My favourite restaurant in Footscray. I eat here perhaps once a fortnight or so, never had a bad meal. I love their vermicelli with grilled pork, seafood fried rice noodles and clay pot rice. It’s the best of both worlds, Chinese and Vietnamese food under one roof. The shakes are delicious too. The price use to be very good but have been creeping up steadily the last couple of years so getting less competitive.
Hao Phong is our preferred Deliveroo option when we want Vietnamese. Their pho is excellent but we really like the beef sesame noodles too. They get a million points for consistency. We order from them once or twice a week and the food that arrives is always indistinguishable from our previous order. Ingredients are fresh and the food is always delicious.
Went there on a weekend for lunch. It was packed! The atmosphere reminded me of home. It was really cosy, packed, full of people enjoying the food. This place is known for their pho and grilled pork chop broken rice.
I had the grilled pork chop with broken rice and bbq pork with egg noodle. Both of them were soooooo good!! I'm bold enough to say it's the best viet restaurant in melbourne. Super authentic.
The portion is big and it's relatively cheap!! This is a must-go place when in Melbourne guys.
Hao Phong is easily my go to for Vietnamese food when in Footscray. Their broken rice with pork chops (com tam) is the best I’ve had in Melbourne. The pork is full of flavour and so juicy. Highly recommended! Their other dishes are also delicious I’ve never had a dish I didn’t love.
Hands down, this restaurant makes the best Grilled pork on rice (Com Tam) in the western suburbs. The meat is so tender, juicy and flavoursome! Not an inch of dryness. They do it super well here, I’m impressed. I didn’t realize how bad other restaurants made this dish until I ate it here. Now I won’t go to another restaurant for it.
They also give you two Pork pieces instead of one!
I also ordered crispy chicken on tomato rich which was average and salt and peppered tofu which was way too heavily battered. The Com Tam has earned the 4 stars though.
I loved their broken rice. Their pork chop was tender and full of flavour. Their pickled veggies was very crisp and fresh. Their shredded pork did not have any smell which is great.
This has got to be one of the best tasting ones in town. The Chicken or Grilled Pork Broken Rice is the best I've ever had. Always end up craving that. Also, their noodles are delicious too. If you were to try a dish.. I'd highly recommend recommend the Broken Rice or the BBQ Grilled Chicken on Tomato Rice or Vermicelli noodles.

They do not only offer Pho, but also the other Asian popular dishes. It doesn't mean that they cannot provide a good pho, and they really did. Their pho is delicious and soup base taste sweet and fresh. The BBQ PORK with rice is amazing as well. Compared with the others, they have good quality and environment.
Definitely my favourite Vietnamese restaurant in Footscray. My family and I have been coming here for years now. Super friendly staff and the food is always on point - crispy egg noodles are always my go to!
Better than most Vietnamese joints at Footscray.

Review:
Love Vietnamese broken rice because Mum rarely never makes it at home and it’s a real treat when she does! But when you have that craving Footscray’s vast Vietnamese restaurants have you covered. I reckon this place has the best broken rice grilled pork I have! It has the char grilled favour, its incredibly Smokey on the outside but extremely juicy on the inside! Shredded pork was a nice addition to the dish, pork loaf was the best I had in Footscray..it doesn’t have too much msg like the one opposite chain chain. It comes to your table nice and quick, and fills you up to the brink. I really enjoyed their soup accompanied with the rice dish, it had a natural tasting chicken stock flavour with fresh veggies! Definitely didn’t have much msg in that broth :). But nothing really wowed me it was only slightly better than the places I’ve been!
What a blast! Definitely visit here next time.
We got Special Pork Chops 🐖 Rice
& Special Grilled chicken 🐓 with Rice.
Such a huge protion. Worth it.
Presentation was full of variety, there were carrots pickles, egg, shredded pork on side. Vietnamese signature sweet and sour dipping sauce.
Great fragrance, I can tell they use secret citronella receipts to marinate the meat. Perfect balanced savoury-flavours.

Popular and busy place on the main strip in Footscray.
Tables turn over pretty quick so able to be seated without a booking.
Simple decor and a little squishy - enough room though that you aren’t uncomfortable.
Helpful staff and food was pretty good too.
Complimentary hot tea on the tables is a lovely little touch.
Delicious vietnamese broken rice. If u enjoy girlled pork with some fat u must try their broken riceee.
Reasonable pricing. Good portion. Its a bit tight inside in terms of space. Free tea to cleanse your palate before eating.
Killer serving size, fresh juicy pork with excellent BBQ aroma. Perfect meal for less than $15 🙏🏼
This place never disappoints !!! Food comes out quick and is always steaming hot and delicious. Service is quick and attentive - my favourite dish is the salted fish fried rice and the quails ! (But to be honest everything is pretty good here) If you still have stomach space afterwards definitely try the panna cotta logan lychee dessert - so refreshing 😛
Absolutely amazing. One of the best traditional Vietnamese places in the area. Delicious food and good vibes. The drinks were super refreshing!! There was a cute waiter named Beckham too I think? Treated us so well and politely mannered. Definitely coming back here every time I’m in the area. 11/10.

I was recommended this authentic Vietnamese restaurant by one of my best friends, who swears it is her favourite. My favourite out of all the meals ordered was the Grilled BBQ Pork bowl, I felt so healthy and fresh afterwards. The honey chicken was also delicious and apparently their avocado smoothie (sounds odd I know) is amazing!
What a restaurant! Beautiful authentic lovely Vietnamese food. Customer service is top tier along with quality and price. One of my favourite places to go!
