    Come if you like duck! I love duck and really enjoyed the lighter tasting duck here with the soft noodles and savory broth.

    Others in our party who do not love duck didn’t really have many other choices. They had the poke belly rice and seemed to enjoy it.

    I also ordered the congee for my daughters and it was ok, didn’t love it.

    But I’s definitely recommend for duck lovers!

    Ordered the Dinner Special Half Duck for 2 people (including one pho and one porridge), the number 7 Co'm Vit (Duck with rice), and the number 6 Pho Mang Vit (Duck rice noodle bamboo shoot). The soup broths were noticeably salty which was unusual according to one of the people in our group; would recommend the restaurant to cut down on the salt. The duck broth elements were there but the soup was just too salty. I really enjoyed the porridge which was all you can eat with the Dinner Special option (pho is also an AYCE option too). The porridge had a nice smooth consistency and had hints of duck broth flavor in it; this also came with two blood cubes buried underneath which was a nice surprise if you like blood cubes. The pho noodles are alright but they do feel a bit firm and could do with softening up a bit more. The duck itself was well seasoned and had good flavor, I would say maybe some of the portions didn't have as much meat on them as we would have liked. Overall, this was a really great place to have a dinner with friends or larger groups. There is enough space in the booths and the tables for a family to enjoy a meal together. Service was very prompt and quick to help tend to any requests. Parking in this area can be busy but there is free street parking nearby too.

    I didn’t expect to like this place so much. The duck salad and porridge were a perfect light lunch and the chicken curry was decent too. Very friendly staff as well. Will definitely be back.

    Was really impressed with this family run shop. The food is pretty simple and straight forward, very clean and done really well. Just know this isn't your standard, familiar pho restaurant. It's a duck restaurant. It's really a duck broth restaurant that also serves the boiled duck meat and traditional Asian carbs/starch accompaniments with some additional dishes.

    If I haven't made it clear yet, the broth is the star of the show. It is pure, it's balanced, it's clean, it's so simple it might take you a bit to really appreciate it. But most won't just come for the broth so you can choose pho noodles (really good quality with nice chew), vermicelli, glass noodles, egg noodles, congee or rice to go with the broth as well as the boiled duck meat over a slaw salad with ginger sauce. You can also get a variation of any of the aforementioned with a duck and bamboo/menma broth that's a little earthier. For non duck eaters there's chicken curry as well as a spiced pork belly with sticky rice or banh mi.

    The restaurant itself is very clean, bright and staff was friendly and patient. If you aren't familiar with these type of Vietnamese/Chinese dishes it might be a bit of a leap of faith, but I highly recommend them and hope they stick around for a while even if it means it's have to wait for a table.

    This was the short-lived ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Huế, which was ok, but this is a nice welcome of change to try out. The decor hasn't changed, and is still the same.
    When we got our Phở Vịt, the duck meat over a bed of shredded cabbage came out first before the noodles in broth. For a minute, I thought I got something extra. That feeling of being special quickly faded though, when we realized we were supposed to throw that all into the bowl.
    But it's forgivable. Service was REALLY good. The owner was really attentive. The only gripe was I also ordered the Cháo Vịt (鴨粥) to go as well, but it wasn't ready when I got the bill. BUT I wasn't charged, so no harm no foul.

    The duck itself was brined. A little tough, compared to silky-smooth and soft chicken meat you may be used to. But the brine added just enough salt to it, and the sauce that comes with it has a nice combination of lime, dash of fish sauce, grounded up green onions and other ingredients. Made for a nice dip. Not bad. I hope these guys stick around.
