Plan ahead for parking
Direct street parking near the shop is limited, so plan to seek nearby street bays or park at nearby shopping centres like Coles or Woolworths and take a short walk.
Check table condiments for vegan dining
If dining plant-based, choose from designated options like mock meat bánh mì, vegan pho, or tofu bowls, but verify table condiments before adding them to your meal.
Mind the indoor warmth on hot days
The dining area can get quite warm during hot weather, so dress comfortably or choose an outdoor table when enjoying hot soups and noodle bowls.
