What customers say?

“ I had the pleasure to try out this place in Footscray on a rainy day. The staffs are quite prompt, for come out fast. They have one of the best rice vermicelli bun in town, very fresh and soft almost like in Vietnam. However I found that my noodles soup lack the depth with the broth. The bun cha is decent however it doesn’t not has the fragrance as being grilled over charcoal to stay true to its name. In overall it was a pleasant experience. ”

“ Tried Bun Cha Co Dao Footscray and was impressed by the fresh noodles and ingredients—everything tasted clean and well-prepared. Compared to Quan Lua, the broth here wasn’t as sweet or smoky, missing that signature northern-style balance I enjoyed. Still, it was a solid, filling meal and definitely worth exploring if you’re in the area and craving Vietnamese. A good spot for a casual, hearty meal—just don’t expect the same sweetness as other versions. ”
