Had dinner tonight at NNQ! Wow the place was pumping. We had a big group of people so booked a table. Thank goodness because at 7pm there’s a line up out the door with people who hadn’t bothered making a reservation! You know this place is good when it’s a massive building with two levels packed to the brim with a line up out the door!
MAKE A RESERVATION ADELAIDE PEOPLE !!
Ordered entrée vegetarian spring rolls — crispy & delicious filled with what looks like tofu mushrooms and other spring roll gizzards — delicious! 3 rolls serviced with sweet chilli sauce $ 5 (cheap!!)
We shared the mains of salt & pepper oyster mushroom ($ 16), vegetarian special friend rice ($ 12) stir fry prawns with mixed vegetables ($ 20)
I wish I could tell you that exactly how great all the dishes here are but we couldn’t try everything — the menu even for Vegos is great with at least 9 separate main meals and other included in different parts of the menu !!! And just for that I would like to say thank you! It would take you forever to try everything on their full menu but believe me if its as good as the dishes we tried tonight — you can’t go wrong.
They have a delightful smoothie menu too with some interesting options — the custard Apple smoothie being a fav amongst the group!
Tip — some main dishes are in our group can came out in traditional Vietnamese style — so prepared to enjoy it the way the Vietnamese do ;) if your interested (or scared) in trying new things check with the waiters about how your meal will be served before ordering
Warning — the veggie meal servings we had were huge!!! We shared and thank goodness we did — there was more than enough to go around.
Our food — fresh, hot, tasty!
Our waiters — funny, helpful, attentive — knowledgeable
Venue — inviting, modern with authentic touches
Prices — vary but mostly very well priced
Service — considering it was Saturday night & two levels full of diners — everything came out in good time
Bugbear
***Only one minor request for the restaurant to change — please do separate bills. Not everyone has cash these days — As long as the bills paid — does it matter***

I’ve been a regular at this place for a few years, since it first opened at Ferryden Park and then moved to Woodville.
Since the move to Woodville, they have up the place to be more trendy and café like, and their signatures are on the bowls. It has better parking facilities then the old place as it is across from the train station and the place is more equipped to fit more customers in and disability friendly car parking. So you can either drive here or train it in from the city.
The staff are friendly and efficient and were greeted at the door immediately as we stepped in and we got seated without no hassles or bookings.
The place use to be a pub but now decorated with Vietnamese decorations of rickshaws, plants and feng shui items but still looks café, casual setting but trendy.
The meals here range from entrees of $ 12+, mains are $ 13+ and they do shared meals of grill it yourself $ 50 for 2 people, to $ 80 for 4 people. They have quite an extensive range of meals, from rice combos, vermicelli salads/​soups, noodles soups/​fried, vegetarian dishes and phở noodle soups. You won’t be disappointed here.
Meals can be shared here, as the servings are big or to taste different types of meals. I ordered the:
Combination Vermicelli Salad (Bun Thap Cam): Sugar cane prawn, bbq pork, spring roll, preserved pork loaf, salads served on cold vermicelli noodles with side of fish sauce. This was delicious, the noodles were steamed instead of being boiled, so the texture was flavoursome as it absorbed the spring onions and meats instead of being watery. I really enjoyed the sugar cane prawn and the spring roll. Thumbs Up!
Combination Rice Noodle — Hu tieu Thap Cam (dry version): There is the soup or dry version. I chose the dry as I wanted the flavours of the sauces and meats to be mixed with the noodles as sometimes the soup can make the flavours disappear. With the dry version, it comes with a side of soup. It is pork flavoured soup and the meats are cooked sliced pork, cooked prawns, sautéed ground pork, squid rings, fried garlic and caramelized shallot. It is covered with chives, oil and garlic for the extra taste and garnished with lettuce, cashew nuts and coriander. Thumbs Up!
Hint 1: Ensure you mention to the staff if you want small or large serving, otherwise you will automatically be served/​billed a large serving which is very filling. I had to get take-​away.
Hint 2: You will be charged for anything extras here, for example hosin sauce for $ 2.00, take away containers are $ 0.50.
Overall, Thumbs up and I will be returning very soon to this place.

This restaurant does not take bookings unless you have a party of 6 or above. Otherwise you have to wait for a table to be free. Once your order is taken, the food comes fast and fresh. We had the 7 beef course, we had to prepare and cook it yourself but it was part of the authentic experience. Price cannot be beat when shared with 4 people (under $ 20 per head). Pick this restaurant if you want a solid feed with healthy ingredients. Congee was yum!!!

Busy but awesome with delectable food and fast service.
Generous portions at a reasonable price — our meal was $ 85 for one shared entrée, 2 mains and a bottle of wine and 2 juices. The décor is modern and comfortable and there is seating outside in an open area. The meals we have had today (and previously) were delicious and large — I’m taking main size entrée’s.
Expect to line up in peak if you have
Strongly recommended.

Food was gross, we ordered 2 dishes and one of them came 40mins before the other. The food had no taste and the mushrooms tasted like they came straight out of a can so we had one mouthful and left. To top it off the waitress brought us out a dirty glass that had lipstick stains on it.

Isn’t it strange that you live so close to somewhere and still don’t know of its existence?
Anyway, this was my first time to NNQ (and the first I’d heard of it) and the first impression as I walked in was how absolutely HUGE the place was! It’s on 2 levels and the bottom level must have had at least 100 patrons in. We were led upstairs to our ‘area’ for our private function and there would’ve been another 100 there! Unfortunately, the way the ground floor was laid out gave the appearance of a school dining hall, not in the slightest intimate and very brightly lit. There were some other areas that were slightly cosier however.
Considering that this was a Friday night and the place was packed to the rafters, the staff who greeted us were very friendly and accommodating, despite the mad throng of noise.
There were about 30 of us for our function and we were led upstairs to a private area that seated us all reasonably well, albeit rather cramped. Naturally the first thing we did was to order drinks and once done, they arrived very quickly. After the first few initial rounds however, finding a member of staff became increasingly difficult so I ended up ordering 2 beers every time one was spotted!
The menu was wonderful and very comprehensive. All ranges of Vietnamese cuisine was on offer, but for ease, we ordered one of their set menus at $ 30 per head. We started with cold rolls and probably the tastiest spring rolls I’ve ever had! This was followed with a pulled beef dish, chicken sate, boiled rice, steamed vegetables and salads. There was also a delicious vegetarian menu that some of our crowd had. Value for money? Absolutely! Not many of our tables managed to finish the food.
To sum up — NNQ is definitely not the place to go if you’re looking for an intimate venue for a quiet night (try its sister venue in the city, Little NNQ, Gouger Street for that) but if there are a few of you, and you want delicious Vietnamese food, reasonably priced and served with a smile — then this is the place to go!

Been to NNQ when they were in Ferryden Park numerous times and am very impressed how they have decked out this new venue.
Following the huge success of Little NNQ in the city, this is just the natural progression.
The restaurant is situated in an old bank building n adapted to a restaurant very well with courtyard seating and some private dinning areas.
The polished floors does echo the noise a fair bit when it’s busy, we were there just on noon and it was gradually filled up by the time we left at 1pm.
The menu is the same as it was at FP, and the serves seemed to have increased! So was the price but only slightly and it was well worth it.
There’s plenty of room in between tables which is a plus and the staff are attentive.
There seemed to be more wines on the menu than before which is great.
Definitely a great place to be to have your Vietnamese fix.
The menu is different from Little NNQ and glad to see that Grilled beef seven ways remained on the menu and same price as before, if you haven’t tried it, highly recommended and you will not be disappointed.
