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.

And we were both super hungry after a pretty long day, so we decided to check out this place especially because the opening hours were at the same time we got on to the road looking for feeds. The salads are delicious! And the service was amazing. The young guy that was serving was mostly likely a newbie but he did a great job! We totally didn't die from all the crazy yucky stuff - but we both did a coma with leftovers for work the next day so a definite plus! Definitely will be back :D

We choose to visit Sun Chung Cafe upon the recommendation of the preview Yelp reviewer and almost…read moreregretted our decision when we got there. Sun Chung Cafe is just in a small complex of shops on Gympie Road and it looks run down! Like, really run down. There's hardly anywhere to sit inside, so you can tell they just focus on takeaways only. Dine in even incurs a 10% increase, so if the decor wasn't enough to discourage you, the price hike might. However, the meal prices were crazily cheap, so we stuck with it and WOW, am I glad we did! When we got home and opened those takeaway containers, the meals looked and smelt fantastic. We had ordered Lemon Chicken, Chicken special with ginger and shallot and Mongolian lamb. Lisa (previous reviewer) wasn't kidding about big succulent pieces of meat. The Lemon chicken was something spectacular and the chicken and lamb in the other two dishes were so tender and delicious. And so much food! The dishes were really generous sizes, and for less than $10 a dish! Sun Chung has definitely raced to the top of my Chinese Takeaway list - we ordered 3 dishes and large rice and paid just under $30! What a bargain!

I mean it wasn't like we we're being whisked away to China or anything. There were remnants that we were still in Arana Hills. Like the drunken Aussie tip rats on the other side of the room. I appreciate a BYO restaurant, but why do some people think is necessary to bring a bottle of Bundy Red? Anyway, the waiters were quick and service was friendly and our orders didn't take much time to turn around. For the appetisers, our spring rolls and din sums were cooked perfectly. Once those were finished it was another ten minutes until mains came out. Everything that was placed in front of us looked fresh and delectable. Everything from the stir-fry to the noodle dishes was delicious, even the fried rice was good enough to eat on its own. Not even the quasi-racist passively aggressive ranting of the she-tip-rat could ruin our meal. On our way out we thanks the owner for the food, and he apologised for the tip rats. Apparently they're regulars.

It's probably not great if…read moreyou're looking for a phenomenal dine in experience, but if you want some sort of Asian take away and your partner wants KFC or HJ's which is just yonder, it works well. Tonight I paid, $17.50 for take away Chicken Almond & a small steamed rice that is an appropriate portion for one hungry adult or two not so hungry adults. Is it just me or does that seem excessive? Don't get me wrong, I was really hungry and still have half the stir fry left, but still, I found it a little more pricey than what I'm used to. The almonds were halved, well roasted but certainly not plentiful enough to justify sharing the title. The chicken was cooked well. The vegetables in the mix were a combination of incredibly under and over over cooked. The most exciting and mind blowing aspect of this dish, was the sauce and it's complete lack of flavour! How'd they do it? Even the the ingredients natural sweetness had been eliminated! Probably the blandest tasting stir fry I have ever had! Fascinating. Needless to say, I had to add spices to it to sass it up a little bit. The rice was prepared well. The service was quick and the staff were easy to deal with. The restaurant itself, seems to be a clean and pleasant establishment. I'd like to eat in and update this review and some point. I really feel like there is a lot more they can do, although consistency is important in my book.

The service is always good. You never have to wait long for your meal, which is always served piping hot and packed full of fresh ingredients - perfection! The restaurant does take-out or if you prefer dine in. The meals are moderately priced at between $15 and $25 each. Dining in is always a pleasant experience, beautiful décor, light, Asian inspired background music and friendly staff. My recommendations are the Tofu basil, big chunks of crispy golden tofu, stir-fried with fresh basil, spicy chilli and mixed vegetables or the Tempura vegetables which are served with a sweet chilli sauce - bon a petit!

Brilliant, whoever came up with those names, I love it. So when I was puttling around the northside of Brisbane, didn't even know that there was a suburb called Gaythorne by the way, and when my boyfriend now husband at the time told me, I actually asked him if he was joking. True story. So being fans of the Thai cuisine, I was out to search for a mean Pad Thai, my weakness. Always with chicken. Amazing Thai sits perfectly on the corner of Samford and Gaythorne road. The owner is this cute little Thai lady who really does do everything. There are a few wait staff sometimes, but the shop isn't that big and they can get away with just 1 or 2 extras on busy nights. The Money Bags in this place was my first experience. The water chestnuts, the minced chicken meat, the crunchy fresh ingredients wow. Then we had the Pad Thai, a Green Curry with Chicken and a Beef Stirfry. There is a difference between throwing things into a mess together and frying them at a high heat to throwing the ingredients at the right times to make the perfect flavour and combination. Amazing Thai do serve amazing food. The food tastes fresh, tastes quality and tastes like Thailand. You can usually get a table here, but on a busy night, try making a booking first as the restaurant only seats a small amount of people. True to their name, gold star all the way.

There is plenty of parking in this complex and Thai Ayuthaya has lots of room inside and outside for patrons. We sat outside for lunch today, and were almost the only ones there. That's not to say the quality of this food isn't good - it is! We ordered from the lunch menu which has a range of noodle, rice, curry and stir fry dishes for only $10.90 (Vegetarian/Chicken/Beef/Pork) or $14.90 (Prawn/Seafood) We had the Panang Curry and the Rice + Stir fried with Cashew Nuts. Both meals were super tasty! The Panang had a nice amount of spice to it and the dishes were actually quite large portions. Sometimes these lunch specials mean you only get a small serve of the curry or stir fry but Thai Ayuthaya serves up a hearty portion. I've ordered takeaway from here a few times now and have always been impressed by the quality and price of the food. I've noticed that the dine-in menu is a bit more expensive than the takeaway menu, but I guess you're paying for the atmosphere and attentive staff. Our waitress was very lovely and attentive all during our lunch.

The buffets are finished now and that is a great thing because the food on the a-la-carte menu is really good. We ordered a Tandoori platter and a couple of vegetarian curries which were excellent and a cut above the average Indian curries which usually taste the same. We found pieces of cinnamon and cardomom pods in the sauce and the naan were actually cooked in the tandoor oven. The poppadoms and rice are complimentary too which we really appreciate after paying as much as $5 for a small serve of rice. BYO is a plus too! 29 April 2017 We've been a few times for the Friday and Saturday night buffet, which at $20 per head is really good value for money. The curries are too a bit too mild for our taste (more suited to the Australian palate) and we don't think that they are cooking the tandoori chicken and naan in the tandoor oven any more. We probably won't go back again!

The service is friendly and the wait staff are excellent with small details like keeping your water and wine glasses filled up. The restaurant is comfortable and is elegantly decked out in red and yellow. It makes for a lively eating environment. They've got most of your classic Indian dishes here. The great part is that if you want something that's not on the menu, if they've got the right ingredients, they're happy to make it for you (at least this has been my experience). The Bhoona Beef ($15.90) and the Chicken Jalfrezi ($16.50) are highly recommended. Just to let you know, there is also Goat Curry ($18.50) which is divine, if you like caprine flesh. Wynnum Road has a few places that make for good eating, but in my humble estimation Scherhazade's guarantees you the best bang for your buck.
