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.

Better than most Vietnamese joints at Footscray.

ordered:
Grilled pork chop, with shredded pork and pork loaf on broken rice: $11.00

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!

I've been here 3 times - I was recommended by my Vietnamese friend. When Vietnamese recommends Vietnamese food - it means it is authentic and yum. Recently we had grilled pork vermicelli, pork spring roll and sugar cane prawn vermicelli. They were so delicious! The grilled pork was on point! I wish I could have it everyday

With some many Vietnamese eateries in Footscray, it's hard to choose which one to go to when the craving for Vietnamese food hits. We parked just opposite Hao Phong and in we went. Decision made.

Right after sitting down, we were too busy eyeing what the table next to us were eating to even look at the menu. Decision made again.

The Grilled Pork Chop, Fried Egg, Pork Loaf and Shredded Pork Rice (#48) was a winner. The pork chops were tender and flavourful, and there wasn't one bad element on the plate. The Braised Duck with Egg Noodle Soup (#85) was also a great dish, although I would have liked the herbal soup to be much stronger in flavour. The braised duck was faultless though - very moist and tender.

Noticed that another reviewer mentioned that complimentary soup comes with rice dishes but I didn't get one. Not a deal breaker though. The meal was delicious and affordable, what more can I ask for?

Family-style vietnamese eatery (3.7⭐)

Ambience: The place is pretty big, with seatings inside as well, though the ones at front is a bit crampy. The place is not the cleanest, but not dirty. We find the table bit too crampy for the 5 of us (it's a table for 4)

Service: We were directly seated at the table for 4 near the window, but we saw an empty long table beside us and decided to move, but were told that it's for eight. Thus we went to the back side of the restaurant, but the only table available was the same size as the first. Nonetheless the girl serving us was nice, and food came out pretty quick. It is however a pain to call the staffs since the staffs were mainly at the front part of the restaurant. So sometimes one of us had to walk to the front or just wait for them to walk pass us.

Food: Pho (large) was yes, LARGE. Soup was tasty, beef slices, tendon and balls were all nice and tender, though can be bit more generous. Beansprouts and basil leaves were pretty fresh too. The noodle was nice, without being too soft nor hard.

Beef vermicelli bowl were yum as well, and again generous. Beef itself nicely marinated, vermicelli were nicely done, vegs were fresh and crunchy, sauce was the usual fish sauce, but everything combined, it was great.

Broken rice was really yum and generous, pork chop was well marinated and not hard, egg was well done, pork skin salad was yums and loaded, pork meatloaf was tasty, rice were cooked just right and the carrot was pickled so enjoyable!

My sister had a custom vegetarian claypot with rice and she enjoyed them, also generous portion. The fried Japanese tofu was pretty good too, though nothing very special.
Tea on the side was so warm and nice, goes so well with the dishes.
Vietnamese coffee was great, though it was like 1/3 the cup. (Asked for ice to be separated)

Oh also I love love the chili oil with fried shallots!

Price: Definitely reasonable for the taste and portion.

YUM: pho, vermicelli salad, broken rice, that chilli and shallot oil!
NAH: none

I've been to this restaurant 3 times based on other's recommendations. The first time I visited this restaurant, I had the Grilled Pork Chop, second was the Grilled Pork Vermicelli and lastly, I tried the Pho (or Rare Beef Rice Noodle Soup).

The standout dish at this restaurant is definitely the broken rice; more specifically, the Grilled Pork Chop, Fried Egg, Pork Loaf and Shredded Pork on Broken Rice (or alternatively, the chicken version). The pork is nice and tender and you definitely get value for money. 

I wouldn't eat the Pho there again (there are plenty of other good Pho places around Footscray), but the Grilled Pork Vermicelli was pretty decent.


I am basing my review on the Broken Rice dish - it's that good!

Hao Phong is my go-to-place for the broken rice and grilled pork combo. It is very delicious and is the one thing that I always order when I come here. It's very reasonably priced for the big portion of food, not to mention, it comes with free soup. The other item that I have tried on the menu is the claypot rice with prawn stuffed vegetables, which taste alright but I still prefer the broken rice for better value for money. The service is fast and I don't have to wait to be seated each time, which is great!

Tasty spring rolls (on its own, before I dip them then into the sweet sauce). Great pho too, beef is tender and sliced thinly.

