Helen's Kitchen - Vietnamese Homestyle

Helen's Kitchen is a friendly little Vietnamese budget eatery found in the heart of Beenleigh dishing up authentic home-style Vietnamese cuisine.    

Located on the quiet end of Main Street, this quaint cafe provides a handful of tables and chairs inside as well as outside on the footpath, plus takeaway and free delivery (in local area). 

The extensive menu boasts classic Vietnamese fare from rice paper rolls and bahn mi baguettes to rice noodle soups and vermicelli noodle salads, plus a few specialty dishes such as Helen's signature pork mince meatballs and Vietnamese stewed duck with egg noodles. 

As far as soups go, customers can slurp big bowls of spicy beef pho, chicken tom yum, seafood laksa, wonton and barbecue pork, pork mince and tomato vermicelli, and more.  

Likewise, there's a good selection of vermicelli noodle salads topped with your choice of grilled king prawn, lemongrass chicken, pork or beef, grilled pork and spring rolls, or tofu with vegetarian spring rolls. In addition, there are stir-fries and rice dishes. 

Drinks wise, there's traditional Vietnamese iced coffee, home made milk tea (with pearls or jelly), three colour bean drink, young coconuts, and western-style milkshakes in chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, banana and caramel.
