After being captivated by The Gertrude Street Projection Festival, we stumbled upon this restaurant on our way home for dinner. We ordered Lemon Chicken, Stir Fried Curry Beef, Stir Fried Squid with Vegetables, and Special Fried Rice. The attentive manager promptly took our order and in just 5 minutes, our delicious meals arrived. The standout dishes were the Fried Rice, Stir Fried Squid, and Curry Beef, all expertly cooked and bursting with flavor. The Lemon Chicken was crispy and served with a sweet and sour lemon sauce. The manager, noticing we were Indian, provided us with three types of chili to satisfy our love for spicy food. Despite the crowded and noisy atmosphere on a Saturday nigh...
I went here a couple of weeks back with a friend for lunch on a Sunday. Our criteria for finding a restaurant was 1. must be Vietnamese cuisine (due to cravings) and 2. must have eftpos facilities. The latter criteria ruled out quite a few Vietnamese restaurants along Victoria street but then we found this place. It was reasonably full which we also took to be a good sign. We got decently priced Bun Bo Hue and a coca-cola each. The Bun Bo was excellent, huge portion, tasted great, warmed my soul. Service was efficient. I didn't take too much notice of the decor because I was eagerly shovelling the food into my face, so I guess the decor isn't noticeably offensive to the eyes. I do recommend...
We decided to explore a new Vietnamese restaurant near North Richmond Station and chose Thanh Phong based on its excellent reviews. The restaurant had a clean and modern interior, and the staff were friendly and attentive. They helped us navigate the menu, offering suggestions and ensuring our food arrived quickly and hot. I ordered the rice vermicelli with shredded pork and spring rolls, which was delicious and generously portioned. The spring rolls were crispy and flavorful, and I appreciated the option to choose between chicken or pork. Overall, our experience at Thanh Phong was great, with tasty food and reasonable prices. I highly recommend this restaurant for a satisfying Vietnamese me...
I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant and I must say, it was truly Pho-nomenal. As a Melbourne native, I can confidently say that this is the epitome of Melbourne Pho. The portion sizes were generous and perfect for a leisurely weekend meal while exploring Richmond's Victoria Street. The broken rice dish with meat cake was a standout, a rare find at many Vietnamese restaurants these days and absolutely delicious. We also tried the prawn spring rolls, which were equally impressive with their wonderful flavors. Overall, the dining experience was so enjoyable that I am already looking forward to returning for dinner.

Can't go wrong with Vietnamese on Victoria Street; in fact, many can rival those in Footscray. Thanh Phong is one of the more consistent ones and also one of the cleaner ones on Victoria Street. Their menu run the gamut from pho to broken rice to congee and to numerous cooked to order dishes. It will probably take me a year to try everything on the menu. Creatures of habit that we are, we tend to gravitate towards the broken rice. The grilled pork is the star of the dish never dry, succulent and full of flavour. Service can be a bit abrupt, the man manning the floor looks like he is always rushing to get back to watching the tv.
My go to favourite in Victoria st. Been coming for 20 years and love the place. Family run lovely family who hand make all the rolls and dumplings (you almost always see them sitting at the front table near the kitchen rolling spring rolls by hand). I 've lived and travelled in multiple countries and hands down these guys still make the best prawn spring rolls I 've had. My other favourite is their 'Thanh Phong ' special egg noodle soup with seafood just fab. Their Vietnamese pancakes, meat prawn on sugar cane and crispy quail are all superb. Highly recommend.
We ordered the prawn and pork dry noodle. One with the rice noodle and another with egg noodle. The sauce that they used contain lards which is great and what I think gave it that tasty flavour! Too bad that the pork slices in the noodle are tough, dry and tasteless.<br/
Great cheap fast Viet food. We tried the combination broken rice and so far this place serves the dish best on Victoria St. Pork chop was well marinated and fish sauce was light and balanced. The place is clean as well.
