TOP It is easy to spend under $10 a head, unless you just can't decide and order too many dishes (in which case you are guaranteed to have enough left over for the next day!) Anyway, my 'don't miss' recommendations are: Fresh rice paper salad rolls with prawn and pork ($3.50), Caramelized pork ($9.00), Braised chicken with lemongrass and chilli ($8.50) and one of the chef's specials - Beef with Vietnamese Mint. Or for a traditional Vietnamese brunch why not try a bowl of Pho, which comes in several different flavours and starts from $6.00. YUM!

	Cnr Northbourne Ave & Alinga St Civic ACT 62305003 website

	HouRS	9:30am-10:30pm, 7 days
	SeaTiNG	150
	PRiCeS	Entrees from $2 - 4.50, large bowls of soup or noodles from $6, main meals from $6.
	FeaTuReS	Take-away, licensed, a new feature is their late night congee (a savoury rice porridge made with chicken etc)
	SeRViCe	Extremely quick service - blink and your food is there!
	PRoDuCT	QUALITY: Great. QUANTITY: Huge platefuls will be sure to satisfy.
	PReSeNTaTioN	A modern feel, with vibrant colours. A replica of a pagoda significant in Vietnam dominates the entrance.
	ReCoMMeNDaTioN TOP	The food is fresh, fast and plentiful! Vegetables are cooked to perfection - still with a hint of crunch, and the heat of chilli just right (if you don't like your nose and eyes watering in public!) We had Fresh Spring Rolls, Tofu and Vegetables with Red Sauce, Pork with Lemongrass and Chilli, and Steamed Rice for almost exactly $20 for two, and all were delicious!
