Nem Viet on Mitchell

Bendigo Vietnamese known for steaming pho, crispy pork banh mi and vermicelli bowls.

Casual, bustling neighbourhood Vietnamese with a short, focused menu. Lively at peak times, sometimes loud, with a mix of families, lunch crowds and travellers.

Banh mi with crispy pork crackling, Vietnamese coffee, a signature chilli gin cocktail, vegetarian dishes and a kitchen that caters safely for coeliacs, with a menu focused on basics rather than a sprawling list.

Keeps to Vietnamese fundamentals such as pho, bun bo Hue and banh xeo. Reviewers compare the pho to Hanoi-style broths and Cabramatta benchmarks and describe the flavours as authentic.

Portions are large and value is often praised, but banh mi at roughly $17 to $18 divides opinion, with some comparing it to $10 to $13 metro prices.
