About Bánh Xèo Tay Do Vietnamese Restaurant

Bánh Xèo Tay Do Vietnamese Restaurant is one of those places I like to introduce to people who enjoy food that feels honest, comforting, and full of character. Tucked away at 4/62 Nicholson St, Footscray VIC 3011, Australia, this Vietnamese restaurant has a relaxed, no-pressure vibe that immediately makes you feel welcome, whether you’re dropping in for a quick bite or settling in for a proper sit-down meal. The focus here is clearly on traditional Vietnamese flavors, especially the kind of dishes that work just as well for sharing as they do for eating solo. I often describe it as a spot where you can keep things simple, order a few small plates, and let the food do the talking. Service options are flexible too, which makes it easy to fit into everyday life. You can dine in and enjoy the casual atmosphere, grab takeaway when you’re short on time, or choose delivery if you’re staying in but still craving Vietnamese comfort food. The menu suits a wide range of moods, offering healthy options alongside quick bites that don’t feel rushed or careless. I also appreciate how the setting stays casual and unpretentious, so conversations flow easily and meals feel unrushed, making it a comfortable choice for both solo diners and small groups looking to share plates and sample different flavors. Coffee is available as well, which adds to the laid-back feel and makes the restaurant suitable for a relaxed daytime visit. What really stands out to me about Bánh Xèo Tay Do Vietnamese Restaurant is how approachable everything feels. Nothing is overcomplicated, yet there’s plenty of depth in the flavors, and the overall experience feels consistent and reliable. It’s the kind of place you can recommend confidently to friends, coworkers, or visitors to Footscray who want a genuine Vietnamese restaurant experience without any fuss, while still enjoying food that feels thoughtfully prepared and satisfying.

Don’t let the emptiness fool you—the food here is absolutely delicious and authentic! The vegetables were fresh and generous, and every dish we tried was packed with flavor. They’ve been in business for 10 years, and that says a lot! To be fair, we came close to closing time on a Sunday night, but the owner was still super friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth trying!

Rat ngon. Came from Canada and my auntie brought me here cause I was craving some banh xeo. Was unexpectingly good cause it was in a ghost town of a mall. The owner was super funny and cracked jokes all day.

Definitely one of the best viet pancakes around!! A bit tucked away so look out for the sign as it’s in a very quiet area. Got both the banh xeo and banh khot, and it was so crispy and fresh! It came with a mountain of fresh herbs and veg, seriously amazed by the freshest of it too. Very generous!! Just two items were very filling too! The lady took our order and went straight to the back to make it so it’s as fresh as it gets! Super friendly couple, will 100% be back to try the other items on their menu. Note cash only.

Just a husband and wife crew so temper your expectation on the pace of food coming out at this place. It is so worth it though as everything we ordered tasted amazing - fresh, quality ingredients used and it felt like eating at a family friend's home than at a restaurant. Brisk, no frills service, signature black tea flask and facial tiasue box at the table, this is as authentic as it gets. Food was non-greasy, cooked to perfection crispiness for chicken mince wrapped sticky rice and the banh xeo. The fresh young herbs accompaniments really elevated the dishes. The Banh canh Bot loc cha ca was tapioca noodle soup was full of depth and flavour with good texture in the noodles. Would recommend to visit during non-busy periods as it can take up to 40mins for your dish to come.

Absolutely loved it. Try the Vietnamese specialty Banh Xeo (crepes) which they absolutely nail and serve with a generous portion of various herbs. Or give the banh beo a try - which is my favourite - little rice steam cakes with delicious toppings and sauce. Great service and great value.

Husband and wife restaurant that provides home cook food. A good surprise, there is no rice on the menu, just different authentic Vietnamese food. The amount of veggies they provide is a lot and not the cheap stuff either. The tea is blended by the owner ands tastes great. Overall a good restaurant with tasty food.

Absolute Hidden Gem, that is a must. The most fresh, delicate and delicious Vietnamese food. Great friendly cheerful service. Don’t let this very quiet and unassuming place fool you. I would give 10 stars for the food. I’m definitely coming back.
