Try It Out Vietnamese Cafe, Otahuhu


If you are wondering where you can find authentic, cheap and cheerful Vietnamese food, Try It Out is the go-to place. A visit to my sister in Brisbane over Christmas makes me crave for good Vietnamese food. When I came back, I was on the mission to find one. Luckily for me, it doesn't involve 30 minutes drive to get to and this place is cheap too. Score!

The place may look a bit drab but don't let it put you off. It's a family run business and the service is friendly and prompt. Most mains on their menu are between $10-$15 and plenty of car park outside.

Grilled chicken on tomato rice $12. I really like the lemon grass-tinged chicken . It's available on white rice too.

Vietnamese spring rolls $5.50 for 2. Really like this as it was not greasy  and the sauce is really good.

Steamed Vietnamese Prawn Rolls $5.50 for 2.

Sorry, I don't remember the actual name for this but I think it's a combination on rice vermicelli

Pho with raw beef $11. I love their Pho. Definitely the best I've eaten in Auckland. The stock is so flavourful
