A tiny nice and cozy Vietnamese restaurant. Vegetarian spring roll was nice and beef and beef ball pho was good too but for some reason felt like soup did not had much flavor to it but I added the sauces in it and it was too good that I had the whole bowel. My partner had the chicken and beef pho and it was nice too. I recon if they could spice up the soup a little bit more then it will be amazing. Over all good experience and would definitely recommend to try.

This was our second visit after a really long time and the experience was as good as the previous one. This place specializes in Vietnamese street style food and it's beautiful....which is a value for money. The hospitality was warm and quite quick.

Nice place. There were quite a number of people outside so had mine in. Nice deco with funky wall illustrations (which I loved), although the my table could've been cleaned a bit better (it was sticky), although the place was quite clean. I ordered wonton noodle soup which was good for the price. The wontons were well prepared and juicy. The egg noodles were fresh as was the soup. I did miss the kick from this item, so cutting a ⭐️ here. Nonetheless, a fun place with nice ambiance and decent food. Worth exploring again in the future.

Hawker Boys was a Vietnamese restaurant serving modern Vietnamese cuisine. We ordered a bunch of different dishes and my favourite was the pork belly/spring roll vermicelli noodle bowl; the pork was crispy and so were the spring rolls. The Vietnamese fried chicken looked really good but it was a bit bland. The rest of the dishes were just ok. Service was pretty friendly, and the venue was not spacious but the overall ambiance remained cosy.

Very fresh beef and prawns in the beef pho and Vietnamese rolls. A hearty meal that hits the spot during winter. However, I found both dishes to be slightly lacking in flavor/herbs.

My new favourite Vietnamese restaurant and go to Pho place in the CBD! I had the Saigon beef pho which was fresh, delicious and the broth was amazing! The wontons are also a must try!

Most disappointing Pho I've ever had delivered to my doorstep. Instead of traditional pho broth, this tasted like diluted chicken stock. No Asian herbs, no chili. Just a bag of bean sprouts, with a tiny slice of lemon. The broth was delivered in a half-size container, and the noodles were a kids portion. The only positive I can say is that the chicken pieces were good and the bean sprouts were fresh. Overall, nothing like the photos or other reviews.

This little restaurant is located in a small lane just off of Lonsdale Street. If you're looking to eat out during the day or the night (highly recommend the night for the aesthetically pleasing atmosphere of the city and the lane with all the other restaurants as well) you must stop by and come here!! I've come here only twice and have enjoyed every moment of being inside the restaurant. The staff who work here are very thoughtful and kind, you can do a walk in or choose to book a reservation for either indoor or outdoor seating. The food options are great and cater to the majority of dietary requirements. Another great part about this place is that the portion sizes are so reasonable and so are the prices!! In the pictures that I've attached, the dishes displayed are the chicken rice paper rolls, siagon beef pho, and the pork with rice dish. Definitely delish!!
