only downside is the bathroom which is well past its use by date. They definitely need to be...updated and at least one more women's toilet added.More
