We ordered the prawn and pork dry noodle. One with the rice noodle and another with egg noodle. The sauce that they used contain lards which is great and what I think gave it that tasty flavour! Too bad that the pork slices in the noodle are tough, dry and tasteless.
We've tried almost all Vietnamese restaurants within 500m walking distance from North Richmond Station.
I had lunch with a group of mates who were identified as Rice Vermicelli lovers.
This time we wanted to try a new Vietnamese restaurant over our normal distance.
Checked my food apps and it came up in the first list "Thanh Phong", this restaurant actually had really good review.Alrightey, It's time to prove it!
We arrived to this restaurant and welcomed by a friendly wait staff.
The place was clean, modern interior design and bright.
The wait staffs were very attentive and service really good.
I know that many people would get confused when they go to Vietnamese restaurants as they do have many options with unfamiliar dish name.
Don't worry when you come to this restaurant, the friendly wait staff would narrow it down for you and just have a look for the options that you feel like without you even ask for it.
I ordered rice vermicelli with shredded pork and spring rolls for $12.00.
The food came pretty fast and everything was served hot, fresh and good presentation.
Ohh apparently in this restaurant, the wait staff would give you the options to choose whether you want to go with chicken or pork spring rolls unlike surrounding Vietnamese restaurants.
The portion was generous enough and shredded pork was tasty and not dry.
Spring rolls were well fried, seasoned and served crispy. It was very crunchy outside and tender inside - amazing.
Overall, we had a great time having lunch in Thanh Phong. The food had great taste, good quality with reasonable price.
Definitely happy to recommend this place.
