    Food was amazing! Looked and tasted so good. Would opt to share a plate next time as one plate is more than enough for two people. If you’re looking for great tasting meat and crunchy chips and fresh salad this is the place!

    Modern twist on Vietnamese food. Plenty of options, highly recommend the potato prawns for entree. BYO wine. Friendly and attentive wait staff. I can see Local Chook becoming my regular local go to.

    We had a wonderful dinner celebrating my husbands birthday. My fussy kids loved the dips, cheese cigars and lamb cutlets! My husband and I used to eat at Mama Manoush often before having kids and the food is just as good as it has ever been. Looking forward to visiting again soon.