Awesome porkchop and grilled chicken! Food is good in general. But fish congee was a bit of a let down - not much flavor. And definitely no grated ginger in there.

I'd like to give it a 3.5 though... the food was a mix of very good and good dishes... we had the prawn spring rolls which was good, chicken pho - very good, chicken mushroom clay pot rice - was ok and grilled chicken and pork with rice which was very tasty... Overall it was a good learning experience of the Vietnamese food culture..

We love this place!! Better pho than any other (the ones I’ve tried) in CBD. Large portions of pho noodles, meat and sprouts, and the broth was very flavorful. The rice paper rolls were also yummy, especially the dipping sauce! It was mixed with some peanut, sugar, and fish sauce(maybe?), super yummy!! We went there during Saturday lunchtime and not very busy then. Chilled and relaxing vibe. They have an extensive menu which also offers some Chinese and HK food. Pho was so filling that I didn’t feel like having dinner on that day. Highly recommend:)

One of the few restaurant in footscray that open till 9.30pm. Most of the restaurants here close around 8.30pm.

The staff was nice, and the service was quick.

We ordered
No. 48: broken rice with grill pork chop - pork chop and pork loaf was very tasty but the shredded pork was a bit hard and plain
No. 87: grilled pork chop with egg noodle - very nice, if you like spicy, try to eat it with siricha sauce provided pn the table. Pork chop was the same with the one on the broken rice
No. 41: grilled pork with rice vermicelli - my favourite. The pork was a bit sweet to complement the light taste of the rice vermicelli. Just beware that they put raw bean sprout in it. I had to put aside my raw bean sprout as I dislike it -- this one is very healty

Ambience of the restaurant is nice. Toilet is clean.

Came here for a quick lunch to satisft my pho cravings.

I went with the usual "Pho dac biet" or the special. Broth was flavoursome and not too oily.
My only gripe was the amount of meat they put in, it was a little less than usual.

All in all a good quick eat and an establishment i would return to.

A place which is quite underrated (not sure why people go to the similar one next door), for the taste and value of the food.

The signature Vietnamese broken rice with chicken, shredded pork, egg and ham (aka "The Lot") was served generously - when paired with added soup and a dilute sweet chilli sauce - the marinated chicken tastes great.

The tomato rice and chicken was also good. Nice and crunchy on the outside, and a good addition to the normal sweet chilli sauce.

The general decor of the place, while not amazing, reflects the simplicity of the set up and the nonchalant atmosphere the place brings.

No obvious complaints. Good place for a decent meal.

Always a good meal here!

This place probs serve one of the best traditional Chinese Vietnamese food here in Melbourne with all the dishes being very balanced in taste and true to its root.

We have been here multiple times trying different dishes and always had a good time. Notable dishes include the combination broken rice, salt and pepper calamari, sweet and sauce pork, and Mongolian beef.

Service was quick and efficient.

Really delicious pho! Lots of meat in there and a medium bowl was very filling for me. Also had the avocado smoothie and pork rice paper rolls which were great as well. However a bit much MSG in the pho which made me quite thirsty afterwards! But I guess that's always the case with Asian restaurants..

Passed the Footscray after sending off friend to airport.

We were craving again the Vietnamese food and we saw this restaurant on the way back.

We ordered "Broken rice" - $11.00 and "Rice vermicelli grilled pork with extra spring rolls" - $11.00 + $2.50. The price was average for a broken rice, but it was little bit expensive compared to others for a rice vermicelli as it normally gets the spring rolls included.

The grilled pork on broken rice and rice vermicelli were so amazing, well cooked. The grilled pork was tasty, crunchy and really soft when you bite. It is highly recommended.

Unfortunately, the place wasn't clean and table was oily and dirty.

Ordered prawn spring rolls, beef pho and broken rice with the works. The prawn spring rolls were crispy and so addictive that we had to order another portion. The pho was flavourful and the beef slices were tender but it was a little oily. I had to skim the oil layer off before drinking the soup. The pork cutlet that came with the broken rice was very flavourful and delicious but I wasnt a big fan of the shredded pork. Service was fast but somewhat cold.

