Obviously Green Field is a loud restaurant with questionable service but the food is so cheap and amazing it more then makes up for it!!
Been here twice now in recent times for lunch. Firstly I dont like it when you order entrees and mains but they bring them all together. Food just goes cold. Lose a mark for that error. The Apollo spring rolls were perfectly cooked and crispy with lots of prawn meat and came with lettuce leaves and mint but skimped on the dipping sauce. The satay is fine good size bits of chicken but a little dry so nothing special. Loved the crispy quail a sure winner even if a little fiddly. The salt and pepper calamari was well worth it and the red duck curry is a sure fire winner. There was only one waiter and he was pretty busy so you had to flag him down to order or get plates taken away. Basically the food is good but they could polish up the customer service a bit.
This place is a massive vibe. Best Asian food on Sydney road and is super cheap. Treat yourself
Great for cheap Asian takeaways. Portion sizes are decent and works out about $15 a person. The rice paper rolls are really simple, cheap but not great tasting. Enjoyed the vegetarian yellow curry and chilli temptation with tofu.
Cheap tasty Asian for very cheap. The staff a quick and efficient and the food comes out fast. Plus BYO makes this place a great pick for a cheap and easy night out.
Affordable and tasty food. Love a bitta BYO too. All about the lemongrass tofu. Good vegetarian options. Usually very quick to get the food out. Sometimes takeout can be a bit slow though. Overall, a great place.
Food was amazing. We had a selection of vegan and non vegan dishes. Only reason we didn’t give 5 stars was our table was a bit sticky. We will be back

We ordered red curry (tofu), Chinese broccoli w garlic sauce, and small fried rice for 2 people and the portion is plenty! All of this the dishes are really good, I went there on Tuesday for dinner & the place is packed, service was pretty good for cheap food
I absolutely love Green Field. The food is authentic, and so reasonably priced! Don’t expect fine dining, it’s very casual but it’s great value for money. We got takeaway for four of us and spent about $50, plus they gave us a bag of prawn crackers. Highly recommend the rice paper rolls, basil stir fry with chicken and cashew, and the Mongolian beef stir fry!

Would I return? Will come back for a quick Asian meal or catch up with friends over a BYO bottle of wine.
Green Fields is a little Classic Vietnamese , Thai and Aus-Chinese gem that offers affordable meals on Sydney Road. The ambience is lively and noisy so its perfect for a catch up with friends or family if that’s your thing. Definitely not a great date place! The place is large however it can book out at peak times like Friday night at 7pm. The menu in extensive so basically anyone can find something they like here.
The food is very nice, nothing really special but tasty and fresh. My friend and I both ordered the Wonton Soup which was a stand out. For $4 we got a generous serving and the contents were delicious. Vegetables, meat, dumplings in a rich broth. We then had a serve of Dumplings which were tasty but nothing special. To finish we also shared a Prawn Red Curry and a Satay Chicken. The vegetables were fresh and cooked well, the Prawns were fresh and the chicken was really tender. Both sauces were rich with flavour and creamy.
Service? It is rushed and abit off putting however if your in a hurry it’s amazing.
Wrap up: Don’t have high expectations as its nothing fancy but it’s cheap and consistently tasty with lots of variety.
BONUS: They do cheap BYO and lunch specials. Don’t rely on their wine if you if you are after a nice drop.
Classic Vietnamese , Thai and Aus-Chinese food here for good prices!! Super yummy and super busy!! I found that although the service is rushed its never off -putting. Love this local gem
We went to Greenfields last night for the first time for over a year. As usual it was very busy but the staff managed to find a table. As usual the ambience was noisy, busy and lively. For the first time our food was a little disappointing. The mango and scallop temptation was far too creamy with little taste of mango at all. In contrast the vegetables with tofu were crisp and tasty. I think we just struck a bad night as this restaurant is usually good
A little Vietnamese gem that offers affordable meal pricing competitive with the rest of Sydney Road's Middle Eastern cheap eats. If you're feeling Viet, this is where to go. Great Pho!
