Since that fateful day, I make sure to swing by whenever I'm in the city. I think the vietnamese cuisine is built for the heat of Brisbane, Cool light and refreshing I always leave feeling satisfied. What I love about the menu in this little store is that everything is really fresh. If you are lurking around the centre I HIGHLY recommend you not leave before buying 2 or 3 rice paper rolls and perhaps a chicken lemongrass noodle salad.

As far as food court food goes, I love the food at Viet D'lish. It is fresh, light, cheap and…read moretasty. The only downside is that they seriously need to improve their menu presentation as it is the most confusing menu I have seen in a long time. The menu at the place is all scattered on A4 print outs taped to the wall; all in different fonts. I had to do a lap around the store to pick out what I wanted to eat. Wouldn't it be easier and legible to have everything written on one poster? Appearances aside, Viet D'lish offer surprisingly good dishes for the price. Their pho soup is not as good as some restaurants, but for a fragment of the price, you can't complain. If you are a fan of Vietnamese food and just so happen to find yourself in the Myer centre during lunch time, I would suggest you go to Viet D'lish for lunch.

This small Vietnamese/ Chinese restaurant is Darra's buried treasure. Unfortunately, this place…read moregets overlooked, however, I would suggest trying before judging. Many of the locals in Darra are of Vietnamese background and many dine here, which for me, cements the fact that food here is kept purely authentic and not modified to suit Western tastes. They are very generous with their servings, so it's a great place to share meals with your friends and family or just take leftovers home to have for lunch the next day. I have tried many dishes on their menu, including seafood and all were fresh and delicious. I highly recommend the 'Soft Shell Crab', 'Mud Crab' and the 'Rice Paper Rolls'. Bare in mind, you may experience a language barrier if you don't speak Vietnamese, but this shouldn't be a problem, it just makes the whole experience more authentic. They place itself is not very attractive and ambience is lacking- but it's not the sort of place you expect it, so I didn't mind. If no one had recommended I try it, then I wouldn't have gone based on aesthetics. But if you are a real foodie wanting to try the closest thing to eating in Vietnam yourself, then this place should be added to your list.

This quaint little joint has in the past few years changed some yelping ownership. The new owners…read moreseem to pride themselves on friendly (sometimes over friendly) service coupled with food that literally comes out in a jiffy. Every table has a box of tissues, cutlery and other convenient condiments like your chilli paste, soy sauce, fish sauce and what have you. The steamed dim sims are a good fresh starter, generous in portions. We tried the salt and pepper calamari and pho noodles. They came out so quickly it was as if they were already prepared... at least they were hot. The Vietnamese deep fried spring rolls tasted like they were from a frozen pack. While the food is satisfactory, there is a difference between fresh and cooked frozen... not making any judgements here, but although the food is relatively cheap and easy on the palette, It's not going to be my first choice by any means.

I came here on accident. I actually meant to walk into Rice, Paper, Scissors on my lunch break but…read moreclearly the heat and humidity of Brisbane got to my head that day and I found myself two doors down. Well, I couldn't walk out at that point when the cute Asian man holding a wok greeted me. I was pretty surprised at the large menu on the board, a little bit more surprised at the prices ($10-14 for meals.) oh well, I decided. I was at the point of hangryness and a teriyaki meal sounded perfect. I had a hard decision between the Teriyaki chicken and the pad Thai but I decided to really broaden my horizons and go with the teriyaki ;) Mind you, I was the only person in here. The old man was the only cook. I was cool with that. The man didn't speak English very well but was very pleasant. He put up a "5" with his hands! Awesome! only 5 more minutes of hangryness. I watched as all the fresh veggies, noodles, and chicken were cooked in the wok. It smelled delicious. 5 minutes was pretty accurate. I walked out paying $18, $13 for the meal (large) and a drink. The large box was actually too much, I stuffed my face and still had leftovers. The taste was alright, the chicken was a little bit dry but still edible. Then again, I wasn't in a very picky mood. Because this place is right up the road from my work, I'll definitely come back on another lunch break and give some other items a try!

If you want to eat in, you eat on the tiny deck; it's pretty intimate, and quite pretty at night, or you can get takeaway of course. Well, the prices are pretty decent, although serving sizes are a little small, so that balances it out. But why two stars? I ordered honey chicken and fried rice. It's about the only Chinese food i'll eat, but sometimes I really crave it. The honey chicken was not great. Pretty bland really. The fried rice... well you could taste the lashings of MSG, and not much else. I now feel sick, and will be throwing out the leftovers I had planned to take for lunch tomorrow. It gets more than one star because I think the balcony is pretty at night.

However I prefer going to Sunnybank since I find that the food is much better and the prices are lower (the service in Sunnybank restaurants though is usually abysmal).

You won't be disappointed going to this restaurant, but if you've recently visited Thailand I wouldn't recommend a visit right away!

Hotel Bravo has only ever struck me as a place for after-work/dinner drinks and never as a place I…read morewould spend a large portion of a night out. Still, when I'm not in the mood for silly antics and carefree dancing, I suppose Hotel Bravo would be an ideal sort of place. It's an ideal setting for a group of people who want to sit and enjoy a few drinks and some light banter after a hard day's work. This place strikes me as more of a "conversationalist place" without the air of snobbery that comes with some cocktail bars where only a dull whisper is acceptable. Bravo has a great range of beer on tap and some wild cocktail concoctions I have never seen before, so maybe I'm a little naïve in my opinion of it being a more controlled environment. Still, I feel it's a place to sling back a few beers, have a chat with mates, and either push on to a wilder destination or call it a night. Either way, it makes for a pretty good pit stop you can just wander in to along Brunswick Street.

Personally I prefer ordering a few tapas items as compared to getting just one main. The crispy fried potatoes with chilli & tomato + sour cream are always good, and they do some really nice fresh Pacific oysters. These guys do some good mid week specials.

I had a pearl milk tea at the place before, which was decent, and so I hoped the food was just the same. We decided to go 'family style' and order four dishes and a soup, a very typical ordering style, which is actually pretty perfect for five people. We got the sweet and sour soup), string beans with minced meat (), fried tofu (), Taiwanese pan fried noodles (), and Three-Cup Chicken (). The fried tofu and the soup were made pretty well and close to what I can find in Taiwan, but the noodles and string beans were just ok, with the three-cup chicken being my least favorite. It didn't have much of a sesame oil flavor, which is integral to the course, and the chicken was also breaded by something - which isn't usually done traditionally. Their drinks are not bad, and I would recommend it over Sakuraya's pearl tea drinks. The food was plenty for five, and came out to 11.5 per person, which isn't bad for how much food we got. It wasn't purely authentic, but it was decent for Brisbane, and if I lived any closer - I would probably return.

Lucky for me they also serve meals like teriyaki chicken and chicken katsu curry. When you go there, don't be surprised that the cabinet is empty, everything has already been sold. That shouldn't matter anyway, cause the best meals from Tsuru are always served freshly made. Simply, the cooks are always under the pump, especially on weekends when the line up goes out the door. For those wanting to sit down for a feed I recommend getting a seat on one of the street tables as the inside has limited space and gets pretty crowded at a rush time. That's why I would recommend ordering ahead and bring it home. As mentioned before, I'm not a big sushi fan. However I do make an exception for Tsuru. Sometimes if my wife moves away from the table for a minute, upon her return she'll notice a roll missing and a sly smile across my face. If you're more into your hot meals definitely get a serving of the steamed and salted soy beans and a serving of katsu curry, its one of the best I've tasted in Brisbane.
