Vu's Vietnamese Cafe Restaurant

So very disappointed, yet again. We keep trying this place as we love Vietnamese food but this is always a let down. It's supposedly authentic but certainly doesn't come close to food we've eaten in our travels in Vietnam as well as the awesome Melbourne Vietnamese food scene. The Vietnamese Rice Noodles (with chicken and vegetables) were a tasteless gluggy mess. We've eaten a lot of this dish in the past and it's always been cooked with thick, flat (and deliciously charred) rice noodles, not rice vermicelli. The Vietnamese Beef Noodle Salad was marginally better but average at best. Vu's Special Spring Rolls were not so special and if you want to be authentic please serve with lettuce and m...

Last time I have tried this restaurant was a year ago and during then the food was alright. I came back 2 weeks ago to try it again and it has down graded ! the food is just horrible. I had Fried Rice which was not generous, it had ALOT of rice with little to nothing meat and veg and it was oily, the price I am paying for is $16.50 that is a rip off ! the dish itself is close to a plain rice, just with sauce and oil yet the price difference is just outrageous. Also the chef undercooked the Chicken Balls which could get people seriously sick. Overall Vu's restaurant is nothing special, he just advertises really well on the website but when you eat from this place it is just a disappointment.

First time at Vu's. We got take away last night, but the venue looked really beautiful and the staff were lovely so we definitely plan to dine in soon. Absolutely blown away by Vu's raw beef salad - SO TASTY and the portion size was generous. The lamb rack was so tender and juicy and all the side veg was very good too. We either chose the best things on the menu or this place knows it's stuff! Can't wait to try some other things but it will be hard to stray away from these two dishes. Definitely the best Vietnamese I have had in a long long time.

Ordered their chilli squid via UberEATS. Nothing like the pic. The squid weren't battered at all- it was a rather sloppy mess. Ordered a beef dish too and it was surprisingly tasty. Felt ripped off and you really needed to eat it with rice given it was now a sloppy mess. The dipping sauce that came with it was something green- again completely different to what was advertised.

This restaurant is Overpriced , the service was not attentive, waited for 20minutes to order a meal. I had the Chicken Rice noodles which came burnt , less meat + veg and also very oily. The fried rice had no flavour and was soggy ? By far , the worst vietnamese food i have ever eaten. Highly Don't Recommend !

I ordered the Pad Thai under the 'Chef's Special' menu. Pad Thai is one of my favourite dishes but unfortunately this would have to be the most disappointing I have tried for a long time. It was extremely bland and very overprices for mainly just rice noodles and no meat/vegetables.

Dined awhile ago , I had chicken rice noodles and lemongrass fish. The noodle was very oily and after I got home i felt extremely sick and spent my time in the toilet. The place is not very clean, there were bugs all over the place, hoped it didn't get into my food #foodpoisoning

I think the food was tasty but a bit overpriced and the portion is very small as well. We order The Vu's lamb curry and the braised duck with egg noodles. The curry was tasty but the lamb was very tough. The duck was well cooked but we got only one leg... Reserva una mesa ahora

Food was great. We each had the Special Banquet, the eight of us. Service, on the other hand, was really really slow. Almost 9pm and still here, after waiting at least half an hour for desert. Beginning to get a little bit silly.

This place is waaaay overpriced, with terribly slow service and rude staff. The food was OK, but wouldn't recommend it. The BBQ Pork was over cooked and dry.