The best Vietnamese Food i have ever tried in Melbourne! Much more authentic than the ones in CBD. More options in main cuisine and big portions. Decoration is Vietnamese style, especially the colourful wall xD
Been here a few times and always left satisfied. Tasty and serves good portions of ingredients including meat. Good value for money! Le boyfriend approves...
I haven’t tried the whole menu yet, but so far it’s been great flavours and a wide variety of offerings all at reasonable prices. The salt and pepper calamari has been the standout dish so far.
So last night was my second trip to Green Field and this time I took 5 adults and my two year old! Wow was all we could keep saying!!! Starters consisted of wonton soup, rice paper rolls and spring rolls all which had phenomenal tastes happening!
Mains ranged from 2 salt and pepper squid, garlic prawns, Mongolian beef, Singapore noodles, Chinese brocolli, lemon chicken, beef and cashew, fried and steamed rice and not one of us had a complaint about anything!!!!
Banana fritter was delicious too, wine was good and soooooo affordable !!! Too eat more than royalty total was $171 with drinks!!!! What a gem !!! Will be making a third and fourth visit for sure!!!!

K: Have you been looking for the perfect Vietnamese lunch in Brunswick, or perhaps even dinner? Well look no further because I think we have just found a hidden (or not) gem! Located on the very popular Sydney Rd, I was pleased to have stumbled across this restaurant boasting a menu at the front inciting it's lunch specials. Literally every meal was under $8...
Without a moment's hesitation I entered and was seated propmtly. With a nice typical ambience, I ordered the Chicken and vegetable curry rice for a whopping $7. You will not get a better value meal anywhere else in Brunswick let alone Melbourne! When the food came I could immediately smell the flavours and knew I was in for a treat. Mixing the curry and rice together and trying it, I was amazed. Think of a nice peanut satay sauce mixed with a rich curry. This was outstanding. Each bite oozed flavour into the pores of my tongue. The vegetables were fresh and cooked well, whilst the chicken was tender. Everything just made sense and complimented each other so well. I was left feeling full too!
What I also noticed was how this is a family run establishments as I spotted kids helping out with service, even interacting with customers- a rare but very pleasant and wholesome sight. A very very good restaurant serving top quality food for the best prices in Melbourne. I cannot recommend it enough and will definitely return!
Food: 4/5
Service: 3/5
Ambience: 3/5
Value: 5/5
Overall: 5/5
Bloody love this place. It’s an institution, with the best satay sauce on the block! Tofu stack is always consistently amazing. Everything else is pretty great too. Mmmmm
Second time in this restaurant and it’s really delicious! It’s very cheap and you can eat good food. I took a chicken satay, the plate came very hot and the chicken was very tender!
We have been very happy with the price and the quality of the food! We will come back for sure
Food is very nice nothing really special but tasty and fresh. Place is always busy at night so book ahead and if they say don't worry it won't be busy insist on booking anyway as there is a constant flow of people we got there at 8 pm and it was packed.
Worth the visit though and price is fantastic. Food is good, tasty and fresh but glass of red wine was very bad. Better to have beer. Service is let you down. They won’t care much once they serve the meal. They always hurry to clear the plate even there’s a food on plate.

Cheap, predictable westernised Vietnamese food. Nothing fancy but always consistent.
Always busy and always good for a Friday hangout with friends.
This is a nice cheap eat on Sydney rd. $8 for s bowl of beef pho! Lots of seating area and quick service. Food is quite tasty but don't have too high expectation! Will come back for a quick Asian meal.
Great value for money! Very tasty Pad Thai, one of the best I have had. No too difficult to accommodate vegan options. The place is always busy and quite noisy. If you want a cozier place maybe try somewhere else. Service is good.
Sometimes you get what you pay for. Serving some decent Vietnamese food and it's good value. The trade off is that the service is a bit hot and cold. I don't personally mind but not a place for a first date.
called up on the phone, told em ill drive over from my home
they said 20 minutes, thats all we need to finish
took nearly an hour, my mood was gettin sour
good thing the food was great, it was defo worth the wait
Decent Vietnamese food with decent prices. Everything you need for a good lunch.
