I?m sure for most people this place is fine or whatever. But I?m gluten free. Don?t come here if you?re gluten free. They... can?t answer if there?s soy sauce OR wheat flour in any of their dishes including the pad Thai. They told me I could ordervegetarian or get the beef noodle soup. They then asked me if I can eat hoisin sauce or fish sauce, I said I don?t know withoutreading the ingredients. They let me read the fish sauce label which was GF. But I had to read the sauce jar for them. Theythen said they thought I couldn?t have hoisin sauce, but said the beef soup would be fine for me. So that?s what I ordered. Igot home, mixed the plain rice noodles with the ?beef? (basically deli cut roast beef slices), and put it all in the ?soup?(basically out-of-the-carton plain Campbell?s chicken broth). I then tasted it. It tasted exactly as those three Ingredientsmixed together would. I then recalled them asking me if I could have sirachi sauce right before I decided to order the beef soupand I said yes, I?m sure a sirrachi sauce is GF. So I noticed there was a separate small sauce container in my take out bag. So I figured it must be the sirrachi sauce, they fully know my GF concerns. So I wrecklessly tossed the sauce into my blandsoup to try and spice it up. But it didn?t taste spicy at all. If anything it tasted like hoisin sauce. Which is not GF atall. I then took a closer look at the empty sauce container and then noticed the sauce was a dark brown. Same colour as hoisinsauce. I?d already tried one spoonful before I put the sauce in. (Bland) and then one more mouthful after I put the sauce in(faint sweet hoisin taste). Had to dump the whole mess in the trash. I have no idea if there was wheat contamination in my mealor not but I certainly wasn?t going to take any chances I?d rather waste the $15.00. If you?re not gluten free, and love ?beefnoodle soup? then please ignore this review. Read more

I wasn't impressed and neither was my companion. We had pho and rice with chicken. There wasn't anything special about the... pho. The chicken was dry and hard. My companion is a cook. I'm not a picky eater. The service was friendly, professional andtimely. Read more

The beef noodle portion is huge. We ordered large. The soup base tastes good. The bbq pork is thinly sliced and is very savoury.... We like the rich lemongrass taste. The papaya and durian smoothie can have more fruit flavor and be less sweet. The ladiesserving us were very nice and friendly. Read more

The staff at this location are super nice and friendly. Food also tasted good, the only downside was the portions. I ordered the... Chicken and Beef plate which consisted of 80% rice and very small portions of chicken and beef. For a $20 Meal I felt they couldof added more to the plate. Read more

The food was fine, but nothing wow about it either. The restaurant was however not well organized, the owner(probably) said no... credit card and there is also a sign on the on the door, however a bit later I saw another customer paid with credit card. Thename of the restaurant is directly translates as "Oxtail Noodle Soup", but the awards on the wall were for "Ox Head NoodleSoup".... and none of them are in the menu. The bill was wrong, they charged too much, those two dishes on the table and abottle of Heineken for $26.xx, anyway I came 6000km away, so I paid $30 and tip the rest, because they are also vietnamese. Itis worth to try it once, but nothing wow that make me to detour, when I am around the area in the future. With that said 2/5stars from here. Read more
