Cơm hến // Hue clam rice

This is a Vietnamese rice dish originating in Huế. Aromatic wok tossed clams on top of rice, pork rinds, shrimp paste, chili paste, cucumbers, herbs, green apple, bạc hà stems, and is served with the broth of cooked clams. It is nothing like you've ever tried. Full of flavour and texture.

Who knew our humble little spring roll would become such hit. So much that we can't take it off the menu. We've been told there would be a riot if we did. 😂

Hand cut prawn and pork filling with an extra crispy rice wrapper. Wrap it in herbs and leaves and dip in . It's the perfect bite.

Bún thịt bò xào // Beef noodle salad

Next special up for our Tuesday Noodz-Day is the lesser known but common in Vietnam beef noodle salad. Sydney has turned up the weather and our chefs think it's time to bust out this addictive dish. Centred around the marinated and then wok tossed beef, the dish is then layered with veggies, VN herbs, medley of pickles and crunchy toppings. Sauce and stir at the table. You'll be in heaven in no time.

A lovely read from Not Quite Nigella to kick us into the weekend. ❤️

Cash Only Diner, Sydney The name Cash Only Diner suggests a casual sort of place, perhaps a hole in the wall sort of restaurant or quick diner where you can drop in for a coffee for breakfast or quick burger for lunch. However Cash Only Diner isn't really any of these things. For starters, it's really more a restaurant tha...

Nem Lụi Huế // Hue lemongrass pork skewer platter

The origin of nem lụi other than it was created exclusively for the imperial family. Centuries later, it's made its way to the street food scene and is one of the more popular local foods.

Mì Quảng // Tumeric noodles of Quang Nam

Our next Tuesday Noodz-Day special is a popular noodle dish that originated from Quảng Nam Province in central Vietnam. It is a must-try noodle dish if you ever visit the popular city of Hội An and the northern neighboring city of Đà Nẵng.

Mì Quảng is made with flat yellow rice noodles, served in a small amount of intensely flavored broth with a medley of fresh herbs and vegetables. Topped with pork rib, whole prawn, toasted cashews, sesame rice crackers, and hard-boiled quail eggs. It is a symphony of different textures and flavours.

You know the drill. Limited bowls until sold out. One day only Tuesday 18th June.

Bánh xèo //

Traditional crispy savory pancake, stuffed with school prawns, pork and a medley of vegetables. The name comes from the sound as the batter hits the pan and crisps up to perfection.

Roll up your sleeves. This dish requires you to wrap this crispy delight with the lettuce, herbs, and pickles, then dip into the nuoc mam sauce. It's textured. It's savory, acidic and addictive.

Bún thang // Vietnamese chicken noodle soup

From Northern Vietnam, it has a chicken broth, served with vermicelli noodles, and topped with cha lua, Vietnamese coriander, green onions, eggs, and shredded chicken. Believed to have medicinal qualities, it is very specific with the type of chicken needed to make the dish, the herbs that accompany it and the way the bowl is layered.

Such a layered dish. It is perfect for our next Tuesday Noodz-Day! AVAILABLE ONLY ONE DAY: Tuesday 16th April from midday until sold out.

TUESDAY NOODZ-DAY // Phở gà 🐔
The weather has turned and nothing slaps harder than a bowl of pho. Last year when we ran this noods we sold out at lunch. So back for take two this Tuesday 26 March, bowls will be filling from midday.

Most people that walk into our restaurant, assume we have pho. We pride ourselves on regionality and showcasing a sense of place. The region of Hue and Da Nang. There is so much more to Vietnamese cuisine than pho or banh mi. So no. We don't usually have pho on our regular menu. Some people walk out. And that is totally OK.

We've introduced Tuesday NOODZ-DAY recently. To allow our chefs to hero dishes from their home town. Noodles nostalgic to them and their families. It has been such a pleasure watching the team bloom under the challenge of the Tuesday menu each week.

This pho, this one is a banger. Thinly sliced lime leaves crown the top alongside eggs and chicken thigh slices. A side of salt, pepper and lime is a must to dip the slivers of meat into. Come sooth your soul next Tuesday. You won't want to miss it.
