Had dinner at Bawai this weekend and found the food to be quite authentic and the ambiance surprisingly pleasant. Best Vietnamese spring rolls that I’ve had outside of Vietnam. Freshly made and not chewy or stale tasting like the ones you would find in Manila. The Pho was excellent too, with a broth that was subtle but flavorful, the meat tender but not over-done, and sans the oily-ness that Phos back in Manila tend to have. Strongly suggest the Tamarind Prawn dish which is apparently a new entry on their menu.

Their food is best described as home cooked meals done just like your grandma would, if your grandma was Vietnamese… ha!

For first time visitors, the location might seem a bit remote. Food is well worth the trip down dark and narrow streets. A trip to Chateau Hestia (which is next door) is also recommended for that nightcap.

Enjoy!

Hi Mable! My sister, who lives in Melbourne, said you’d be more hard pressed to find a bad Vietnamese restaurant than a good one in Melbourne because of the number of Vietnamese immigrants. I heard there are plenty of good ones at the Little Vietnam, but the ones I’ve personally tried were in Footscray. There’s one right where the tram passes by named Halong, which serves really good Pho. A cheaper alternative is inside the Footscray Market. There’s a food court there and one stall sells pretty good Vietnamese noodle soups.

I Love PHO! After reading Anthony Bourdain’s gastronomy adventure in Vietnam (and his pho experience) I have been craving for pho ever since.
Where did you go in Melbourne for authentic Vietnamese cuisine? I’m on the roll for the best restaurant and I’ll try anything once!
