Anh Minh — Restaurant in Melbourne

I’ve recently discovered this wholesome family run restaurant after four years living in Vietnam, now back in Melbourne and searching for good home made Vietnamese food. There aren’t many Vietnamese restaurants on this side of Brunswick east but this one is particularly special and deserves a lot more attention. It has a humble and cosy atmosphere amongst all the noise of lygon street. Cô Sáu and her husband have owned this restaurant for 18+ years and are so generous with their hospitality every time I come in. They have a menu with a wide selection of Vietnamese dishes - try the bún thịt nướng (pork with rice vermicelli) bò la lọt (vine leaf wrapped pork) and my favourite dessert plain and simple the deep fried banana with ice cream and peanuts. They also have the soups (phở and bún bò Huế) which hit just right. Cô Sáu is usually in there with a red shirt on - make sure you tell her Nathan sent you - She will...

Came here for a dine in family lunch. Nice tables and atmosphere, but very hard to get someone’s attention even as the only people in the store. Place had reasonable food at a reasonable price. The fried rice was quite nice, but the beef wasn’t great & they were stingy with the black bean sauce. The customer service was friendly, but lacking. They had to be waved over to order food, then deposited food and left so quickly we had to call them back to order drinks and then just went to the counter when we wanted anything after that. I’d have rated high if the customer service was better or the sauce poured...

Not just Vietnamese cuisine ....

Location wise, very handy on the food esplanade of Brunswick East. One of the few Asian cuisine, seems like the only Vietnamese restaurant judging by its name.

Not much in terms of set up, quite a pleasant service.

Food wise, not the most authentic Vietnamese cuisine, more like a compilation of South East Asian cuisines. Salt & pepper Calamari, Sweet & Sour Barramundi, Vietnamese Chilli Beef and Prawns Salad.

BYO wines as there aren't much option.

Average food, good value for money and quite enjoyable. JT...
