About Vietnam Village Restaurant

This multi-decade Thebarton fixture skips fancy decor to focus squarely on fast, fire-licked Vietnamese and Chinese classics. Big groups crowd the unpretentious room for fragrant lemongrass quails, bubbling combination hot pots, and sizzling platters rushed hot from the kitchen. Regulars drop in for the $16 lunch specials running Monday through Saturday, pairing salt and pepper squid with bowls of rice. For larger spreads, order the steamed barramundi or share a banquet table during Lunar New Year lion dances.

  • $16 Lunch Specials: Monday through Saturday menus feature midday staples like salt and pepper squid for $16.
  • Shared Feast Staples: Fragrant lemongrass quails, combination hot pots, and sizzling platters feed big group tables quickly.
  • No-Frills Energy: Basic dining room that prioritizes rapid family-run service and seasonal holiday lion dances over flashy decor.
