Hung Vuong - Melbourne

I have been a loyal customer of this restaurant for over 7 years. My whole family loves coming here. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, just like a family. The food is outstanding, especially their pho which is better than anywhere else we have tried. The spring rolls are absolutely delicious, and all their other dishes are equally amazing.

The only positive aspect of this restaurant is the friendly couple who own and operate it. However, I was disappointed by the special broken rice dish I ordered, as it was mediocre and did not include the usual accompaniments found at other Vietnamese restaurants nearby. The lack of meatloaf, overly salty shredded pork, and pickled vegetables was disappointing. Additionally, the crispy chicken dishes were subpar. The grilled pork on my broken rice felt like chewing on a pan-fried shoe sole.

Went for dinner and the place was not crowded. Ordered a sliced chicken pho. The pho came with beef and chicken. The waiter argued the toss that it was chicken maybe the arse, he said. We sent it back and the same bowl returned with sliced chicken. And, we're pretty sure, with urine in the soup as well. The rest of the food was awful too. Wish I had a bottle to take a sample of the soup. And hand it over to the authorities for testing.

Hadnt been for ages and with new renos thoroughly enjoyed the space and freshly tasting food. Nice phos, extra additions, one spicy .The vermicelli with spring rolls thoroughly enjoyed. Friendly, helpful service.

We love Hien Vuong and it is a regular stop off on movie night for a quick pre or post flick meal. Opening at 0900 a.m. it's also good for an early lunch after a visit to the Footscray market. There is a great range of Pho as well as a few traditional offerings such as Spring Rolls and Rice Paper (Fresh) rolls. Pho comes in three sizes the largest of which would suit even the biggest of eaters. Prices are $9, $10 and $11 for the bowl you need a kayak to get across. Service is quick and friendly, the soup hot with ample fresh herbs and shoots to add. The base stock is simply one of the best I have had outside Vietnam. A great place for quick service and great Vietnamese Pho.
