Have been wanting to try Ms Kim’s since it opened. Wasn’t disappointed. If you want cheap and slightly oily Vietnamese Footscray still serves a purpose. But this sort of quality and variety is long overdue in Williamstown. Started with the Vietnamese pancake and spring rolls. Loved both but the pancake was a standout. For mains we shared the seafood congee, beef stew, and barramundi clay pot. Robert and Kim were welcoming and the staff were on the ball. These guys are a long overdue edition to Williamstown. We’ll be back.
Thank you Kim for tonight’s dinner � Your selection of food suited all of us at the table� the atmosphere was buzzing � the food itself was delicious ��� We will recommend you to all our friends � we will be back with my in laws next �
The food is fantastic!
Kids loved the Pho... Delicious!
Sticky ribs was amazing - a must have.
Prawns were delicious.... Pork Spring Rolls...
We pretty much tried everything including deserts which were also fresh & very tasty!
Granted they have only been open for 5 days - few staff issues which is to be expected - have some patience & enjoy the food when it arrives.
Highly recommended.
Will be back very soon.

We let Kim pick lunch for us - she brought out spring rolls, Vietnamese pancake, sticky ribs, stew and rice. We absolutely loved everything!! Food, service and decor were all brilliant. We will definitely be regulars. Thanks Kim and Robert - welcome to Williamstown.
Absolutely fabulous afternoon. Great staff and the meals were delicious. We’re definitely coming back
Delicious yummy food. We’ve been here quite a few times and the food is always 10/10. I’m really shocked by all the feedback on here because I’ve always had such a great experience. The food is seriously amazing and the service always great too. Definitely worth a try and by far the best restaurant in Williamstown.
I highly rate this restaurant, the service and food were both outstanding.
We had the 6 course feed me menu and it just keep getting better and better.
Certainly my favourite Vietnamese restaurant in the area.
Cannot wait to return.
Best Asian food in town. Great dining experience with awesome service. Food was high quality. Asian flavours were 5 star. Was not disappointed. Highly recommend. Already looking forward to going back.
Everything about Ms Kim is amazing! Such a fantastic dining experience. The food is so fresh and delicious and the service friendly and efficient. Even the drinks we had were delicious. I would highly recommend Ms Kim to anyone looking for delicious, modern Vietnamese food and fantastic service. I highly recommend the Roast pork banh mi, Sticky Pork Ribs with apple salad and the Salt and Pepper Calamari with orange salad. Yum! The coconut panacotta with seasonal fruits for dessert was delicious too. The Lychee and Ginger Fizz was also very refreshing. 10 out of 10 Ms Kim! Loved everything about this place!
Awesome food. Service was amazing, Very friendly.
The Banh Xeo was delicious! The beef wagyu rice paper rolls were so so good.
They found out it was my birthday and brought out a small cake at the end of the night and sang Happy Birthday it was super nice. Loved it and will 100% be going back-Thank you xxxx-
Food and service were great. Recommend the Banh Mi, we all enjoyed it. Spring rolls ( wrapped in lettuce leaves) was also good as was the salt & Pepper calamari and Vietnamese beef.
Will definitely go back!
I had lunch with my friend, the first time we’d been. The staff were so attentive and friendly. The food was amazing! Not only tasted amazing but looked so good as well. We’ll definitely be going back!
We finally went to Ms Kim today and let me tell you...this place is a 10 out of 10 in every way!!
Its by far the best Vietnamese i've had and the friendlyness and kindness of Kim and her family is just amazing!
They really are very down to earth and genuine people.
The Banh Xeo was so delicious! The barramundi in clay pot was the perfect amount of spicy and the beef wagyu rice paper rolls were so fresh.
We could not fault a single thing about this place and we will definately be returning on a regular basis.
A must try in Williamstown. Amazing staff. Great atmosphere. Great food. Lamb rack as a special two thumbs up. Coconut pudding, don’t hesitate just order it; you won’t be disappointed.

