New Quarter

The staff were very helpful and friendly, the ambient was great... Food was a tapas "to share" style and it trickled through to the table through the time we were there. I was hungry and the portion size was never going to fill me up and some of the dishes had the potential to taste as good as they looked but didn't. Refer to photos for menus and the dishes we ordered as well as the restaurant interior

Worst recent experience. The portions are too small. The portions and prices you order should be adequate at other restaurants. But at this restaurant. Ordered about 70 percent of the menu and still couldn't get enough. I actually ate and felt very hungry. And the food is too slow. I'm going to dinner, not a concentration camp. I don't know why the portions are so small. I'm going to go to McDonald's for another hamburger after dinner. And it's really slow. It took at least two hours for all the dishes to be served.

Nice Vietnamese restaurant that serves up modern vietnamese food. We tried most of their dishes and highlights for me are the chicken liver tiger bread banh mi, chicken croquettes with laughing cow cheese and turmeric chicken. The tiger bread banh mi had really nice crispy texture to it and I believe they also leave some crispy chicken skin in the pate itself. Chicken croquettes were made with proper chicken pieces and the laughing cow cheese brought back some good childhood memories. The turmeric chicken meat was succulent and tender.

Not one for unrealistic expectations before or hyped reviews after. Here is the summary: New Quarter entrees are meh, mains are great (the Barra and chicken). Its settings chic and inviting but the service was not. We were told kitchen is slow and we have a 2 hours slot, plenty I would have thought. We were constantly hurried by unengaged staff and our experience ended in 80 minutes with plenty of time to spare. Not keen to repeat.

Good balance of diner favourites and interesting fresh dishes at an energetic venue. We really enjoyed the bahn mi fingers, which was a condensed flavourbomb of the classic sandwich, liver pate was great. The beef tartare was tastily balanced combined with the anchovy tapioca crisps although perfectly fine without them also. Other memorable dish was the whole roasted sole, with the seasoned crumb that worked really well with a well cooked fish. The only downside to this was needing some craft and attention to pick out the fillets without getting a mouthful of bones - something we probably only realised in hindsight might be more comfortable doing at home rather than in the middle of a busy dining room. Would recommend speaking to the servers about finding the right amount of food to order. Service overall was really attentive and communicative, a step better than many places we've been to.

I was really excited to check out this place based on my fond memories of Hanoi Hannah in Windsor. The menu looked so inspiring I was cursing that we weren't famished enough to try the Set Menu and that we would be limited to a plant-based diet tonight. We started with the Banh Xeo open pancake. I never knew artichoke and tofu could be this scrumptious! This was followed by a Green Curry of grilled Brussels, broccolini and snow pea tendrils. If you'd told me I would enjoy Brussels Sprouts I wouldn't have believed you, but this dish was bursting with flavour and a combination of textures that really appealed to us. I'm not sure about the Eggplant Schnitzel, which was so hard I worried about chipping my tooth. This was redeemed by the Banh Uot noodles which were so simple and yet so intriguing in its flavours. Super friendly staff helped us with the menu choices and made us feel welcome throughout the night. The dimly lit interior and artwork created an atmosphere that's great for date nights. I would come back again to try the meat / seafood offerings and just avoid that Schnitzel...
