This is definitely what people call the hidden gem.
Unique from other Vietnamese restaurants this one is originated from Southern Vietnam, Hu Chi Ming city, Saigon.
The flavours, the presentation and the ingredients are a little different, you can tell soon after your first bite.
They are not along the main street so pretty easy to be missed if you don't pay much attention to the dark blue signage.
Small venue, not a fancy place but you can be ensure the food is yummy 😋

Went here by accident and loved the food! Food is affordable, taste really good and have plenty of serving. Not to mention - the vietnamese spring rolls are damn huge! - also the complimentary vietnamese tea taste amazing, even our son liked it.

I’m so glad I decided to give this place a try. The food was awesome and the lady running it was so sweet. Im not familiar enough with Vietnamese food to comment on its authenticity, but I can confidently say the food was delicious and presented very nicely. We ordered the bun bo hue and the rice platter. I can definitely see myself becoming a regular here

The food is unexpectedly really delicious for a hidden gem near home. I can still taste all the flavours, perfectly balanced in taste. The pricing is also very affordable, I'll be back to try the other menu items.

Every Vietnamese restaurant I eat for the first time, I always use the com suon or com tam as a benchmark.
At Cago, this is no different. Rice was absolutely perfect. The meatloaf was stunning (not common among other Auckland restaurants, some places don't even give you meatloaf on their com suon)
The sauce or nuoc cham was the best. Not too sweet, not too heavy but still have depth.
Bun thit nuong was packed full of toppings and noodles. Good value portion. Spring rolls was okay. I'm not a big fan of the wheat-based spring rolls. If they were the traditional spring rolls with banh trang, it wouldve taste better.
Restaurant decor was nice, too bad I wasn't dining there. Nice service and family owned business. Will definitely come again and try Dine-in next time.
