Authentic Vietnamese cuisine and nothing over $16 on the menu…read more I'm addicted and have ordered take away or dined in at least 5 times in the last month. The reasons are simple: - Convenient, a place for people of the West (without having to travel to Footscray). - Cheap, affordable meals-for-one or meals-to-share. - Delicious, flavoursome! Obviously busy during lunch/dinner peak hours but I've only ever had to wait over 30min once otherwise they can turn around orders in under 15min. My favourite is the broken rice with marinated pork chop and the Vietnamese style spring rolls. They're CLOSED on Mondays.

Highly recommended. Will definitely be coming back. Only downside is it is located next door to an Adult store, if that is a downside.

This is a fantastic vietnamese restaurant tucked away in the heart of Geelong…read more The food is authentic and delicious with substantial portions. I had the lemongrass beef - and the chef was very flexible and replaced the rice it normally comes with a salad with beautifully sculpted vegetables. I have also had one of the best banh mi pork rolls I have ever had there, packed with pork and salad, pickles and chilli (I like it hot) - a very substantial and filling roll. Did I mention that the roll was great too freshly toasted and not one of those light sugar rolls. Inside the ambience is peaceful with plenty of seating including several booths and some very comfortable arm chairs to enjoy a coffee or tea and cakes , whether vietnamese or Australian style. Finding this great little cafe/restaurant is one of the highlights of my stay in the fantastic city of Geelong.

The broth is clear and tasty, the noodles are good enough and the amount of meat is generous. This special soup doesn't come with tendons or stomach like other places but it's delicious none the less. The rice paper rolls and wonton soup were much loved on the other side of the table. As was the deep fried ice cream! This was just lunch! What a treat. The service is friendly and prompt and the place is clean and inviting.

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. :)

The restaurant itself is unassuming, located in a line of shops just behind the medical centre off fordholm road. This place was actually recommended by my dad who received a sceptical retort from me when I told him I was hankering for a really flavourful pho- sorry dad. Arriving on a Sunday evening for dinner, the place was fairly quiet. I place my order of beef pho and dim sims for takeaway. Not even ten minutes later my food was handed over, hot and fresh and ready for me to inhale at home. The beef stock was delicious. Dark, rich and plentiful- exactly what I expect. Served with the usual suspects- rice noodles, beanshoots, lime, fresh chilli, mint and of course, thin sliced of beef (served raw but given I had to drive 10 minutes home was actually cooked sitting atop the rice noodles). Everything about the meal was exactly what I had been craving. The red chillies were insanely hot (or Edinburgh has weakened me) so my tip would be not to big down a whole slice. The dim sims were so delicious. Hot, crispy and clearly homemade, they were flavoured really well and so moreish. I will definitely be going back whilst I'm on my trip and highly recommend this place for anyone who's also over having to drive towards the city for a good pho.
