Review Sapa Sister - Footscray

$48 for feed me option. Very accommodating with dietary requirements and favourite requests. Super friendly staff. Best of all food was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to come back.

Sapa Hills was full so we were quickly brought over to Sapa Sisters. Service was definitely more on the efficient side than friendly. Fried Fat Noodle, DIY Pork Roll and the Grilled Pork Salad. I found the salads to be the best tasting part of the meals. Everything was fresh and crisp with a fish sauce like dressing that added saltiness and sweetness at the same time. The Fried Fat Noodle had a good flavour hit with the 5 spice and a nice hint of chilli ( I didn't find it too spicy). However, the noodles themselves were a let down as they were served in clumps and not that silky texture that I was expecting. I was in between a 4 or 5 star rating but I'm gonna go with 4 because of the pricing. I do believe the quality doesn't exactly match the price, still good flavours but not for what they are charging. Also, not sure if it's just me but I thought $6.50 was a bit much for a Vietnamese Iced Coffee as it's normally less than that at most other restaurants in Footscray, however they did serve it in a tall large glass that wasn't just packed full of ice so it was justified - in case anyone else is wondering

Sapa Hill and Sapa Sister ... Two cuisines coming from one kitchen ... And this one, Sapa Sister is a modern compliation of South-east Asian cuisine ... brings a bit of joy seeing food being delivered from next door ... Beef jungle curry, too much lemongrass and overly sweet ... Silken tofu Grilled chicken salads Pork Belly, must reorder Sapa special spring roll, the most authentic Vietnamese dish of the night. Crispy eggplant, that was the highlight Definitely it's not your typical Vietnamese cuisine ... and it's bloody good.

Great service, big smiles all around which is always nice to see. Food was delicious too - we had the sapa spring rolls, honey and pepper beef and, fried rice. All three dishes were delicious! They also had a really good drinks menu. We had the lychee and lime crush. The vibe of the place was really cool too with nice decor.

Unfortunately I am giving it 3 stars because the service is slow. Tonight, we waited an hour to get our main dishes. Food is delicious though. I hope the next time I come, service will be more friendly and timely.

The food is incredible! Atmosphere is very modern and fashionable. I've been here twice abd they have so many vegan options as well. Dishes in Sapa sister are definitely on another level

Clean, great service and awesome food.

Sapa Hills new little sister, same same but different :) Food is very good, we were seated quickly, handed our menu and food was delivered quickly once we ordered as well. It tasted fantastic! They didn't have the beer I ordered but other than that. Loved the fresh vibe and a great addition to the streetscape of Footscray. Hope others take notice and lift their game in relation to presenting their restaurants.

Amazingly tasty food!<br/>We originally went to Sapa Hills for a table not knowing that Sapa sister is the same restaurant two doors down.<br/>On a busy Saturday night we waited ten minutes for a table and got seated in a cool little restaurant with neon lights that is Sapa Sister.<br/>We ordered the beef skewers and prawn spring rolls to start and the pad see ew and garlic prawns as mains. This was plenty of food for three girls.<br/>The starters were standouts and the pad see ew with a smoky sticky sauce and rolled noodles was seriously impressive.<br/>They had an extensive drinks menu and bar and the Frose cocktail which was specialed for the evening was so damn good.<br/>A great place for Viet food with nice service. Would definitely return to try some of the other menu items which looked delicious.<br/>

Have always lived in the western suburbs and footscray being one of the places Ive been too for the longest time and eating at local restaurants. <br/>My friend and I were hungry one night and decided to go out and eat however it was getting late on a weekday and sapa sisters was one of the restaurants still opened. <br/>We know that staying local when it comes to vietnamese restaurants is always best however, this was a little disappointing <br/>As it seems, Sapa Sisters is catering to more of a western/hipster vibes. I mean its good but the food is a little disappointing. I know Sapa Hills and Sapa Sisters are owned by the same person as its coming out of the restaurant but the prices for these dishes arent the same as the locals - surrounding restaurants. <br/><br/>Food:<br/>Com Tam, this was a dish i grew up eating at restaurants in Footscray and St. Albans. The way its plated is more modern compared to the others but what threw me off is the price of the dish and its portion size. This dish was about $14 but the portion was just way smaller than other restaurants and what was disappointing was the taste. It was mediocre and now ive learnt that I should stick to the other local restaurants if I want rice dishes. <br/><br/>Service:<br/>The team there are honestly very nice. I feel like I gave them a decent rating just based on their customer service skills and not the food. <br/><br/>Overall, it does seem more pub like and catering to those that aren't locally in the suburbs, just a shame that the authenticity of the dishes isn't there :( definitely was a miss for me.

Well decorated and designed outlet. Food was plated well and the servings were of decent size. When walking in I saw that the food was being made in Sapa Hills and then ran over by staff to Sapa Sister. Very modern and grundgy. Check it out if looking to splurge a little bit.

Probably should have done a bit more research prior to our evening visit.<br/>Only a few doors down from Sapa Hills but a long way short.<br/>We'll stick to the food venue rather than this.<br/><br/>

Nice Vietnamese place with a slicker feel than the usual Vietnamese places in Footscray! Yes, you will see food walked down the street from Sapa Hills, I am assuming that they are setting up the kitchen for Sisters and still preparing from the other restaurant- it’s kind of funny, yet it enhances the experience and it’s pretty impressive they make it work that way! Food looks and tastes fresh and delicious. We had the ginger and prawn dumplings, the lemongrass and chilli crocodile, and the spring rolls vermicelli salad. All very generous sized, and so yummy. We also ate a whole range of dishes with our eyes, and we saw them being taken to other tables. We’ll definitely be back!

Nice and clean venue. Vietnamese restaurant licked by a hipster. The food comes from Sapa Hill so you will see waiters come in and out of the front door. The special Sapa spring rolls are must try. Large and meaty. The Hainanese chicken is not traditional as it is served with black rice. It was a tad on the ginger side. There is also no tea / hot drink available.

Sapa Sister = Sapa Hills! With darker lighting and more pub-like atmosphere. Came here for lunch and got disappointed as we were expecting to see a different menu. Pretty sure our food came out from Sapa Hills' kitchen 😂. Anyway chicken ribs on tomato rice was always a safe option, but not really a fan of their wonton noodles soup. Too bland, the vegetable cuts were too big and made it hard to eat.

First time here, food and atmosphere was great! Had the steamed barramundi, was cooked perfectly. As too was the tofu salad and the house special spring rolls. <br/><br/>Exactly the same as their Sister restaurant Sapa Hills though. In fact the food came from the same kitchen. It would be nice to have something different, just a little extra flair or something to distinguish the two.

Sapa Sister is the sister restaurant of Sapa Hills with the same menu.<br/>Crowd is pretty much the same crowd that goes to Sapa hills.Nothing outstanding about the food or service either.<br/>Be prepared to pay a premium just because they serve alcohol and cater to a more western clientele.

Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️<br/>Taste: ⭐️⭐️⭐️<br/>Ambiance: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️<br/>Value: ⭐️⭐️⭐️<br/><br/>Sapa Sister is the sister restaurant of Sapa Hills with the same menu. Aside from presentation, nothing is special about the food. <br/><br/>I ordered the Broken Rice (Com Tam) and it tasted just like any other restaurant in Footscray. An area for improvement would be to have the grilled pork precut to eliminate the need of using a knife. <br/><br/>A great place if you are happy to pay a premium for better staff and dining atmosphere.
