In addition to the tasty food, I had a lovely chat with the restaurant owner about how life can be challenging sometimes. We also had a great conversation about the fresh juice she usually makes. I really appreciate it when people are real and authentic — and she truly was.

I just have to say — this is the best restaurant in Hobart! It was my first time there, and everything was absolutely delicious. The wontons tasted just like the ones my grandma used to make, so comforting and full of flavor. What I love the most is that every dish tastes fresh, like the soup is made from real ingredients instead of being loaded with seasoning or MSG. I’ve tried other Vietnamese restaurants before, but their soups were often too salty and made me super thirsty afterwards. Here, it’s totally different — the broth is light, rich, and perfectly balanced. It was such a cold day, but I happily finished every drop! We ordered three main dishes and one entrée for two people, and we ate everything — even though we were so full! That’s how good it was. Definitely my favorite place now.

It's my first time trying pho here. I love their special spicy pho. Combination of everything . The fish sauce that comes with chicken wings is also nice. Lovely owner lady too . It will be my favourite restaurant for sure!

I've been to this restaurant many times as it's my favourite Vietnamese restaurant. Delicious meals. A previous reviewer said white people get table service. Not true. As a whitey, my family and I have always had to order and pay upfront at the counter. We obtained our own water and cutlery also. Back once again, they aren't stingy on the prawns in their garlic prawn with veg stir fry, fully recommend. Tasty duck too. I'm loving all the hydro plants.

I want to compliment the friendly and helpful attitude of the waitress at Vina Yummy kitchen .She recommended the pork noodle soup, which was absolutely delicious, especially the flavourful broth. Both my child and I enjoyed it very much. She also really liked the noodles herself. It's definitely worth recommending, and we will order this soup again next time.
