Family recipes unchanged since the 1970s, slow-simmered 18-hour bone broths, and the soul of a Saigonese family kitchen, reimagined in Adelaide by her grandson.

Guests Say

From Our Regulars

The broth is incredible — it genuinely feels like being back in Vietnam. My go-to in Adelaide.

Michael T.Google review

The bún bò huế is the real deal — not watered-down Vietnamese. Properly spiced, properly proper.

Sarah L.Google review

The cơm tấm took me straight back to Saigon. Tastes exactly like it should. Thank you, Bà Năm.