I love Hao Phong. Have been coming here for nearly 10 years and still love coming back. I would recommend more of their chinese cantonese dishes rather than more traditional vietnamese food. Keep bringing my father in law and funnily enough reminds him of Hong Kong. Go for the fish congee, spring rolls and claypot rice.

400 blog reviews down! Hao Phong left me speechless with the generous portion sizes. It was mammoth. Myself and friends started off the new year checking out Footscray Market and headed along to Hao Phong for lunch. It offers a blend of Vietnamese-Chinese cuisine in a casual setting, not unlike many of the other eateries on Hopkins Street. The tea on table and DIY cutlery and all too familiar and you can also expect the same friendliness, speed and value as well. I veered from the group in ordering my own dish as well as getting away with a steal of some of the other plates. Imagine great tasting food, interesting flavours and an authentic experience.

I've been here a few times now and while it's certainly not fancy the food is fantastic. The dipping sauce you get when you order rice paper rolls is as good as I've had in Vietnam. I tend to order the Szcheun beef hotpot which can be anything from a kick of chilli to burning depending on the strength of the chillies they've used that day. Definitely strong bold flavours. Come here when you want something tasty and traditional you pretty much won't find anything that's better value for money

Incredible atmosphere of locals which brings a lot of travellers in as clearly this is the place to go!
The meals were all large and very filling.
The fried chicken and vermicelli was one of the best Vietnamese meals I've eaten and I've been to Vietnam. The chicken was perfectly cooked, boneless, and very generous in size. This sat on top a bed of sprouts, herbs and vermicelli which once covered in the dipping sauce was sensational. My friends meals were also delicious from what I tasted.
Highly recommend if in Footscray.

My brother raves about this place for their broken rice. He thinks their broken rice is the best in Footscray. So my husband decided to try it out. I'm not a broken rice fan so I opted for a pho.

My husband said the broken rice was OK but not out of the ordinary. He gave it a 3/5.

My pho was nice but not as good as other pho places in Footscray. It would be a 3/5.

The spring rolls were piping hot and came with the right amount of vegetables which was a bonus. 5/5

Overall the place was nice but not as amazing as my brother had us to believe, in our humble opinion.

DO: Anything you fancy, but I recommend the broken rice pork chop or the deep fried chicken with tomato rice. Mmmm just like how mum makes it.

DON'T: Stop there, all the other pho and bun dishes are just as tasty one would suspect.

TIP: Go with a large group and sit out the back, it's a little more private and you can get a little noisier. Cheap and cheerful.

Went to Hao Phong on a fairly cold winters night, the free chinese tea they provide was very welcome, nice and warming. Had no trouble getting a table despite reports of having to wait. Service was okay, we had to wait a bit to catch the attention of someone after first ordering our entree.

We had vegetarian rice paper rolls for starters, they were very fresh and the peanut sauce they came with was super. For mains we had lemongrass and chilli beef even though it wasn't on the menu. We also had chinese broccoli with garlic sauce despite ordering it with oyster sauce.  We also had plain rice for two and were provided with more than enough to go with our dishes. Both dishes were pretty good, though a little more lemongrass would have made it better.

The atmosphere at Hao Phong is nothing too special, some artwork on the walls, conference chairs for seating. No music just the buzz of noise from other diners.

Fairly priced, we'll probably go back again, but there will be no rush to do so.

This place is everything you expect from a local Vietnamese place in Footscray. The place is packed, the decor old and tired but the food is authentic, comes out quick, is plentiful and tastes damn fine. Not being Vietnamese myself I can only guess that this place strikes the fine balancing act of keeping to its traditions whilst catering for the non Vietnamese clientele.The special fried rice is chock full of prawns and pork and the beef and black bean is surrounded by crunchy veggies and melts in the mouth. A couple of mains and an entree will set you back roughly $40-45. Great value for money..if you're anywhere near Footscray and have s Vietnamese hankering go no further than this little spot.

I've tried the "Number 63" - clay pot rice with stuffed eggplant, capsicum and bean curd. It was really good, definitely going back for more 😋

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. 🥰lovin it

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.

- Grilled Pork Bowl w Satay and Dry Vermicelli - Prawn Rice Paper Roll - Wonton Soup w Rice Noodle - BBQ Pork Bowl w Rice Noodle Dry - Honey Chicken in Batter - Vegetarian Spring Rolls 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!
