Annie's Cafe House, Bayswater

Annie's is a new restaurant opposite the Bayswater train station, taking over from Kokoro Japanese restaurant. When we got there, they were closing or about to close but they were very welcoming and insisted we stay and dine in. They close at 7pm so be sure to have an early dinner or takeaway if you would like to eat here for dinner. 

We ordered the grilled chicken bun (vermicelli) ($17) and sliced beef and beef ball pho ($18). The prices were a higher than other restaurants but the portions were generous. 

The bun was full of fresh vegetables, and grilled chicken. Not too much vermicelli, which was great for me who is avoiding eating too much carbs. 


The broth in the pho was wonderful. It tasted home made and did not seem to have added msg. Our only gripe was that the broth was not hot enough. 

There are limited seats in the restaurant so I believe the restaurant mostly does take away orders. When we were there, we saw someone who ordered a load of banh mi for takeaway. The friendly ladies who run the restaurant would usually pop in complimentary spring rolls as well (we didn't get any, probably only for take aways?)


Their banh mi's seem to be popular, especially since it is close to the train station where people can grab and go on their way home. Banh mi's are $11 and it is good to have another banh mi place in Bayswater.