Absolutely fantastic experience and will be back over & over again! Such a great feel! From the moment we walked in we were greeted so warmly. The food was delicious!
Amazing food and very personal, friendly service. The Sticky Pork Ribs with Apple Slaw is to die for.
The decor is smart yet cosy, and the cocktails are as delicious as the food.
This is quickly becoming my fav restaurant.
Exceptional!
Best Vietnamese food I’ve ever had! We were lucky enough to have a banquet at our Christmas party and got to try many dishes - every single one was delicious. Can’t wait to come back with family and friends. Loved it!
Dined for dinner last night. This restaurant is by Kim Tran, one half of Kim & Suong from this year's MKR tv show/competition. We shared the sticky pork ribs with apple salad, caramelised barramundi in claypot with recommended herbal rice & roti. For dessert we got the coconut pudding with seasonal fruit. I also had the lychee, ginger & mint fizz mocktail. Both food & drinks were delicious & well presented. Slight negative for us was the price as very expensive for what you get. $35 for barramundi, $33 for pork ribs which was only 4 pieces, dessert $16 & mocktail $13 (most expensive mocktail I've ever ordered anywhere to date). Service was friendly however staff need to be trained on being more attentive. Hope to return & try other menu items as overall we enjoyed the food.
Keeping up with my theme of eating out at TV chefs from MKR restaurants wondered out for some Vietnamese.
We really enjoyed the soup was 10 / 10, the ribs with tamarind was melt in your mouth. The lamb was also greag too. The Paw paw salad with wagu could have done with a touch more chilli.
Overall servings were on the smaller side and service was a little lacking as we did have to follow up on a couple of dishes.
But it was lovely to meet Kim and her husband as we watched her mingle with her diners and had a very good chat with us too
Great place in the centre of Williamstown. The decor is fresh and fun, and the food and service are great. We tried the Vietnamese chicken rice, banh xeo and coconut pudding and were not disappointed. Bold fresh flavours and meticulous presentation.
Thank you Kim and co. I had the prawn and pork pancake and it was absolutely delicious. Each bite was as good as the first, as the flavours were well balanced throughout. The herbs were a perfect addition to the crunchy pancake which I thought would be heavy but it was in fact light. I will definitely be back to try the other menu items.
Loved the atmosphere of Ms Kim’s it is bright & beautiful, the satin lanterns are a gorgeous touch as is the open fire.
Food was tasty it could have used a bit more spice but the flavours were fresh & delicious. Loved the beef paw paw salad.
Service needs a like bit refined, some staff were excellent others lacked confidence. It is still early days so i am sure this will improve.
Was a bit pricey but worth a good night out.
Delicious food. A little on the pricey side but definitely worth it. We had the pancakes, rice paper rolls, sticky pork, ginger chicken and barramundi. My favourite was the pork. Can’t wait to go back.
First time at Ms Kim for some modern vietnamese style food. Came here last night for a friend birthday and we ordered a few dishes. Each dish was spot on and delicious. The customer service is friendly and Rob and Kim was very welcoming. Definitely be back again to dine.
Yum yum yum!!! So excited Kim chose Williamstown for her new restaurant. The food was fresh and delicious! Can’t wait to go back. The staff was lovely too. Very friendly and fun!
My new local Vietnamese restaurant no more Footscray drives for me! Great staff and each dish is so fresh, a flavor explosion in every dish. Absolutely amazing, and they do take away if you’re on the go. You will want to come back for more.

Tldr; top quality food, top notch service, 11/10 love. Coming back again and again.
I know what you're thinking. Why in the hell would I eat here when I can get cheap Viet food from my local Viet hub? WELL. You just couldn't compare the two. Ms Kim is working hard to change the long endured Viet status of cheap and tasty with her delicious take on traditional dishes and e.x.c.e.p.t.i.o.n.a.l customer service.
We turned up on a buzzing Thursday night without a booking and sat at the bar which gave us opportunity to observe and banter with the staff. Unlike your usual Viet joints, the staff here want to get to know you and no table was left neglected. All this while food was brought out fairly quickly.
The Vietnamese pancake (banh xeo) was light and crispy, and weird as it sounds, every bite tasted fresh. I'm a messy eater so the nuoc mam ended up running down my arm.
Pork and prawn in mustard greens soup took me back to mom's kitchen. The greens make it healthy, the taste makes it home. I called mom to say I loved her thinking about this dish the next day. 🤭
The barramundi claypot was perfectly cooked, and beef stew was full of hearty flavour. The beef itself was moist and fall-apart tender.
Cocktails are a must, especially the Good Morning Vietnam. It is SO bloody dangerous.
Kim, Rob, Zoli and Harley's efforts to make you feel at home don't go unnoticed. I could go on about the conversations and belly aching laughter we had that evening but it's better for you to experience it yourself. And they're more than happy to pose for photos.
A fantastic meal of delicious & comforting food (full of flavour), unique & tasty cocktails with a Vietnamese flare with friendly top notch service! They truly want you to enjoy their food and atmosphere. We had the Vietnamese Pancake, Caramelised Barramundi, Pork & Prawn soup with mustard green vegetable and Vietnamese Beef Stew. All dishes were thoroughly enjoyed! Will be back again for sure.
Love the atmosohere and the service is amazing. The barrumundi was oozing with flavour and the apple salad complimented the pork dish so well!

