Newish springvale eatery that specialises in local dishes from Hue Vietnam. I've had a lot of viet…read morefood and thought I knew it all. I guess not!!! It took me time to go over the menu as I had never heard of some of the things / variations offered. I guess it is the regions take on some of the popular Viet dishes... There is a section on the menu for Kitchen's Specialisation... As I was going through this, the owner who looked like a reformed viet gangster came across and started talking to us. Nice guy.. :) Went for #137 (Bánh t), #5 (Banh Loc) .. and the broken rice on a hot plate. cus the dude suggested it. I told him that there is no where in Springvale that serves good Com Tam anymore.. and asked whats so special about his broken rice... he said try it... you wont regret. serving it on a sizzling plate tastes better he says... I couldnt agree more. The sizzling plate also makes the broken rice a bit harder at the bottom, almost like a claypot. Which was an interesting twist. The Pork.. I haven't had this good in a while. Not the best I have had as it still lacked the flame grilled flavour. But great all the same. Banh Loc - I've not tried this before... very similar to most of the "banh" style dishes but wrapped in banana leaf and not heavy. Banh Uot - is very similar to the normal banh cuon (translucent rice noodle rolls) that I am used to however this variety... the "uot" (opaque rice noodle rolls) which means wet banh uses a thicker noodle sheet as wrapper and the filler used was small amounts of pork. I think marinated grilled pork.. the 'cuon' uses those ear mushroom / fungus thingies. and the pork is finer. Arrrggg .. Anyway... bottom line... its frekn YUM! just go try it! :) and no I dont have shares there and the reformed gangster owner has not threatened my family or anything!! PS: the observation of the dude is in jest only! please dont track me down. :)

They loved it first time round and had very fond memories of our time here... however this time around... they were not as impressed. ordered the brisket burger.. other items included buffalo wings, the OG, the pulled pork and the kids cheese burger. Base is huge! Could not eat it. My brisket was dry and tough!!! Niece says her OG was good but it was missing something which she just put down to "pfffft" in her words. The pulled pork was ok but the jalapeño could've done without. Cheeseburger.. just ate the patty cheese and part of the top. Overall our experience was lack lustre... WIR? Nah better burgers elsewhere!!!

After trying many Thai restaurants in the area and also further out, we had no luck, until we tried Ghin Thai! The closets thing to our fav Thai restaurant and bonus it is close to home! The food is fresh and fragrant and very tasty! We had the following: - chicken satay skewers - Roti bread (came with a peanut dipping sauce) - Tom Yum fried rice (chicken) - Red Curry (Chicken) - BBQ honey & Soy chicken All this food was so delicious and very tasty. The servings are quite generous and pricing is reasonable good for what you get. You can eat in (it's a small place but quite nice for the area it is in) or you can take away. Service is very friendly. This is definitely our new Thai take out!

Had no idea and no expectations... on arrival I had a quick scan of the packed room. the restaurant is not that big. But the atmosphere was great! all the tables were filled with families feasting and having a good feed! One thing I noted was that they all had crab noodles on their table.. it was part of an 8 course banquet. see pics.. food here overall is great! the oysters.. I prefer the ones from Gold Leaf. besides that everything else we tried was pretty darn good. Nothing too creative or funky or BS... like "fusion". It's good ol Chinese banquet fanfare. The usual dishes you'd expect on any Chinese menu but done well! There's an a la carte menu that I'll prob try next time. A good alternative to consider if want to eat away from the Springvale centre. Oh the outside partitioned area is great on a sultry night but def not when a storm suddenly decides to come through with huge wind gusts!!

Pho is decent here and the table turnover is high so don't be put off by the crowd of people waiting out front. It only seats ~25 I'd say. Tiny space. So expect to be sharing tables during lunch rush. Broth tastes great. They pride themselves on supposed "no msg"??? Hard to believe but yeah I guess I wasn't thirsty afterwards. Soup is piping hot and full of flavour. Not high in aniseed. There's nothing I don't like here except for a lot of elbows touching.

The menu on the walls is not in English, but I got a "small" bowl of the beef brisket pho. The amall bowl is actually pretty filling, I can't imagine what the large is like. Tender beef and plenty of rice noodles swimming in a bowl of the best pho broth I have ever had. Very savory, flavorful, and tasty, I can see how people eat this stuff so quickly. It's served with basil and bean sprouts and can be flavored further with chili sauce or chili oil or one of the other condiments they have on the table. They also serve it with a thermos of hot tea which was good for washing it down. By the time we finished eating there was a larger crowd waiting by the door, staring at us while we ate... You may be asked to share a table as it gets packed. Definitely a great place to stop by for a quick and delicious bowl of pho!
