PReSeNTaTioN Quite new, view over parts of Belconnen gives something to look at.

ReCoMMeNDaTioN

TOP Try the Cambodian! (and then tell me what it was like!) The rice paper rolls weren't quite how I like them, and everything else was nice but not the best Vietnamese I've had in Canberra. A decent feed for an OK price, and a good place for a group meal.

	HouRS	DINNER: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday - 5 - 9:30pm; - Wednesday, Thursday 5 - 10pm; Friday, Saturday 5 - 11pm
	SeaTiNG	around 40 - 50 people
	PRiCeS	Entrees & soups from 2.20, meat & vegie dishes from 7.50, seafood from 8.50, rice from 1.00.
	FeaTuReS	BYO ($1 corkage), take-away, lunch by prior arrangement.
	SeRViCe	Average service, although the owner seemed on friendly terms with patrons. One of the dishes failed to materialise.
	PRoDuCT	QUALITY: Average, although there was a distinct lack of Vietnamese favourites. QUANTITY: Quite good.
	PReSeNTaTioN	About what you'd expect in a run down suburban shopping centre (Canberra's littered with these!), and for a Vietnamese restaurant.
	ReCoMMeNDaTioN TOP	There's certainly a lot of better Vietnamese restaurants for a similar price. Most disappointing was the lack of my traditional favourites - pho, fresh spring rolls etc. Vegetables in sate sauce were nice, but overpriced. NB: comment from Karen - I thought Geoff was being very nice in this review! I would have been far more scathing!
