Hidden Gem in Whakatāne: Viet Eatery & Cafe

So, I just had to share my experience at Viet Eatery & Cafe right on King Street. I mean, if you’re craving Vietnamese food that actually tastes like it’s come straight from the streets of Vietnam, this is where you want to be! With a solid 4.8 out of 5 from 155 reviews, it’s clearly a crowd favorite.

Upon entering, the vibe feels casual yet inviting. You won’t find any frills here—just good, hearty food. The staff are friendly, mostly efficient, and from what I’ve noticed, they genuinely hustle to get meals out, even during busy hours. But, hey, who cares about fancy seating when you’re here for the pho and spring rolls?

Speaking of the food, wow! The pork and prawn noodle soup that I tried was just bursting with flavor. Perfectly seasoned, it hit all the right notes. And, let’s not skip on the beef pho—it’s practically legendary around here! But, a couple of friends mentioned they’d love it if the portion sizes were a bit bigger. Can’t blame them; when the food’s this good, you’ll definitely want more!

Do you fancy dining in or grabbing takeout? No worries, they’ve got both covered. Plus, if you’re in the mood for coffee afterward—yup, they serve that too! If you’re lucky enough, you might even catch a sunny day and enjoy the outdoor seating options.

For those of us who usually may not think to hop into a Vietnamese spot, Viet Eatery is worth a visit. Just make sure you stop by between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m.—they’re open all week long! Trust me, you won’t walk away disappointed.
