First time and amazing experience. The food was really tasty - the tuna tartare oooh my god! Divine. A must do again The pho was really good - enough to share for you We are coming back for sure.

A fab restaurant with a really cool vibe. The Bun Bowl w. chicken katsu was really delicious a clean healthy meal with a bit of fried decadence. The meals of other diners looked equally delicious. In my opinion, the prices are really reasonable, too.

CAFÉ PALAT REVIEWS

A lovely cheerful greeting, an offer to sit where you like and a happy vibe. The menu is large and double sided with great variety. Prawn & pork wontons, and an entree platter was a really tasty lunch. A surprise plate with two pieces of house made Turkish delight slice, was absolutely delicious. Will be back to try the omelette spotted on a nearby table.

Absolutely delicious food! I always come here alone to eat lunch on my day off. I would highly recommend the Crispy Pork Dish and Fried Pork Spring Rolls! Will definitely recommend to my family and friends.

Great lunch with delicious flavours. We shared the Chicken San Choy Bow and Fried Pork Spring Rolls.

ANH CHI EM REVIEWS

Had such an amazing time at An Chi Em. The food was delicious, full of flavour and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everything came out perfectly. Big shout out to Lanz for the great service. So friendly, attentive and made sure we had a wonderful dining experience. Definitely coming back again soon.

The atmosphere appears cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family. The service seems to be top-notch as well, creating a well-rounded dining experience. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious Vietnamese food.

I’ve eaten in and had take out from this local gem a number of times. Service is always excellent, food is fresh and delicious, made with quality ingredients. Their vegetarian and beef rice paper rolls are a repeat favourite of mine. Highly recommend, can’t wait to dine at their sister restaurant Jeffies.
