Came for dinner 7pm on a Friday night. Casual, no frills Vietnamese eatery with instrumental background music & scrolling menu items displayed in a digital frame. Was looking for a light meal and opted for pork spring roll vermicelli (my usual go-to). Looked great, but was a bit underwhelmed by the salad. The salad consisted of shredded lettuce & mint, trace amounts of shallots, lots of carrot. No bean sprouts. In terms of salad/vermicelli ratio it could have used more salad because it felt like a lot of vermicelli. The sauce was a bit too sweet - I thought the usual saltiness provided by fish sauce was lacking. Bean sprouts did come with my partner's special beef pho. Flavour of the food was OK. It was filling and reasonably priced but would not order that particular dish again. Service was good, our waiter explained water was self serve and indicated where it was. He proceeded to wait tables the rest of the night quietly and competently, tidying & sweeping up in between. May return to try the banh mi and interesting looking dessert options.

Great selection of snack food. Did not let myself buy this massive cannister of potato chips but maybe I should have

Came here as a group for lunch. AED 18 for shawarma, chips and salad. Bread was crispy, it was so good, everyone was very happy with the meal.
