Came for dinner with a couple friends. The service was nice, staff were lovely and attentive when needed.
Of course we ordered the flaming coconut prawn curry. This is definitely more for the novelty, price is a little high for the portion otherwise but the curry was really flavourful and heaps of prawns. The papaya salad was really flavourful and fresh, I would recommend this one too. Fried spring rolls were good but a little small. Shaking beef was good but a little basic personally, I wouldn’t order it again here. Overall we enjoyed the food though!
Lovely respondent with good vibes. The food was tasty and full of different flavors. The speed was okay, and staff was friendly. Some dishes are smaller in portions than I thought.
The best Vietnamese restaurant ever!!! The pork ribs as an appetite shows strongest and most delicious flavor! The prawns are great but I prefer ribs more^^
This restaurant has a very attractive ambience with its Vietnam themed decoration. The dishes are very well presented and they taste as good as they look. The stars of the show for me are the Fish Green Curry and the Caramelized Pork Belly - both go very well with steamed rice. There were 6 of us and we had a good time dining and mingling.
Atmosphere is good. Quiet. Pho is quite good but could be better. Remember to ask for fish sauce and homemade vinegar. Wheelchair cannot access (probably)
First time trying here for a late valentines celebration. We had the pork papaya salad, fish green curry and sizzling coconut prawn. The pork papaya salad was very nice, it has nice acidity and the pork belly was grilled nicely, definitely a good appetizing dish. Main was the green curry and the sizzling prawn. The green curry was very creamy and lots of flavour, really enjoyed that the most. The sizzling prawn came out looking quite nice with the flame, flavour wise I think was pretty average. The sauce tasted quite plain and the prawn had good texture (kinda like the ones you can buy from supermarket) but doesn't have the fresh seafood sweetness after taste. Also they could have given the prawn more char flavour to make it taste better. So overall I liked 2 of the 3 dishes we ordered.
Also to note, service is quite fast here. Price is on the upper side, so a nice treat or date idea here.
We loved the atmosphere and the food. Very tasty and decent sized portions. The service was also very good, very friendly and fast.
That’s actually maybe the only point I found strange, the food was ready so fast that the starters came after the mains… still not a problem but a bit strange.
Very cool vibe. We enjoyed the drinks and the food. Coconut prawn and scallops are highly recommended. Vietnamese coffee is just right.
The vibe inside is great and comfortable, perfect for a long dinner with friends. Enjoyed my meal
Linh served us and I am not joking, it was the best service I have ever received!! Honestly, she was just fantastic. The food was delicious too. What a great place, we will be back!
If you love Vietnamese cuisine, you must come and try this. The food are just delicious, authentic plus beautiful Vietnam style furniture, decorations. Right in the heart of Parnell.
We’ve enjoyed every dish we ordered. Strongly recommend the pork skewers - juicy and full of flavour. The prawn curry was also very smooth and rich, the lemongrass and lime goes really well together.
Service can be very up and down depending on the staff working. The first time we went, the service was absolutely amazing. The waitress was so professional and advised us how much to order so that we didn’t order more than we needed. The other times, the waitress either missed out order or ordered the wrong quantity.
Lovely ambience and good food. Portion size is not as big as many other Vietnamese restaurants but was good enough for me. Broth was mild but deep which I enjoyed. Would come back to try other menus that other restaurants seldom have.
Pho here is pretty good. Noodle portion was a little less than other Vietnamese restaurants but the portion of meat was generous. I have enjoyed the tenderness of the raw beef and they clear broth (none of those yucky cloudy soup some restaurants serve). I think considering the amount of meat given, $20 for the Pho is good value. The grilled squid on the other hand was a little stingy in portion. While it is listed as entree, I felt that for$20 there could have been a few more slices of squid. Ambience was good and staffs were friendly. Overall good experience.
Just had a very pleasant meal at NEM Vietnamese fusion house in Parnell. I myself is not a big fan of Vietnamese cuisine but this place has completely changes my view. Staff was very attentive and helpful, especially Linh, very lovely person, totally made our day! What a great way to end the busy week. We ordered the flaming coconut prawn 🥥 , Sun bathing duck (crispy duck), beef pho, lemon grass chicken. We also had the fried spring roll for entree. Surprisingly everything was scrumptious, the crispy duck was definitely the highlight of the meal. Love the Vietnamese ice coffee too. SO GOOD. Highly recommended and will be back with more friends and family ✨🔥😝 #nemvietnamese #annieeats_ #aucklandeats
My experience dining here was wonderful, although the portion sizes did not fuel me up. The food was delicious. The flavours and service was spot on. I would recommend a group of 4 max, just because of the limited space. Their is sitting arrangements in the front of the restaurant and a beautiful displayed back yard, with sittings.
The fresh scallop , Tasty pork skewers, delicious shaking Beef and flaming prawn all Surprised us, very beautiful and tasty! Definitely go to have lunch and dinner again!
