Dropped in here for takeaway lunch today and was very satisfied. Only had the vegetarian rice paper rolls but they were freshly cooked to perfection and full of flavour. 4 rice paper rolls for $8 was great value and also included a generous serving of delicious sauce. Also had the Vietnamese iced coffee which is a must when visiting. Would love to come back here once they have re-opened for dine-in. đđ˝
This is perhaps the best Vietnamese food along Victoria Street with an extensive menu that also offers Thai and Chinese style dishes as well as lots of specials in a relaxed environment.. Vegetable spring rolls I find are often uninspiring, but not at Vinh Vinh, here they are golden and crunchy. The Szechuan style eggplant, the crispy beef and the chilli fish were all deliciously perfect. Vinh Vinhâs decor looks like it hasnât been changed in years but who cares when the food is of such a high standard and the bill came to $30 a head (and we had over ordered).
Our favourite place on Victoria Street. The huge menu has something for everyone, and we've never been disappointed with anything we've ordered here. Try the salt and pepper bean curd!
Love this place! It is my go to on Victoria street. Great food and service. Food comes out in perfect portion sizes and pretty cheap! Never been unhappy here.

Started with the spring rolls and then the combination birds nest. Pretty good. Despite being a busy night the staff were fast and efficient which usually happens as they are looking for a 2 or 3 seating in a night - which is fair enough.
Food was tasty and certainly plenty on the menu that was appealing. The takeaway side was doing a roaring trade. Nice drinks menu too. Staff are lovely and very âefficientâ.
Parking isnât too bad but remember itâs Smith Street so there at time limits and competing with other diners. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly.
Would have rated 4.5 Stars. Four of us went at lunchtime on a Friday, and was not busy, so service and speed was not an issue. The quality of the food was exceptional and as it turned out relatively cheap at $50 per head for food and we BYO wine. The menu with 180+ items was a little overwhelming, so we just ordered from the specials board. Started with the Hot & Sour Soup with Duck, followed by Peking Duck (quirky square pancakes and carrot), Steamed Scallops with XO Sauce and Ginger, Steamed Whole Barramundi with Ginger and Spring Onions, and Special Fried Rice
Only decent Vietnamese which delivers to Northcote, the others on the various delivery apps are inferior to here. Been ordering for years and being part Vietnamese im not going to say it's the best by any stretch but you can't get home delivery from Bankstown or Cabramatta in NSW to here lol.
Annoying they've taken waterspinach or indeed all vegetarian dishes off Menulog though :(
Came here tonight for take away order, took a seat and waited - when our lovely waitress brang us some ice cold water and prawn crackers while we waited. And as I type this she even seen I finished the glass, so she brings a whole jug of cold water. The food here is timeless and sensational! Weâ¤ď¸you Vinh Vinh! I forgot why we havenât been around in so long, weâre sorry!
Recommended by a friend so we went for s quick meal. There is plenty of Vietnamese on Victoria St and it quite hard to find favourite one. We prefer grilled scallops and it was delicious. Crunchy tempura calamari and it wasn't oily at all. We had it with combination fried rice and 3 beers. For two people wasn't too expensive. We couldn't finish them all and asked for left over takeaway. The lady who served us not just friendly actually offering a great service. Simple truely authentic mixture of Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine. Yum....
Authentic vietnamese, byo, cheap prices, generous servings, very hospitable friendly staff. Will definitely be back as I couldn't find fault with this little gem.
I've had the pleasure I've trying a few Vietnamese Restaurants on Victoria Street but Vinh Vinh is a real standout. The menu is HUGE and offers so much more than your standard chicken Pho (although Pho is great). Had a few things on the menu and the lamb hot pot was probably the best.
This is my all time favourite place for honey chicken, the batter is the perfect density and so crispy. The chicken used is visibly white chicken breast - which isn't always common at that price!
Plenty of variety in the menu and the service is always pleasant an efficient (with free prawn crackers whilst you wait)
Great for Lunch & Dinner! The wait staff are a bit dopey at times but the food is very good! The owner is adorable & super friendly. Their Lemongrass & chill beef with vermicelli is my favourite.
This is my favourite place for Peeking Duck! The salt and pepper calamari is perfectly seasoned and beautifully crispy. This is a regular place for dinner- great to dine in or get take away. Prices are very reasonable and it's a perfect place to order lots of dishes to share with a group of friends.
This is a great place to go with friends and family. Atmosphere is fantastic on a Friday night dinner with delicious Vietnamese/ Chinese cuisine. Starting with the pork spring rolls which came with a sweet chilli vinegar sauce to dunk which was out of this world! Highly recommend!
Great place for going with a group of friends, ordering a bunch of dishes and sharing everything. Have never paid more than about $20 doing this, including corkage for wine and maybe a couple drinks on the bill as well. Always tastes really fresh and like they use good quality vegetables and meat, never sinewy or bad meat. Very amenable to a cheap and cheerful dinner!