@ Ms Kim today - Every dish brought out was beautifully presented and delicious! My Invited lunch guests were very impressed with the restaurant interior design, the quality of food and the memorable palate of authentic Vietnamese cuisine! Big thumbs up 👍🏻
Absolutely outstanding food; the Beef Stew is a standout, Vietnamese Chicken Rice is delicious, and Crispy Chicken Wings were a great entree.
Unfortunately a little unorganised at front of house, and the kitchen had ran out of barramundi and pork but had to tell us after choosing and ordering our mains. This didn't sour the meal however - my second pick (the stew) was one of the tastiest things I've eaten all year.
Wow.
We weren't sure what to expect, with Nelson Place boasting a fair few decidedly average tourist traps, but have just enjoyed a lovely night at Ms. Kim.
The place was packed, so we were grateful to be able to sit at the bar and enjoy the new space. The ambience was great... vibrant, fresh colours with just the right amount of light and noise; and the service friendly and efficient.
We shared roast pork rice paper rolls to start, with a lovely dry Alsace riesling, followed by a rich, rather French beef stew with a Vietnamese twist and a deliciously light and fresh wagyu salad with crackers.
Upon recommendation we shared (alright, maybe I ate the whole thing but let's pretend for a second that I didn't hog the spoon) the coconut pudding for dessert... a gorgeous pannacotta bursting with fresh coconut flavour, with a delicious compote comprising strawberries, kiwifruit and lychee. Yum.
Cheers Ms. Kim for the lovely meal... you're a welcome addition to Willy!

Lovely lunch we had at MsKim today! I was a fan from watching her in MKR.
Before I go on with my review, MsKim is not your typical Vietnamese restaurant you usually go to in Melbourne. It is quite unique since Ms Kim herself has brought some Australian and Vietnamese styles and fuse them nicely together in harmony, so expect the nice surprises in the food here!
Flavours are awesome and may I add you get what you pay for! Portion is quite big and filling, my friend struggled to finish the barramundi soup!
I got the grilled pork with rice and herb salad and I love it. Love the fish sauce! (the trick to most Viet dish is indeed in the fish sauce)
I did get to try the barramundi soup, and since I am Viet and born in Viet and live there for 17 years, I say it is delicious and spot on!
And I did get to try my friend's favourite beef stew, one word: YES! Flavours and consistency hit all the right spots!
Dessert, I got the coconut sticky date pudding. OH MY! She gave the traditional coconut pudding a twist, a great one! Who doesn't love coconut! It is not as heavy as the usual sticky date, instead, the coconut sauce make it refreshed an light! Coconut ice cream: uhm... can I have some more? I feel like 2 small scoops is not enough! :)
Thanks again for a nice meal, I know I won't be hesitate to come back for more with even more friends!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Wow! What a wonderful dining experience. The first thing you notice is the soothing view of the water mixed with the warm blues and white which make you feel you have left the suburbs. The staff are attentive and charming. The layout affords a cozy, yet private seating. The food was sensational, if I could have had one of everything I would have. A great mix of vegetables, seafood, poultry and red meat. Oh, and the cocktails! Let the waitstaff guide you, they know their stuff! Don't pass on this gem if you get the chance!
Sebastian's thoroughly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we walked in the service was superb, with knowledgeable and attentive staff taking our food and drinks order promptly but without making us feel rushed at all. The cocktails were awesome and the food was delicious. Light, tasty and just right for a hot day. Our position in the alfresco dining area overlooked the beach and the ocean; simply stunning. It is a long way to go but we are looking forward to another visit.
Excellent value banquet meal in the private dining room. $80 per head for 4-6 entree and 2 mains 2 salads and desert. Kids menu for little ones. Lovely interior and view over Willy beach. Highly recommended.
Super impressive restaurant in an amazing location. Normally a great beach location means average experience, not here. A fantastic Basque influenced menu with superb service. An absolute must go.
First time dining at Sebastian's. We had a lovely experience, staff were very helpful and attentive. Food was very delicious. Absolutely loved the Basque cheesecake finish off the evening. Will be back to spend more time on the beautiful deck.
Excellent service with live music, it's a hotspot in this area. The shop is located in a wonderful location. There is a wide selection of food and beverages. What could be better than this? Sit and chill in beach-side on a nice day along with sipping cocktails watching the surrounding atmosphere.
I came here with my work DSV in a group of around 22. Amazing food, beautiful location and outstanding service. Your Team are top notch. Highly recommend to others.
Great service, delicious food, comfortable environment, wonderful location. We came for our anniversary and this was a perfect restaurant to make it a special occasion. We had croquetas, Basque crispy muscles, freekeh and cauliflower, snapper, heirloom tomatoes and Basque cheesecake with sangria and a cocktail. All delicious.
