We love this restaurant so much, sometimes we go multiple times in one week. The food is incredible, always fresh and delicious. Don't listen to the other reviews mentioning portion size, the portions are more than generous and represent great value for money.
The owners and staff are so friendly and accommodating, they can always fit our large family in at short notice.
Get the housemade prawn crackers, crispy chicken with noodles (ask for the soup on the side), and all the vermicelli dishes are delicious too. Cannot recommend highly enough. The best Vietnamese on Victoria St.

I have been going to La Chanh since it opened and it remains one of the best restaurants in Melbourne. There's one particularly amazing dish: the chicken noodles (dry). They come with a small bowl of umami rich broth and the most delicious chili sauce - it's a simple dish done totally right. Maggie, the owner, is also an amazing person and i love catching up with her every time i come in! The salt and pepper tofu is also amazing.

The restaurant is very clean, the staff is nice and friendly. Service is efficient. A wide selection of Vietnamese food on offer. And all very well cooked, nicely balanced and tasty. However, portion is on the smaller end of scale yet the price is more than the average on Victoria St.

Delicious Vietnamese food! Was craving broken rice and I was lured in by the glowing reviews of the broken rice dish. The dish was flavourful and satisfying. While it might not be the best version I’ve ever had, it was definitely enjoyable.

All the dishes were tasty and flavoursome.
Smaller portion of the shaking beef than previous visits but the beef was cooked to perfection!
Favourite dish was the pork rice paper rolls!
Mixed flan hit the spot with the different textures.