Vinh Vinh is a great option on Victoria Street with a broad range of Asian cuisine. The fit out is modern and colourful with yellow tables and chairs, colourful lights and Chinese art on the walls. We came here with a group and enjoyed the ability to deliver Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese offerings.
Walked in at 10:55pm and they still served us. So grateful and so happy there is a late night pho spot. Wish they were open till later.
Ducking excellent!. We have been going to Vinh Vinh for years and the food and service is consistently excellent. They do the best Peking Duck in Melbourne! Every meal I have had has been the best asian food I have experienced in Melbourne. The decor is nothing special but the food and service more than make up for it. Well worth the trip to Richmond and very reasonably priced- especially the banquet!
Excellent allround. Best Vietnamese in town. We never go anywhere else. Kim, his wife and kids are all lovely and very welcoming. We often get delivery too as their kitchen closes very late!
Happy I have now found my new Vietnamese takeaway place ! Ordered via eat now app and very impressed with both the service and the food. Delivery was right on time, driver excellent. Food was piping hot and very yummy. Generous portions and quality produce for a reasonable price. Highly recommend :)
The Papaya Salad kicks ass!
Beef with chili and lemongrass and chicken with cashews and vegetables.
Big servings, absolutely fresh, well priced.
Recommended!

Good Food and Service (Try the Quail). This place comes across as more Chinese than Vietnamese, however the Viet food we had was very good indeed. I guess the advantage here is that there should be something on this very (and I mean very) large menu that everyone will like.
The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and comfortable, and the girls serving the tables were fantastic. Polite, attentive and efficient.
For our starters we had "Duck Rice Paper Rolls" (Awesome), "Crispy Quail Salted and Pepper" (Better than Awesome) and Seafood Spring Rolls - with the usual accompaniments. (Perfect).
Our Mains were "Combination Pancake" (Perfectly crisp), "Crispy Beef" served with "Nuoc Cham" (Dipping sauce), lettuce, mint, beanshoots and pickled carrots. (Chewy, but yummy), and Garlic Prawns. (Prawns were cooked perfectly, but the vegies were a little overdone - Still nice though)
If I were to pick one favourite from the above it would be the "Crispy Quail Salted and Pepper". - This was the standout !!!!!
Totally awesome. Very yum yum. Great and attentive service.
Great. We have been eating at Vinh Vinh for years.. It is the best in Victoria St..has dishes on the menu that I have not seen at other Vietnamese Restaurants..
BBQ Scallops,Sticky Rice Ball to name a couple.. The food is always good..
The chef is the owner so good quality control..reasonably priced,good service.. Love it..
Really cheap, really good. Dear Vinh Vinh, thank you for delivering your yummy Pho all the way to my house in South Yarra! As a regular customer, I can say you won't be disappointed. If you order for delivery, it may take up to 1h on a weekend night if you live on this side of the river, but the food is always piping hot.
This place is great! Lovely, fresh , cheap food. The inside is pretty basic, but food wise it's delicious and cheap.
Awesome. Yum yum, chicken coconut curry with rice.
Also the squid with pepper and salt, yum!
Delivery guy is nice, had 2 different ones, one is honest and came back to give me extra change, but It was his tip, the other one charged me more than what the guy said it would be on phone, dodgy!

