Lady Dan Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine

Just what Hawthorn needs. A little piece of Victoria st but closer and better. Food super tasty. Highlights the Lady Dan chicken special and spring rolls. BYO wine is a bonus.

My first attempt on Vietnamese Food and it was great. Went with my office mates most of whom are first timers and Owner Harry was kind enough to help us with what different kinds of food to order, suggested on how to enjoy it fully by mixing few dips. Mainly there is no MSG in food as none of us felt thirsty after the broths). I suggest to try BBH and prawn spring rolls. Must say that he has risen the bar on hospitality and doubt if we'll ever like any other Vietnamese place.

This place is authentic Vietnamese for sure, despite it is not 100% traditional, they have made alterations in the menu to cater locals taste buds. So the pho or aka rice noodles that I ordered came I was actually really surprised by the freshness of the beansprouts and sides, normally in most of the Vietnamese restraunts that I have been to, the side vegetables are not often as fresh as this, as you see in the photos. The soup base was very good and thick with flavour, meat was tender, rice noodle was good texture. Coconut juice was freshly cracked and the ice coffee is just dam vietnamese. Would defnetly recommend this place. Also the boss is very very welcoming, with suggestions and always make sure the taste is right for you.

Me and my friends went there to have dinner, we ordered Rice Vermicelli with chicken, Fried fish with rice and pho with rare beef, very nice food and attentive service! Highly recommend the fried fish with rice for summer! We will defn visit here again!

Had the slice beef pho, was as good as you could ask for on a rainy melbourne evening, would go again
