Vietnamese Mint is practically my second home. Service is friendly, and the menu is simple, affordable, and always delicious. Sides are $6, Mains (soups and rice dishes), come in Regular $10 or Large $12, and they also offer "ice cream" for $4. Have been here many times, and have always come away satisfied and feeling full. On the occasion that I am more inclined to "take-away", it's best to ring ahead, and your order will be ready in no time to be picked up. My favourite dishes, are the regular Chicken Noodle Soup, the Lemongrass chicken salad, Vietnamese spring rolls, and the Lemongrass marinated porkchop with rice, spring rolls, salad, & fried egg (for only $12). The latter dish is a "special" so it may not become permanent on the menu. I think the word is slowly getting out, that this place is great value, and serves amazing food, because it does appear a lot busier (albeit slowly) that when I first came here when it opened. I feel lucky to have a place I can rely on to never disappoint. Vietnamese mint rocks!

This is not fine dining so don't expect any glamour, however this place does honest, great value Vietnamese food. Tonight my wife and I ordered the chicken rice paper rolls, the Vietnamese spring rolls, the chicken noodle soup, and the spring rolls vermicelli salad. All dishes were tasty, and we have a enough left over for lunch for me for tomorrow :). What I really liked was being provided with bean shoots, fresh lime, and fresh basil in a separate bag with the soup as this added a real zing. Also they had home made chilli sauce that you could pack and take home. This is the type of place you definitely want to see stick around - the guys that work there are quick and really down to earth so please give this place a try.

I opted for the vegetarian Bahn Mi, a Vietnamese sandwich with pickled vegetables and marinated tofu on a french baguette roll, an absolute bargain at only $5 (meat versions are $7)! It was tasty, but as far as Bahn Mi's go, it was just about average - the tofu was a bit overcooked and it could have used a bit more pickled veggies in my opinion, but the bread tasted extremely fresh. Spending so little on my sandwich I felt free to order some rice paper rolls which came with a delectable peanut sauce (w/ optional chilies). Great spot for a quick lunch on the cheap. A bit of a positive rant: I'm really happy that this place charges the appropriate price for the vegetarian option, which usually involves cheaper ingredients. Most restaurants take advantage of vegetarian clientele by charging the same (or even higher) prices for a veggie option that costs less to make. I'm not vegetarian, but good on this place for not price gouging the vegetarians.

They do tend to cram a lot of tables into the joint, but to experience the food and the 'Ben's Restaurant Experience' like it should be experienced, you need to go there on a Friday or Saturday night and stay past 9pm. They have KARAOKE people!!! It's so much fun and it makes the place come alive. From the hours of 9pm to 11:30pm on a Friday and Saturday night, you can get up there and try out your singing voice in front of the restaurant. You can pick your song and be a star, or be boo'd off stage. Hey listen, I got up there with my friend and we were terrible and people still cheered us on! I think the worse the singer you are, the more cheer you got. A verrrry good incentive for those shy ones! So yes, the food is very tasty, especially the deep fried beef strips in peking sauce... oh so yum. But visit for the karaoke... not many chinese restaurants do this... and it's worth a shot!

Their vietnamese basics are excellent - a great selection of rice paper rolls as well as salads and good pho - although I'd generally say their non-vietnamese selection (laksa etc) is average, good but not great. It can get quite busy around lunch time, but the queues move fast. If you're lucky you can get a seat and table in Rowes Arcade, which is far nicer than the Post Office Square food court, but even better is to head up to the Post Office Square park area and enjoy some sunshine on your lunch break.

Two highlight items for me were the Sweet & Sour Nuggets and Choc Frappe - so good! Coconut cream on top. I could pass on B.B.Q buns, but not bad! The menu has soo much to choose from, can't wait to discover more favourites! P.s. The atmosphere is very casual. Overall, a HUGE shoutout to Loving Hut, it's so nice having peace of mind that everything is vegan and can choose any option on the menu. Check out the meaty texture in the picture, WOW.

Possessing all the markers of a well-run business, this Vietnamese cafe is likely to become a…read moresomewhat regular haunt for me. Fairly recently, they introduced a new menu, which should provide an example for any non-vegetarian restaurant on how to cater to vegetarians: a full vegan menu, and care taken with other dishes to note where and when problem ingredients like fish sauce might appear, and offering viable substitutes. The dishes I've tried have been craveably good, exemplifying the freshness and balance of flavors one expects from Vietnamese cuisine. The drinks, likewise, are the sort of thing that encourages one to spend too much money, notably a delicious lemonade soda and an array of smoothies. And I haven't even tried their pho. There are drawbacks, enough for me not to rate them five stars yet. It has been quite crowded when I've visited, which is not a bad sign and which they handle reasonably well, but which nonetheless can lead to some delays. I'm not wild about the location; it's a bit farther in the suburbs than I'd like to go and not close to either the busway or the trains, though the best places often are farther out. And despite their extensive new vegan lunch menu, they don't seem to offer it for breakfast, which disincentivizes me from coming early.

Be careful if you have allergies!! I had the chicken vermicelli salad. It was nice, but no nicer…read morethan Pho Inn at camp hill. I have had a terrible allergic reaction. I have allergies to crustaceans. It shouldn't have been in my dish but clearly it was. My best guess is they aren't clean in the kitchen, nor do they follow the food safety and hygiene guides and contamination happens through use of the same utensils. Maybe no washing of hands between handling seafood and chicken?? Or using the same pans and/or bowls with cross contamination, and/or not cleaning in between??. I'm not overly sensitive and therefore dine at many Vietnamese and other Asian restaurants. This has never happened to me as I always read the ingredients contained in the dish. So my advice- avoid the place if you have severe allergies (photo is of my eyes completely open), and regardless- others should take note that things might not be as great behind the scenes at this place, even though you can see through to the kitchen! Also, they charged us a public holiday 15% surcharge even though it wasn't a public holiday. It's not on the menu or advertised but they must charge 15% for Sundays. Only explanation. I will ring them to enquire when they open back up on Tuesday
