Small seating area and the menu is simple. It’s good for a quick lunch bite. We got the pork banh mi and it was good but it was smaller than expected. The bread was airy with some crunch to it and the vegetables tasted fresh. I would eat it again.

We visited this small, authentic Vietnamese eatery on a Monday afternoon.
The limited seating, accommodating about six people, adds to its charming, no-frills atmosphere. The Vietnamese women running the place are efficient, whipping up delicious dishes in no time.
Here's what we tried:
-----
🍜 Bo Bun Hue ($10.5) This Vietnamese noodle
soup features a rich, spicy broth with tender, gelatinous beef heel meat and generous slices of ham. The noodles are light and springy, and the broth is full of flavour. While the abundance of greens and fibrous vegetables might be a bit much for some, we appreciate the healthy touch.
I rate: 3.8/5 🌟
🍜 Bun Thit Nuong ($9.5)
Similar to Bun Cha, this cold vermicelli noodle dish is a delightful blend of sweet and savoury flavours. The star of the show is the tender, well-marinated pork ribs with a smoky grilled flavour. The cold vermicelli and fresh vegetables complement the warm, flavorful meat perfectly.
I rate: 4/5 🌟
🥖 Bahn Mi Heo Quay ($9)
We shared this crispy, light, and non-greasy baguette filled with roasted pork belly. While the pork was flavorful and chewy, we wished the fat was a bit more rendered and the skin crispier. We also felt the pâté could have been more generous to add a stronger Vietnamese flavour.
I rate: 3.8/5 🌟
Overall, this hole in the wall stall offers authentic Vietnamese cuisine at slightly higher prices. If you're not afraid of a bit of spice and enjoy hearty, flavourful dishes, this place is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Tried Cha Ca Cafe roast pork bahn mi. The ingredients are far less than the Ba Buong bahn mi (Jur East). Taste wise average - 2.5 stars

Amazing food and amazing friendliness.
The chefs (including the lady) deserving for making the VN food taste good.
Will return to try more dishes for sure.
BÁNH TRÁNG TRỘN was well done, loved it. This is the Rice Paper Salad. Prefer it less sweet and no pork lard.
The BANH MY (bread) looks good though I did not try. I saw the others enjoying it!

We tried Bun Bo Hue (Spicy beef noodle) and Banh my Heo (Pork sausage VN Baguette), the taste is very authentic, esp the noodle. The price is very affordable given the quality and the full amount of meat. My husband is a fan of VNese coffee with condense milk (Ca phe sua da) and the ratio of milk-coffee here is perfect. The owner and her kid are friendly. Highly recommend!

Cha Ca Cafe is a very small Vietnamese cafe at Far East Plaza (Level 1). There are only two tables available, 4-seater and a 2-seater. Cosy. Run by Vietnamese or Thai. The Bahn Mi is nice, warm, crispy but maybe slightly expensive for its size. Nonetheless, the food is tasty. To sit in, do go before peak hours. It gives a nice, warm and cosy feel.

They serve good & authentic Vietnamese cuisine but the stall is pretty small. The banh mi i tried is crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside, the roasted pork is so good and the sauce is savoury.

Pretty decent Vietnamese Beef Stew! Quite tasty! Goes well with the chili. Baguette will be perfect if more toasted. So we had to send it back to get it more toasted. Friendly owners.

Excellent little hole in the wall Vietnamese place on the first floor of Far East Plaza. Very small, only two tables, but extremely delicious food and a friendly vibe.

My surprise to find such an authentic Vietnamese food tiny shop at Far East Plaza. The taste and flavour is totally different from what we used to have typical Vietnamese franchise food in Singapore.
