Came here a few times and had a few items from the menu:
- The cracking pork is really nice, however, it can get a bit salty and super hard though.
- The bbq pork roll is nice, a lot of meat in it!
- The roast pork with salad - this is nice, the slaw and pork matched well together and balanced the flavours, the only downside is that there are a lot of oil dripping from it as you can see at the bottom of the container.
We ordered Mr Crackles’ Classic roll and a crackling cup on the side. The roll was massive in portion and stuffed with tender chunky pork belly pieces and fresh Vietnamese salad - it was so delicious! The crackling cup on the side added extra crunch to our lunch. The only downside was Mr Crackles was a takeaway/fast food style joint so there were barely any seats/spots even for a quick feed.
Those crackling are amazing and the meat roll is yummy! The service is good and they can get quite busy during peak hours
Been on the list for a long time and didn’t disappoint. Had a bit of everything but was very impressed with the quality of the pork... crackle excellent, beautiful flavours and not too fatty either. The char Sui pork was also superb
The pork was some of the juiciest pork I’ve had, with crunchy crackle on top it gets a massive tick!! Potato gems and chicken bites both very nice, the Mac and cheese special was just ok.
Friendly happy looking staff behind the counter. Amazing view of the meat on display. Love the preparation in front from the cutting of the crackling to ladling on the fixins. A bit too pricey to be a go to place, it seems to be a dressed up version of a Bahn mi :)
Walked in on a Tuesday evening around 5:30pm and there was no line up.
The restaurant itself is quite small, only seating approx 15ppl at counters around the perimeter of the restaurant.
The menu is pretty straight forward; Pork, pork and more pork.
The classic crackles was good. The baguette was crunchy, the vietnamese salad was pickled carrots, cucumber and cabbage. The star of the roll was the roast pork. Soft, juicy and tender the meat was cooked perfectly. The crackling was crisp and not overly salty. The only issue I had was that the meat was actually cold. Even if it was a tad warm it would of made the roll that little bit better in my opinion.
Looking forward to trying out the other items on the menu. The char siu looked amazing tasty.
Approx. $20pp

the most glorious pork roll for a while 😍 vietnamese style pork roll with crispy pork 🤗 if only i could have one everyday 🙁 8/10 for flavour, texture and price!
I've been meaning to try out this popular outlet for ages and managed to do so on a wet and cold weekend night. Who doesn't like pork crackle right?
The shop was warm and comforting. It was unfortunately slightly dishevelled bordering on dirty but they must have been too busy to notice. I had the crackles classic. The crispy pork crackle was exactly what my dreams are made of. The pork meat was tender and went well with the fresh crunchy Vietnamese salad. My only complaint was that the roll was hard as! It was abrasive on my palate.
The pork crackle with chicken salt was way too salty. Best to go with the nori one next time.
So it wasn't a perfect experience but it was certainly close enough!
