Huong's BYO Restaurant - Brisbane

Hidden upstairs, Huong's has delicious food and a large menu. Fast service and reasonable prices with modern asian decor. Chinese/Thai/Vietnamese dishes

This is a lovely little resturant; up some stairs and is very easy to miss. The food is lovely the staff are very helpful. What makes this place stand out, is that you are able to talk comfortably to your companions without having to compete with loud music or busy road traffic. We are a big group and this is ideal. Just love it.

Lemon Chicken - difficult to chew and even harder to swallow. Minuscule quantity of bitter lemon sauce. 4 steamed dim sims, good but could have done with some more soy sauce though. Special fried rice, edible but not like any "genuine" fried rice we have enjoyed elsewhere. Cost just under $60.00 for two. Not to be repeated. We're very disappointed, was expecting more. Delivery service to the hotel was excellent. It's always nice to be able to leave a good review so we feel sad that, in this case we cannot.

Had a 50th birthday party and ordered some entree items from the menu as finger food. We spent hundreds of dollars and the result was the same of each item dumped in alfoil trays with huge containers of sauces. There was no effort put into presentation, or dividing the items evenly into trays. We held the party at a bar less than a minute's walk away, and the owner wanted to charge a delivery fee! Another restaurant happily walked the order placed with them up the door. Stingy, no effort and very ordinary food. The owner was very unpleasant, to say the least. Never again.

When I lived in West End in the 80s, Huong's was an institution. The food was plentiful, cheap and tasty. It was always packed with a boisterous crowd.Our visit there tonight was disappointing. Only one table was occupied when we arrived at 7pm on a Saturday night. West End is so packed with bars and cafes now that the competition must be punishing. I imagine cafes have to change to meet that challenge. That includes the "institutions".We shared pork and prawn rice paper rolls that were mostly noodles, a combination Vietnamese salad (again, mostly noodles with a little deep fried chicken and tofu) and a good ol' fashioned combination Chow Mein. (This was tasty - the outcome, I suspect, of a generous pinch of msg. If not msg, then p'raps just sugar).The rather dour maitre d' did ask when we paid the bill,"was everything ok?" We paid $53 for an entree and two mains and some jasmine tea. I wouldn't have thought twice about that had the food been more appealing. Or the atmosphere more inviting.
