Huong Viet Vegan

Craving proper đồ chay in Footscray? This is the spot. Forget standard-issue tofu. Huong Viet Vegan delivers wildly inventive plant-based Vietnamese classics with textures that actually hit the mark. Massive portions. Smoky BBQ fried rice. A veggie beancurd mushroom phở boasting a deeply aromatic broth. Plant-based veterans and curious omnivores alike pack the dining room for huge, spice-laden bowls of mock-chicken and seafood congee. The vibe is utterly cozy—think quirky parrot murals and complimentary hot tea the second you sit down. Grab a window seat, order a freshly cracked coconut, and settle in. The kitchen operates on its own relaxed rhythm during busy bursts, but those vibrant, impeccably plated dishes make every single minute worth it.
