Somewhere On Buderim - Buderim, Queensland

The chicken pho is a flavorful bowl with a broth that is light yet rich, infused with an aromatic blend of herbs. The rice noodles are soft but not mushy, giving the soup a great texture. It’s a wholesome, warm meal that feels both nourishing and delicious, ideal for a light lunch or dinner. The chicken salad is a refreshing, healthy option that doesn't skimp on flavor. The chicken is juicy and well-seasoned, paired with crisp veggies like lettuce, cucumber, and carrots, all topped with a light, tangy dressing that ties everything together nicely.

The staff lacked communication and could benefit from additional training. For the price, the portions were quite small. The staff was also inflexible—when we ordered pho for five people, we received only a small plate with bean sprouts and just five basil leaves…

Updated reply:

We understand that the new staff member is still learning, and we were patient with her situation. It was clear she was new, and we didn’t hold that against her. However, the bigger issue lies with the overall experience, particularly the staff member at the counter. They made us feel unwelcome and uninterested in serving us, which left a bad impression. We didn’t expect them to speak Vietnamese, as we are perfectly fine with ordering in English, but their attitude made us uncomfortable.

As Vietnamese ourselves, we also felt that the food was not authentic, which added to the disappointment. But this feedback is mostly about the service—something that needs serious improvement across the board, not just with the new staff.

Main point here is our feedback was not about the new staff member, and we understood her situation. However, the real issue we raised—like receiving just five basil leaves for a dish ordered for five people—was completely ignored in your response. Mentioning the new staff member feels like an excuse to deflect from the actual problem. We were not directing our feedback toward her, but rather toward the overall service

Love this place.
Return 3 times these few weeks.
Food is good, it's just cold to sit outside.
Taro and prawn spring rolls are creative and delicious.
Lemongrass beef fresh spring roll is nice and fragrant.
Double pork chop got nice char-grilled flavour.
Fried chicken is good.

Will return.

Love this Vietnamese cafe that serves really fresh food! We ordered the Crispy prawn pancake (love the fresh prawns and greens! The pancake was crispy and thin), the grilled chicken paper rice roll was well balanced with greens and vermicelli and chicken was grilled with lemongrass to give it a smoky taste! The Vietnamese white ice coffee was so authentic! A must to order as well! The staff members were friendly and food was served pretty fast and hot!

The food was good and ok but my order was wrong. I ordered shrimp and chicken spring rolls but only received shrimp, which made my first experience at the restaurant terrible.

Up there with one of the best crispy pork pork rolls I’ve ever had, and that’s coming from a city boy who’s been to Vietnam 3 times. Viet coffee goes off too. Leagues ahead of the slightly cheaper bakery around the corner.