However, we waited a little bit too much for the Pho.
Service was quite good, nothing special (just like the food).
Overall, a nice place to have lunch in Brunswick. Just like the ones you can get in Victoria st on Richmond.
Really tasty food and generous serves considering the cheap price.
Service could use some work. Called in several times to order a serve of Wonton Noodle Soup and have been told it'll take 15 - 20 minutes, however I'm generally waiting upwards of 50 minutes. Also have sat in and ordered a banquet with family, the only issue was that they brought out each serving too quickly and we didn't have much room to eat, but this wasn't worth losing sleep over.
If you don't mind waiting longer than expected, this is a great place to head to, and is my new local go-to when I'm craving Chinese.
If you're looking for a good Asian feed you can't really go past this place. The menu has a range of meat and vegetable dishes with different flavour bases so you can be guaranteed you'll find something to your tastes.
Food is reasonably priced and service was good. They very kindly let us come in right towards the end of their lunch service even though they were probably close to closing time for the afternoon.
It's always quite busy for both lunch and dinner every time I go past, suggesting it's a real winner for Asian in Brunswick
Affordable price with quite big portion. The crispy quail is delicious and juicy. Vietnamese sizzling beef is also good going with rice paper rolls.
Can't go past the Crispy Quail, one of the best dishes on the menu. It's my son's favourite dish, Wednesday night dinner covered! Staff are friendly and fast service.
I've found Green Fields to be very hit and miss taste-wise. It's cheap as chips, so that can be handy when a little on the broke side but still want to have a meal out with a friend. The food comes out quickly and all the staff are friendly. It's ok. Very child friendly as there is always many running about all over the place, sometimes screaming and laughing. No one bats an eye - I think half the time they are the staff's kids. It is what it is.
This place is just so good. Great value and delicious every time. I could eat here every night. Try their traditional sizzling beef! Pho is good too and their specials are always great.
For quick, cheap and tasty Asian food, this hits the mark. It's not going to win any Chef Hat prizes but the wonton noodle soup was full of flavour and warming. Rice paper rolls were good too. I'd definitely go back to try some of their other dishes. Oh and it was full to capacity and we were lucky to get a table, and looked like their takeaway orders were very busy also. That's always a good sign,
Awesome food! It's busy, the menu is vast and the service good. Get lots of dishes so you get to try all the amazing dishes. Get there early to avoid the rush.
Green Field is the best place to get Chinese/Viet food in Brunswick, whether it be take-away or dine in. It's not a classy affair - the decor is simple, coke comes in the can with a straw - but it's always full of people and the food is so great. Very quick in and out - delicious salt and pepper calamari. Always good to visit for a mid-week eat.
Decent place for an affordable meal. Love the calamari and the mango temptation and of course the Apollo Spring rolls.
Nothing special to look at but good portion sizes, affordable and courteous wait staff, definitely worth a try!
Very tasty food. Four of us dined and it was about $15 a head. No one went away disappointed.
The only issue we encountered was the wait for a table but other than that, I wouldn't hesitate coming back here.
Came here New Year's Day 2016. Food is good and reasonably priced.
We had the salt n pepper calamari and chicken and veggies in fried noodle basket, with a serving of fried rice. All had ok flavours, maybe just needed a little more seasoning, but you can just add that. Despite other reviews I thought the service was good and food came out in a timely manner. Considering its a very popular place and they do a lot of take away, fine effort.
Brunswick is crying out for a few more quality Vietnamese/Chinese places.
I'll be back to try some more dishes.
Its a bit noisy so we mostly get take away. The food is very authentic and quite amazing. Staff is always friendly (sometimes a bit confused) and prices are very reasonable. Try Chili Lemongrass, Hot & Sour Soup or PadThai ...
Tasty food, good value for the price. Always busy and there surely is a reason for that. One of the regular places to go either for a sit down comfy meal or a quick take away. Definitely a gem on Sydney road!
