New Vietnam - Auckland

Came here for lunch, and as i'm not a regular here i tried their best pho soup in takapuna as sign outside reads.How one judge vietnamese  dishes is via the flagship national dish. Noodles were of the thin gauge of 1mm not my favorite 3mm width and was quite small than average serving, like half a bowl. Guess i'm use to the generous servings from their Otahuhu rivals such as Sam Woo.But the entree i had, the sweet|sour deep fry tofu was a generous serving for 6 bucks, see pic.Keen to return to try the other dishes next in area.

Food was very well done : . Although my rare beef noodle soup seemed to lack actual beef, the flavour was very good. Waitress was very happy and smiled all the time : great customer service .

Probably the best dumplings around. If you haven't tried these fresh hand made daily dumplings you're missing out. Friendly service, good price.

Ambiance: Modern Decor with a clean streak of luxury and homeliness all in one. Warm, inviting, spacious. Comfortable.<br/ <br/ Service: Slightly below average with speed but above average with friendliness. Meals were served in a timely fashion, drinks were chilled and cutlery provided.<br/ <br/ Food: I tried the Hot and Sour soup as well as the Beef Pho. The soup was served hot and quickly. The flavours are rich and the serving is perfect as an appetizer as it gets the appetite ready for the main meal. Great development of broth flavour, not overwhelming to the palette. Lovely. Only negative is utilising canned pineapple, fresh pineapple may round this out perfectly.<br/ <br/ The Pho was served hot with accompanying lemon wedge and alfalfa sprouts. The broth was nice but could've used a lot more sourness from lime. The beef was tender but slightly confusing as I had pieces of brisket and other round pieces of what I believe was some form of processed beef, as it had a slightly spongy texture to it.

Love this place! They have a great lunchtime menu for $12 which is amazing value for the amount of food you get! The Singapore noodles in particular are fantastic, a nice spice without being too spicy. Been a few times to eat in and takeaway, and never disappointed with the food. Not open on a Tuesday though for a heads up.
