Family night out took the whole family to Vu gia for the first time and ordered the pipi xo and the hotpot set with fish and it was really nice and full of flavour that broth was like tomyum but added abit heat to make it more spicy. Everyone had a good time and the owner was really friendly and welcoming
There is a lot of competition in Sunshine, and this place stacks up well. The rice paper rolls are fresh and the pho broth has plenty of flavour. Not a bad place for lunch.
My wife and I have lived in Sunshine for 5 years and were regulars at many restaurants including Phu Vinh, Co Do, Pho Hien, Mambos and Afghan Master Kebabs. After discovering Vu Gia recently, we have become regular customers. The peaceful atmosphere is a welcome change compared to some other busy restaurants which sometimes meant dirty/ sticky floors, tables and cutlery.
For the last couple months, we’ve visited Vu Gia weekly for the Mongolian beef in claypot; it comes out hot!!! It’s delicious and nothing is ever left behind by the Mrs who is a fussy eater. The Pho isn’t good so go elsewhere but the Hu Tieu Xao and Mi Xao were good.
Its a shame Vu Gia only has an average rating, like many others out there, because it is not always a true reflection of the place. Likewise, a higher rating restaurant doesnt necessarily mean it’s always great.
Point is, try and see for yourself and you might be pleasantly surprised like we have.
Good food and very friendly waiter! The Bun Cha has lean meat and still soft and juicy! The taste is not overly sweet and has many authentic Vietnamese dishes.
Love coming here for lunch or dinner. Been here about 4 or 5 times now and the food is always on point. The owner is super friendly too. Will definitely come back on the regular. So far we've had the pho, the broken rice and the tomato rice with diced beef and it's all great.
Really authentic Northern Vietnamese food. The best pho in Melbourne as of May, 2016. The chicken pho here is amazing. Other dishes to try including Bun Ca and Banh Cuon. The service is also great, the owners are very nice people. A hidden gem in Sunshine.

This isn't a review but a message for the owners. I genuinely hope it helps. I had a banh mi next door and noticed you are having an ongoing problem with non customers using your outdoor tables. I understand that would be frustrating. Can I offer a much more effective solution than writing over and over on the tables, telling people not use them, in a repeated scrawl that no-one is reading. Instead, keep the chairs and tables clean and tidily arranged and dress them up with tablecloths and menus. You can use the outdoor tables to entice people into your restaurant. And people will immediately notice the difference between your tables and next doors. If you want to add a note about non customers not using them, get some cheap brochure display holders from Officeworks. An upright sign will be noticed more. But more attractive tables and menus will be a lot more effective. All the best.
Had a fantastic brisket and flank soup. Spring roles are great. Good fresh healthy food at a cheap price.
Very nice food for very affordable prices. Staff are very friendly too and EFTPOS welcome
Nice food a little slow as less waitress
