Review Loc's Cafe Pho & Rolls - Hawthorn

Best chicken pho I've had in AGES! Super friendly and welcoming staff. The ban mi looks crazy good. Def going to make it a regular lunch spot. Thank you!

Best pork rolls I’ve ever eaten! When I seen loc slice up the fresh pork with crackle I was already licking my lips, great portion of salad added to the roll good ratio of chilli! Perfect! I’ll be back for more for sure! Friendly and polite service too!

Great little business located right near Auburn Railway Station on Auburn Road. Prices are good and the food is delicious. I would 100 percent recommend trying this place. I ordered a chicken roll 🐔 😁

I had the banh mi and the rice rolls. I felt like it could use some extra seasoning. The banh mi was a bit dry and a little too flat for me. The service is very good and I appreciate the owners attention to detail.

Great place for a Vietnamese fix. Fresh and tasty dishes made by the husband and wife, just like a home cooked meal. Must get the smoothie!!!

Hands down best Pho I’ve ever had. And amazing Viet rolls, too👌. Extremely friendly service. Highly recommend!

Ordered roast pork roll. Asked for cracking. She put none in. I asked if it had crackling, she said yes lots. There was none just fatty chewy skin. Massive fail.

Probably the worst resteraunt ive ever eaten at, for an asain youd think theyd make good fried rice.... its was not good at all i couldnt even eat that, my already cooked chicken got micowaved and yet wa still pink will not be going there ever again do not recomend

Great little cafe, the best chicken roast rolls ever. The service is always incredible, the lady always knows my order when I come in and always greets me warmly. Lovely owners and lovely food!

I regularly treat myself to a bowl of pho and rice paper rolls from here and am always surprised by the friendly service, portion size and price. Very much a casual dining experience but the cafe is always very clean and welcoming with an unexpectedly varied selection of Australian/Vietnamese options available.

3.6 with distinct capacity to go higher.<br/><br/>Hello Sailor down the road was full for lunch. Not a seat inside to be had. We tried this interesting new cafe instead.<br/><br/>It appears to be a great budget priced addition to the area and was doing steady business when we visited. There was very good lunch time trade which I’d estimate at about 60-70% takeaway. We sat in. There is a nice bright fit out here. It’s modern, light and and tasteful with thought and care clearly applied. The only downer was the artificial flowers. <br/><br/>We noted lots of energy behind the counter. The place really hums. They have a curious mixed Aussie and Vietnamese menu here. It works though. There are numerous Aussie breakfast standards at absolute bargain prices, eg a big breakfast for $12! Lots of Vietnamese standards there too and those are what particularly took our eye.<br/><br/>The food is rustic but who actually cares. The food is delicious. We started with pork and prawn rice paper rolls. These were beautifully fresh, large and wonderful. I’m not sure I could fault them and I’ve not had many better in much fancier Vietnamese establishments. A fantastic cafe starter.<br/><br/>I had a BBQ pork banh mi next. This had nice flavour. The meat was was extremely good and was nicely flavoured and cooked. It needed just a little more chilli and I kicked myself that I didn’t ask that it be fully powered as I suspect it was toned down a little for local taste. But, several hours later I can still taste the length so there was some power there to be sure. The bread wasn’t quite Victoria St standard but was still good. Overall it was still a very very nice lunch roll and one that customer after customer was coming in to order.<br/><br/>The world’s most beautiful woman had the steak sandwich which looked excessively ordinary when it arrived at the table. Looks can be deceiving as she quickly declared it to be beautifully made and delicious and bursting with flavour. She couldn’t get over the quality of the meat and the fact that it had been cooked with a lovely touch of pink still evident. For $10 with a drink included as a daily special, the steak sandwich was clearly highway robbery.<br/><br/>We had very pleasant, happy, friendly service throughout. Every customer was treated similarly. This is a fantastic cafe option in this area. The food and service are terrific. We’d be very surprised if this place doesn’t continue to thrive.

My friend and I ordered pho and chicken parmagiana. The food are decently priced and generously portioned. We also ordered Vietnamese iced coffee, which my friend liked so much. The guy and the lady who served us are super friendly!  Overall, it was not a bad experience at all. I will definitely come back here again.
