Its relatively anonymous exterior on a backstreet in
Springvale belies its vibrant and bustling interior.
The first dish was the Broken Rice with Pork Chop, Fried Egg,
Shredded Pork & Eggcake ($10.00). If you come here you must order this!
The pork was unbelievably juicy and the rice was so addictive. We would soon
find out why…

The second was the Sliced Beef Phở
($10.00). The soup had a deep flavour and the noodles were soft, but the
beef was quite tough and nasty.

Next was the Flame-Grilled Pork Vermicelli Salad ($10.00).
The pork had been battered and fried giving it a fried chicken taste.
Vegetables were fresh and peanuts gave it extra crunch.

We had finished the first three dishes and were still
waiting on the Chicken & Prawn Spring Rolls with Lettuce & Fish
Sauce (8pc, $9.50). We asked a waiter about it and apparently they they had
forgotten about it. Not to worry, as it wasn’t long before a plate of
piping-hot spring rolls was on our table. You could tell that these were
freshly cooked. They were very crunchy on the outside but the filling was a bit
mushy and had a bit of a weird taste. Have had better. A generous amount of
lettuce and dipping sauce.

Warning: we probably went through 2 litres of water each
afterwards due to the amount of MSG which they obviously use!
Verdict: If you
don’t mind the insatiable thirst that comes with MSG, come here for the
cheapest and most addictive Vietnamese food in Melbourne.

Would I come back?
If I was in the area, definitely.
