Patrons rave about the generous portion sizes at Fisherman's Plate Seafood. You won't leave hungry after an order of the rich beef pho or the flavorful bun bo hue. Many love the perfectly cooked crispy fish and chips, which have become a fan favorite.

Most Disliked
Some diners note that the simple interior lacks the ambiance of fancier restaurants. While the focus is squarely on food, those seeking a polished dining experience might find the decor slightly underwhelming. However, most agree that the quality of the dishes outweighs the basic setting.
Occasionally, the busiest lunch periods lead to longer wait times. For those planning a visit during peak hours, be prepared to wait a bit longer than usual, especially on Tuesdays at noon when the restaurant sees its highest numbers.

An ‘authentic’ ascetic interior inspires confidence. The menu is diverse, the staff are friendly, and they are knowledgeable about the dishes. The choice fell on the spicy beef soup. Finally, normal-sized garnishes of greens and citrus (not like in many other establishments of this type). The portion is large, the broth is good, the noodles are non-standard but excellent. The amount of meat is pleasing. Two types of homemade ham (chicken and pork) are interesting but not for everyone. Solid 4,5/5, will definitely return for the pho

Fisherman’s Plate is the best pho you will find! The owners are lovely and make such delicious food. Always go in for a pho and a scoop of chips - such good value.

Excellent Vietnamese cuisine. The soup is rich and pho smooth. Spring roll is crispy and roast meat is tender. Reasonably large serving and reasonable prices. S

One of the best lunch options in Wellington. $18 for an outstanding beef pho - rich, hot and filling. Service is excellent, would highly recommend

Not your typical Vietnamese restaurant, unsuspecting location and interior. Came here for the food, left with a full belly. There's even a sign that says no MSG in their cooking, the noodle soup bases have a pleasant depth to them!
