Viki Cafe - Maungakiekie-Tamaki

Authentic Vietnamese cuisine tucked away in One Tree Hill. This little cafe is lovely in decoration and packed with flavours. Owners and staff are super friendly. The best bowl of Pho Bo (Vietnamese beef noodles soup) I've had in Auckland, very authentic. Summer rolls are quite different from other Vietnamese restaurants, instead of noodles and lettuce they only make it with prawns and vege, which is just as tasty and refreshing. The fried chicken (marinated in fish sauce) is Vietnamese home food at its best. We ordered 2 bowls of Pho, fried chicken, summer rolls and banh mi (Vietnamese baguette) and paid 55$, super reasonable. Apparently Viki is a local favourite so definitely check them out

The food was amazing, we ordered a beef pho and duck fillet on vermicelli. The pho soup has very rich flavour and the rare beef has also soaked up the soup flavour. The duck fillet is so tendered and beautifully charred and flavourful. Staffs are very friendly and attentive. Definitely recommends for any occasions when you feel like some amazing Vietnamese food.

Recommend the pho, with surprising taste of cinnamon. Spring rolls with creative use of pineapple. Desserts and coffee are great too! Excellent family atmosphere, with pillows, blankets, Vietnamese tourist kitsch on the walls, and welcoming jazz music. Dzn

Yummy food and friendly service! <br/ Cant wait to go back for more : <br/ <br/ Their pho and spring rolls are better than any other places ive been to. try it out, hansan, otahuhu cafe .<br/ The pork vermicelli was amazing also! The pork was moist and had that char grilled flavour : i think it could have been perfect if there was more seasoning to it but thats just me : <br/ Awesome awesome place!

I had grilled marinated pork vermacelli. Straight out of Hanoi. These are the sort of operators who, starting in street-side Onehunga, should end up in the Viaduct Harbour making millions.