Our regular. We've been hitting Vinh Vinh since the first day they were open.
Nowhere can be perfect all the time, but of the hundred or so times we've eaten there or had take-away there's only a handful of incidents - fairly minor ones (flavour's not quite there, particular waiter stuffs up order AGAIN).
When my dad visits from Sydney, it's always his preference - extremely fresh, good quality.
Highlights on the menu for me:
Prawn spring rolls.
A MUST - with all the trimmings.
Peking Duck.
Totally casual, totally delicious (but it is true that sometimes the 'pancakes' are a little dry)
Chicken Coleslaw.
AMAZING. REFRESHING. TASTY.
Salt & Pepper squid.
According to a well-travelled friend of mine who I took there one night, possibly the best S&P squid he's ever had. Again, sometimes not quite on the mark - but when it is, my god you will know it.
Good prices.
We moved out of the area a year ago - so instead of take-away, we just make a night of it instead. Can get noisy when busy, but that just means you know it's good.
Best delivery take away our family has ever had..the pho the coleslaw as well
As the duck were amazing!
Worth a try. We liked the food and service was great.
Pad Thai noodles and pork had a perfect texture and great balance of flavour and chilli. The salt n pepper pork ribs were a real delight The service fast efficient and very courteous
Local favourite. Vinh Vinh is our regular take-away, and we regularly dine in too. It's a relaxed atmosphere (unless there are hordes of small children tearing around unsupervised), and while it's not 'fancy' it's a couple of notches up from your traditional Vic St laminate table tops.
Highly recommended: Homemade Steamed Dim Sims, Laksa (REALLY good laksa), Green Papaya Salad, and the noodle soups are served with a good quality stock.
Also, the sweetest and loveliest delivery man going round for home deliveries!
Quite seriously the best laksa ever.
Always like this restaurant, even though there are always menu items "not available, run out" sometimes never available, still on menu. Love their green curry and the eggplant dishes. Prices have just gone up, making it expensive rather than affordable as before...... Getting ready for the carbon tax?
A favorite. This place is awesome we come here all the time! Sweet and sour chicken is great!
Great value on Victoria Street. Good value, fabulous salt and pepper squid, lovely owners who always look after you. Have dined here in a group and we never leave hungry.
3rd visit... This visit impressed some Sydneysider vegetarians. Thurs night 10 min table wait was worth it - there's a reason this place is busy. Tofu dishes done really well and very fresh. Passed on the ubiquitous S & P squid for Pork with chilli & lemongrass (excellent), chinese broccoli (consistent), fried combo rice (non-oily and fresh) and spicy beef special (brilliant). Extra freshness to the dishes, quality sauces and light ont he oil.... and a pleasing bill total.
Always a winner. My partner and I are regular visitors always get the salt and pepper squid and NEVER fails us!
Always satisfied and happy after our regular visits.
Yes it is a little more expensive than lots of places on Vic St (not expensive when compared to elsewhere though) but you can't fault the food - always tasty
I have been visiting Vinh Vinh for many years. The food is tasty and of a high quality every single time. The service is family friendly. Whenever I have a special event such as a birthday or anniversary I always go there. Do yourself a favour!
Great pho. Stopped in for an early Friday lunch. Duck rice paper rolls were very fresh with a great serve of meat. Fried wontons also flavoursome and left us wanting another plate. Beef ball pho spot on - great broth and the flavour stayed right to the last drop. The service was also relaxed and it was nice to be in an Asian restaurant and not be rushed out the door. Deserves all the good reviews, as it is great.
Favourite Restaurant in Melbourne. Vinh Vinh is my favourite restaurant in Melbourne. THE BEST rice paper rolls, Vietnamese coleslaw, fried rice, Pho...... always impressed, both dine in and takeaway. Thanks Vinh Vinh, you help make Melbourne a great place!
Awesome! Great coleslaw, so flavourful! Best on V street! Really tasty bun too.
Sooooo good. amazingly fresh and cheap. my new Victoria St regular.
A great option on Victoria st. like many options on the street it is exceptional value. The coleslaw is delicious and fresh. The Laksa is one of the best I have had. Highly recommended!
Delicious, fresh and cheap.
Laksa to die for. The laksa and tom yum soup are delicious here! Service is a little slower than other places on Victoria street - but this is a GOOD thing - they're actually making it fresh back there :)
Excellent Value for Money and Super Tasty. I regularly order delivery and occasionaly dine in. MUST TRY Prawn Curry Laksa - Amazing. Best value restaurant. Would recommend to everyone to try.
Home delivery review. The food is amazing, steamed dim sim, hot / sour soup and wonton soup great. Guy who delivers is super efficient and very friendly. Food is always delivered piping hot.
The food was great. The singapore noodles were very tasty. Service was a little slow for a busy night but I forgave that due to the quality.
The food was fantastic and very affordable. Must try the chilli beancurd and the BBQ scallops. Very enjoyable night had by all.
Definitely my favourite restaurant on Victoria Street. I love the pho, the black bean beef, the rice paper rolls and everything! My family all love eating at Vinh Vinh, we will keep coming back!
Asked for "Hokkien Noodles with Chicken and Vegetables"
And what they gave me was delicious. The egg and chicken tasted especially fresh.
I never review places but I have to make an exception for this place.
My place for no frills, unapologetically authentic vietnamemese Pho. A place I go to multiple times a week.
The broth is a genuine beef bone broth that is savoury and nutrient rich. It is very different from your average pho joint that heavily dilute the broth only to bring it up with copious amounts of salt and MSG.
The beef balls are premium and appropriately cut.
As a bonus the service is great being run by a mother-daughter resturant.
I will happily come here multiple times a week for years to come.
The yummiest seafood soup and fried chicken was amazing. Very authentic and highly recommend!
Amazing food⌠have been here 3 time this week.
The service is amazing as well đ
Started with the spring rolls and then the combination birds nest. Pretty good. Despite being a busy night the staff were fast and efficient which usually happens as they are looking for a 2 or 3 seating in a night - which is fair enough.

Parking isnât too bad but remember itâs Smith Street so there at time limits and competing with other diners. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly.
This place is sooo good the lovely lady whom owns this place Is always ready to greet you and it's the only place that has ever said "you order too much" honestly fresh fantastic food .....