Really cheap and really good, authentic Asian food. Efficient staff. Get the plum duck it's delicious! It's not a fancy restaurant so if you're looking for a nice atmosphere this isn't it - but if you want great food that won't blow the bank then green fields is for you.
No it's not all polished up and fancy, yes it's no frills food. But yes it's definitely great Viet food!
Had the rice paper rolls to start, chicken was ok, prawn a little better tasting.
Viet coleslaw salad with chicken is a must, great flavours! For mains we had the Mongolian beef, up there with the best I've had and the ginger steamed rockling, I def recommend both.
Service was perfect, sat down within a sec and food was on the table within 10min!
Never mind the service, the food is great!!! Come here very often and have never been disappointed. Super affordable. Value for your money.
Dined here on a Friday night and by chance (and wisely!!!) called ahead and booked a table, allowing us to sit straight down.
The food is good - the pick of the bunch for us was the special Vietnamese beef where you get to make your own rice paper rolls. The crispy ginger fish was really tasty as was the fried rice.
The service is perfectly fine. I will say though there is the possibility that you may be shuffled (mid course!) to make way for others. In saying that, we didn't feel rushed at all. Oh and the beers and wines are super cheap!
The queue is constant but moves pretty quickly. Overall, Green Fields Vietnamese is almost cheaper than dining in Vietnam!
Staple restaurant for this part of town. No frills but tasty, consistent, cheap and healthy - and therefore popular but rightly so. They can pretty much do any of their stir fry's or curries as vegetarian as well.
Smells a bit like a toilet. My lunch special fish cakes was really just one fish cake cut into 4. Pho has pretty tasty, but also pretty small, with sauces instead of fresh chilli, which I prefer. At a guess I'd say there was a bit of stock powder booster in the soup. Had to wait 20mins for food, which is not ideal on a lunch break.
Strangely though I'll say I liked it. Maybe because Brunswick is still suffering for decent food. Or maybe because it was really still better than so many others!
Slowest service ever. 25 mins wait for a Pad Thai when the place is half empty.
I sing and I have singing lessons off Sydney rd after work on Mondays. Sometimes after lessons we head out to have dinner. I wanted something cheap but still yummy so we settled on Green Field on Sydney rd. I had wanted to try Green Field for a while – I had walked past it for many years now and never ventured inside. It was really busy when we got inside. Service was non existent. It was pretty bad. We waited for 15 mins, all the while trying to wave and get someone’s attention. I guess when the food is cheap they know that people are going to head in, so they don’t really care about service? Either way, we eventually got given menus. We ordered the fried eggplant, some spring rolls and a ‘make your own’ rice paper rolls set. The spring rolls were crunchy and hot but not as good as some other places I have tried. The eggplant however was delicious. It melted in your mouth and was pretty much perfect. Seriously good.
Food is so cheap and delicious and staff so friendly that you need to be a real diva to complain about this place!
Good Asian / Vietnamese restaurant.. This place offers good Vietnamese food (Southern style) with surprisingly cheap price. If you have ever been in Sai Gon (Ho Chi Minh city) before, you will probably find your Sai Gon's favourite food in this shop.
My recommendation is to try the beef with leaf in the entree, and some rice noodle (not the Pho - Pho is average here), and pan cake.
The service is okay - it's quite typical in those type of home-owned Vietnamese restaurant. You must remind the waiter/waitress about your side requests otherwise they would get distracted and forget. However, they are friendly and will eventually try their best to help you.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Service, what service?. Okay, the service is TERRIBLE here but the food is so darn cheap that we have actually stopped caring. I once ordered 2 pad thais and 1 serve of steamed dumplings for take out (I was in the restaurant so it wasn't like a poor phone line) and we got 2 pad thais and 1 serve of steamed rice.
