Excellent iced coffee. Coffee was strong and smooth. Ordered one and was pleasantly surprised how good it was so had another take away. Banh mi was great too. Bread was crispy and fresh. The ingredients are a bit unusual with salads and pickles instead of the usual banh mi filling. Very tasty. Looks like an average industrial park cafe but food and drinks are above average. Would go back again.

A great mix of food with a variety of Asian dishes. Friendly and quick service with many local businesses enjoying the seating inside and out. The lasagne looked amazing however I will save that for another day. Chicken with fried rice hit the spot - very tasty. Worth a try for locals or if you happen to be driving through around lunch time.

It's an industrial area breakfast & lunch cafe. Serving sizes are pretty good. Vietnamese based so very tasty. Has the usual quick fix dim sim and fried finger foods along with the plated rice, pork, chicken types dishes. Staff are good and always smiling

Great Vietnamese iced coffees. Pretty disappointing crispy pork banh mi. No pate and the pork was cut into chunks that were slightly too big. Friendly service. Keen to try a few other dishes.

Good for quick lunch while working in the area. Good Vegan options. Food was very nasty
