OMG fried rice was phenomenal!! Smoky and so so flavorful.. vegan pad see ew was also amazing! Seriously some of the best I've ever tasted in Melb. Tomato rice and fried rice was another great dish. Won't be back for their pho tho.

Sapa Hills new little sister, same same but different :) Food is very good, we were seated quickly, handed our menu and food was delivered quickly once we ordered as well. It tasted fantastic! They didn't have the beer I ordered but other than that. Loved the fresh vibe and a great addition to the streetscape of Footscray. Hope others take notice and lift their game in relation to presenting their restaurants.

Came here with some mates to have dinner and shared a couple of dishes. Sapa fried rice was by the best dish, aromatic and full of flavour. Jungle curry was not too bad but gravy was a bit too overpowering and broken rice was decent, albeit with the pork chop being slightly too dry. Also, acoustics are not the best indoors, so it can be quite noisy hard to hold a conversation with one another.

Good food. Car park was a hassle but the food here was great. Very fresh salad mixed with meat or fish dishes blend in and you have a explosion of taste. We had the sirloin steak stir fry. It was excellent. So was the roast pork with salad. Must try the signature spring roles.

Great food and excellent service. The bright neon decor makes it felt more modern compared to the rest of Vietnamese restaurants along the same stretch. I would say in terms of flavour, the food tasted a little westernized/modern but still great nonetheless. The sticky Pork Belly is very soft and the pickled vegetables provide contrast to the flavour and texture. Broken Rice and the accompanying toppings are really good too Food - 9 Service - 8 Vibe - 8

The interior design and overall atmosphere of the restaurant were exceptional, creating a comfortable and pleasant environment that was not overly noisy. I highly recommend ordering the Pho; the broth was rich and flavorful, providing a satisfying experience. However, the hoisin sauce had a flavor profile closer to soy sauce than the expected plum, though this was a minor detail. The only drawback was that the meat was somewhat dry and lacked flavor, but the richness of the broth compensated for this, making the dish enjoyable overall. Service was also really good :) Only went here because Pho Hung Vuong Saigon is closed Wednesday nights. If you’re picky about food but not atmosphere, the pho is better over there. If you’re more into aesthetics and aren’t that picky, this place is probably 2nd in Footscray (purely because of the sauce and dry meat)
