About Ông Vietnamese

Adelaide foodies head straight to this bustling Rundle Street haunt for clever Vietnamese plates built for sharing. Tables fill quickly with crisp corn ribs, wafer-thin bánh tráng pancakes, and plump seared scallops. The kitchen reworks street classics with punchy turns—beef tartare perched on mochi waffles, steak glossy with a rich phở jus reduction, and crunchy fried eggplant glazed in sticky sweetness. Groups lean into the generous 'feed me' feasts, which the kitchen effortlessly turns around entirely gluten-free. Dinner rounds out over bowls of warm sticky date cake slicked with fish sauce butterscotch.

  • Creative Shared Plates: Inventive street-food riffs spanning crisp bánh tráng pancakes, mochi waffle beef tartare, and steak glazed in phở jus.
  • Coeliac-Friendly Banquets: A heavily gluten-free menu where group 'feed me' banquets can be tailored safely for coeliac diners.
  • Lively Rundle Street Energy: A fast-paced East End setting with attentive staff who comfortably adapt portions for large groups.

  • Large-Group À La Carte Flexibility

    Unlike typical upscale venues that mandate banquet packages for parties, diners retain the flexibility to curate their own meal across the regular menu.

    One of the few places left that don’t force you to do a tasting menu for large group!

  • Abundant Group Banquets Without Compromise

    The generous feed-me banquet offers an abundant progression of signature plates, effortlessly accommodating party dietary preferences without sacrificing variety.

    The feed me menu option is excellent for a group, so much food and they were happy to do all gluten free.
