The menu is organised into vermicelli salad bowls, bread rolls, rice bowls and stir-fried dishes. The salad bowls combine vermicelli noodles with lettuce, cucumber, herbs, bean sprouts, pickles, crushed peanuts and fish sauce, with choices including grilled chicken, red BBQ chicken, satay chicken, BBQ pork, pork chop, stir-fried beef, tofu and mushroom, and roast pork with crackling. The rice bowls follow a similar format with jasmine rice, cucumber, homemade pickles and fish sauce, giving diners the choice of chicken, pork, beef or a tofu-and-mushroom option.

For something handheld, the bread rolls are filled with a crunchy roll, Vietnamese aioli, cucumber, pickles, coriander, soy sauce and fresh chilli. Available fillings include grilled chicken, red BBQ chicken, satay chicken, BBQ pork, stir-fried beef, tofu and mushroom, and roast pork with crackling. The stir-fried section lets you pair a choice of protein with a sauce such as soy, satay, creamy garlic or black bean, alongside seasonal vegetables and a wok-heated flavour. Tofu, squid, king prawn and sliced beef are among the listed options, with jasmine rice or steamed Hokkien noodles available as carb choices.

There is enough variety here for mixed groups, while the tofu dishes provide a clearly listed meat-free choice. The menu also includes noodle soups, seasonal specials and extras, although the supplied online listing does not provide further detail for every section.
