Cute Vietnam cafe
Lela T.

This is a great Vietnamese cafe. The setting is very fresh and open, but nothing too fancy. We went there on a summer afternoon during a lunch rush. We had a beef bah mi and a vermicelli prawn bowl. The bah mi was really good, on a thin french baguette the meat was really tender and juicy. Definitely a great bah mi. The vermicelli bowl was good as well, although the noodle were not thin vermicelli noodles. Were here thicker, which is no biggie but don't be fooled by the name. The prawns were cooked perfectly, nice and juicy with lots of flavor. Whangarei has some great restaurants and Mean's Cafe is a great addition.

Restaurant and menus are little confusing. It is like 3 places mixed in one which worked out for…read moremy partner and I - bar-ish foods, viet food, and also ice cream. It was very busy with the 3 places in one so there was little seating space, so we just ordered take out. They quoted a 20 minute wait so we went across the street to order a drink but it was ready in much less time than quoted (approx 10 min). My partner ordered fish and chips and I got the lemongrass chili chicken on vermicelli. My partner thought the fish and chips wasn't bad and I enjoyed the flavor of the fish sauce on the vermicelli but the chicken was a little dry.

Viet Q Foods brings a bit of international flavour to the Matakana Farmers markets every Saturday…read moremorning. Vegetarian, prawn, and pork/ prawn rice rolls are made freshly in the morning down the road from the market, and are sold with either oyster or fish sauce. The herbs in the rolls especially make these a taste of Vietnam, as they are Vietnamese herbs grown by the friendly business owners themselves as they are very difficult to find usually in New Zealand. Pork steamed buns are also available, and all the meat used in the fare is free farmed or free range. Viet Q Foods offer cooking classes if you are keen to learn how to make your own, or alternatively catering services if you want a taste of Vietnam at your next event.
