Searched for restaurants in nth hobart, most were full of customers. Found this small unassuming diner"Saigon express" three of them in the main drag. Chose the unlicenced middle one . On first appearance it looked quite drab, noticed a seafood sizzling hot plate advertised without noodle or rice for $27.
WELL , did I get MORE than I had expected...
Prawns ,squid seared with fresh red capsicum ,ginger, spring onion shallots, brocolli, cauliflower,carrot along with the most delicious stock/ sauce. All cooked too an absolute perfect level still alldente and juicy.
I asked about byo and was told yes and not even charged corkage!.
Sometimes, looks can be deceiving, I would recommend this authentic Vietnamese diner for any person looking for a fresh / healthy dinner without the pomp and ceremony that most upmarket restaurants base their menu prices on. I will return too try out many of my other Viet dishes featured on the expansive menu...
Staff are all friendly Darlings xx

The food is so good I die of happiness everytime I come here. But the food is so good it resurrects my body and soul.

The vegan options for Banh Mi were par excellence. The tofu and vegetables were packed with flavours - highly recommend Salt and Pepper Tofu and Basil Mushroom and Tofu Banh Mi flavours.
Service was pleasant, prompt and professional. Highly recommend and would definitely order from here again and again.
