TRANG AN VIETNAMESE CUISINE 1777 Pittwater Road, Mona Vale, New South Wales 2103

"The best pho in Mona vale , been there many times and I still never get sick of this and very cheap and fresh, lovely people service you with smile I mostly go there for early dinner before they get busy but even if they busy they always find a table without booking. Highly recommend indeed"

"Attended for dinner. Location itself is nice enough for being on a main road. Service could of been better as we and other patrons needed to prompt service staff to take our order and provide table tap water. We ordered the wontons and stuffed boneless chicken wings for entrees. The entree turned up as spring rolls and boneless chicken wings. (We didn't send them back as we were very hungry). Mains consisted of lime chicken , sizzling scallops and marinated fish. The lime chicken was very dry, the scallops were average at best however the accompanying vegetables were very nice. The marinated fish had a nice taste but it was more like shaved fish as opposed to proper fish pieces. I will say the Saigon beer was very nice. Alot of the above food commentary could be excused if it was reasonably priced (eg$80 -$90, much like you find Thai food pricing, but at $120 I think the food could have been better. Would we go there again, probably not but I would still recommend trying at least once as you may enjoy it better. Also it sounded like the staff were arguing out the back as there was alot of shouting that could be overheard."

"Wonton filling super tasty but a little over fried, fried beef noodle dish was delicious. My friend enjoyed her beef pho. Lovely family restaurant. We were there right on open and things got busy quick"

"Went tonight for dinner.... big mistake. Tables very close together. Service below average. Had to go and get a waiter for attention. Entree: Spring Rolls over cooked. Satay Chicken with hardly any Satay. Main: Prawn and Paw Paw salad - very nice except the rice arrived with the salad and got cold while we waited for the Duck. Duck dish arrived with a lovely display of vegetables with perhaps a tablespoon of shredded Duck mixed in. I sent it back. Attitude of staff indifferent. Don't appreciate being ripped off. Won't be going again."

"6 of us ordered 5 dishes listed on their lunch menu. Very good portions of noodles and rice. The delivery is good and the taste is acceptable in general. The Beef Noodle in soup is the ace with the Stir Fried Beef with Cashew Nuts in Rice came next. The Curry Beef with Rice is alright. The main drawback is the lack of range and the garnishes are too generic. For less than $10 per dish at the heart of Mona Vale, you can consider it a bargain."
