This restaurant has basic decor but that's not what you go for. the food is cheap with a large selection of Vietamese food and everything is good I love the noodle soup with a side of roast duck and a Kiwi shake around $20. It is a very popular restaurant you may have to wait for a seat but not long the food is served fast.
