Vietnam Cafe, Otahuhu

Hey everyone, sorry about the lag in blog posts. I lost my phone cable and still need to buy a new one therefore things have just been really slow. Anehoos I found a new way of saving photos to my computer which is by sending them to Facebook and then downloading them from Facebook to my computer. Hoorah for smart phones!

Today's blog post is about Vietnam Cafe in Otahuhu. This place is by far Josh and my absolute most favourite restaurant in Auckland... okay, okay, one of! There is nothing fancy about the place, no decor, music or flowing curtains. All it possesses is a huge room with loads of tables and amazing food! Josh and I love rice noodle soup, the vietnamese ones in particular. We have been to plenty of vietnamese restaurants and they can never compare with the Vietnam Cafe.

I first heard about this restaurant from Josh in fact. He was always raving about it so one day I decided to trust his taste buds and give it a go. I never turned back since.

These days, rice noodle soup from Vietnam Cafe is our medicine for a cold and stormy day. We eat there almost every week even though it takes us about a 20 minute drive. It is that worth it. We are there so often that even the patrons know us and knows what I will order (Chicken rice noodle soup).

The portion of the dish is always generous and the food comes out very speedily. What's also great is if you're very hungry, you can order an extra bowl of noodles for just $2 (I THINK) and leave with a happy tummy. Cost wise they are very reasonable with just $10 per bowl.

They recently also added fortune cookies to their counter and you can get 3 cookies for $1. Josh and I always get a handful (like 10 of them), sit at the table or in the car on the way home and have so much fun opening the cookie up and reading the fortunes. We always have so much laughs and at the same time get to snack on the deliciousness that is the cookie. Nom nom!

Vietnam Cafe also has lots of parking at the back of the restaurant so you can invite your whole family and extended family and their extended family. Only downside is the restaurant isn't very pretty and could use a clean up but the food makes up for it.

I highly recommend this restaurant, you won't regret it. Great food, great service and great pricing, that's hard to find! Get ready for some good old fashion, simple, home remedy, hot, tasty noodles! oh and yes they do have many other dishes on the menu but I wouldn't know since I always order the same thing. But Josh has tried many of their dishes and love them all!

Overall rating: 5/5 Excellent service, food, convenience, great value for price
