One of many dining options located along Melbourne’s de facto ‘pho mile’ – the Richmond stretch of Victoria Street – Thanh Nga Nine survives by virtue of their solid menu of everyone’s favourite Southeast Asian culinary genre, their outreach programme of regular market stall and food festival appearances, and the fact that the restaurant houses a free function room for up to thirty people complete with karaoke machine! The chef will tell you his mini panckaes are the best, while visitors to the Good Food & Wine Show will begin to salivate at the memory of Thanh Nga Nine’s banh mi stuffed with 48-hour marinated and chargrilled pork. With ample parking, wine by the glass and BYO all OK – Thanh Nga Nine’s popularity is such that a booking is essential!
