Tra Vinh Restaurant - Footscray

Opposite saigon marketplace which has far superior produce to Footscray market for fresh fruit and veg. Convenient if you can find parking directly in front. Prices are slightly cheaper but you also get smaller serves. I'd say 20% to 30% less but YMMV. It's perfect for lunch. No idea if you get bigger serves for dinner etc.On the plus side, the noodles are very good regardless dry or soup and the accompanied veg is really good quality. Had both the dry and soup with no hint of msg aftertaste. Not the best but very goodMay do the broken or tomato rice one day as it is also popular with locals.Served by a well mannered young man rather than the old cranky dude as mentioned elsewhere )I would not say it was dirtiest but acceptable generic for the cuisine and area.

Popped for a late dinner on Friday night and were not disappointed. This place is always busy but a short wait only for a table. The service is generally good, we shared a table and there was a couple of mix ups with dishes.The food was great. The salads are fresh and fragrant, the soups are authentic and delicious. Definitely worth a visit and wait for table.

By the rest and head straight to Tra Vinh for the best Hu Tieu (Nuoc). Everything else on the menu is so-so, but Hu Tieu is the star of the show.

I ordered lunch from the restaurant through UberEats. The meal was delivered fresh and had amazing flavors. While I usually only eat pho at Vietnamese restaurants, this dish was so delicious! I definitely want to visit this restaurant in person. I ordered the Special Rice Vermicelli and the pork egg rolls were the standout. If you enjoy pork and noodles, this dish is a must-try!

We tried the dry noodles and rice vermicelli dish, which was absolutely scrumptious. The vermicelli was delicious, paired perfectly with crispy and flavorful grilled pork. The dry noodles had a slightly sweet flavor, and the meat slices were tender and not as dry as those from other restaurants.