All the male waiters I completely clueless and really forgetful and all the female waitresses look like they hate their lives (just an observation yo). Usually we can put up with the (non-existent) service and have developed a more assertive dining style (if that exists). For example, I almost always ask for fresh chopped chilli (which is actually always frozen chopped chilli). The first few times we went, the waiter would acknowledge my request and then either ignore it/get sidetracked/forget completely. I have taken to just walking to the counter and just waiting until they give me my damn chilli. Aside from the takeaway mix up, the only other time the service was annoyingly bad was when I ordered Special Fried Rice and my partner ordered Pad Thai. I had pretty much finished my entire plate of fried rice when we meekly asked a waiter where our other dish was. It showed up. Eventually.
I would say that 85% of the time, we order Pad Thai which is surprisingly chock full of tender chicken and juicy prawns. I had order the Pho on occasion which has been pretty average (and they often forget to bring out the mint and bean sprouts). The spring rolls are also pretty good (beef or chicken) and the special fried rice is generic but consistently good. The Singapore noodles are also good as they don't skimp on the meat or vegetables and it feels and tastes relatively light for cheap pan-Asian food.
If you and your dinner date have $20, time and a preference for non-specific Asian food, then Green Field is the place to go!
Great Food, Cheap & Local. I tried this place for the first time last week going off Urbanspoon reviews. In a nutshell: the food is great. I never had duck before so I wanted to try the plum duck which was really delicious. and the food is so CHEAP! which is another plus. However, i have to agree with the reviews on service. Patiently waiting gets you nowhere. Took forever for somebody to take our order, that and i also witnessed two separate tables get up and have to ask for menus. Guys, the food is great, just gotta work on the service!!
Love this Vietnamese restaurant. Ordered banquet number two. Chicken satay, sweet corn soup, sizzling beef rice paper rolls, salt and pepper calamari to die for, chicken and cashew, fried rice and creamy lime prawns followed by ice cream and fruit. All fresh, all delicious and ridiculously priced at $25 each.
The place is packed so booking is a must.
Great Familiar environment, good food. I go there a couple of times a week and I'll always return. Food is nice and cheap in price. You can enjoy their beautiful entrees with a beer or a glass of wine. Mango Temptation not to miss!
I really love the food here, and the people are very nice, however beware that this place takes a survival of the fittest approach to getting served at the counter - whether wanting to pay for your meal, or pick up a take-away, don't ever assume the 'waiting patiently to be noticed' approach will reward you with anything but half an hour of people watching as other customers arrive, order, and leave with their food all before you get a glance. I think this might be because there's no staff dedicated to manning the counter or any system in place for taking orders or making payments. But why not take this as a good opportunity to witness chaos theory in action. And always remember, the prawn mango curry temptation will soothe the savage beast.
Delicious food at a very cheap price. I highly recommend the salt and pepper squid and the plum duck.
Vietnamese food used to be accessible & a great way to eat if you didn’t want to cook. Flavoursome food bursting with taste. Green Field hits the mark, unpretentious, honest, delicious. Recommend 👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A Vietnamese restaurant serving a large range of dishes, I wanted something light and its hard to go past the vermicelli noodle salad in different versions, I chose the lemongrass chicken. It was very busy so took a little time to arrive but the wait was worth it.
Pour the sweet chilli dressing, get in there with the chop sticks and mix like hell. Then eat and enjoy the delicious tender lightly scented lemongrass chicken, soft vermicelli noodles, crunch of nuts and beansprouts, carrot, cucumber and mint. Lovely refreshing meal which just keeps you coming back for more. Excellent value meal.

To say that this place has the best Asian food in Brunswick is a huge understatement. The best value for money for quality Vietnamese/Asian food and is always packed full of people. Never been disappointed by this place ever
Absolutely amazing Vietnamese food! Fast and friendly service for a great price. Love their green curry temptation. The crispy quail and spring rolls are excellent. Their beef pho is super tasty, and I love the hot & sour soup. Totally recommend green fields. They have heaps of vegetarian options if you need.
Good joint, vermicelli noodle salad is unreal. Hidden gem. Wish they were open every day of the week
The food is Awesome!!! Tasty clean friendly staff, and the prices are exceptionally cheap.
I had the Woton Soup(see pic below) so delishious!!!
I will be coming back regularly.
