Dong Ba 2 is surely the hidden gem of stalbans restaurants! When you think of this area and Vietnamese cuisine you think Quang Vinh and the others near that vicinity, however travel just a little further, up were KFC used to be (veterans will remember) and across the Woolworths, and you will find a delightful surprise called Dong Ba 2. Apparently specialising in Bun Bo Hue which sadly Emily and I do not necessarily prioritise, we went in and were surprised with just how good the service is. Having been to a myriad of similar restaurants, you expect service as not being a priority due to the language and cultural differences however Dong Ba 2 is different- you are welcomed, and spoken to in f...
Bun Bo Hue (spicy beef noodles) is one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes, and my preferred spot in Melbourne has always been Ba Le in Footscray. Recently, I discovered that they have another location in St. Albans. While I'm not sure if it's the same franchise, the taste is very similar and the name is the same so I can only assume it is. I adore this dish for its strong lemongrass and chili aroma, and the lingering spicy aftertaste. The noodles come with pork and beef slices, Vietnamese ham, pork blood cubes, and a swirl of herbs. They also serve a side of salad, cauliflower, and bean sprouts. It's the perfect meal for cold weather – warm and hearty. We also tried the fried flounder, which w...
Bun bo hue (spicy beef noodles) is one of my favourite Vietnamese dishes and my favourite in Melbourne has always been dong ba in footscray. I’ve recently discovered they have another store in St. Albans. I’m not certain it’s the same franchise however the taste is very similar and the name is the same so one can only assume. I love this BBH for its strong lemongrass and chilli flavour and it has a pungent aftertaste. The noodles are served with pork and beef slices, Vietnamese ham, pig blood jelly and onion. Lettuce, cabbage and bean sprouts is also served on the side. Its a perfect meal in cold weather as it’s warm and hearty. We also ordered the fried flounder which was really crispy and...
On the other hand, compared to our usual dining spot, this restaurant is actually quite impressive. We ordered diced pork and grilled chicken on rice, both of which were very tasty. The portions were also satisfying. Unfortunately, we weren't too fond of the chili, and the soup was just average. We will definitely return to sample other dishes on the menu.

Located on the other side of where we normally go for food, this place is actually pretty good. We had diced beef and grilled chicken on rice and they were both very good. It came in decent portion as well. Too bad that we didn't really enjoy the chilli and the side soup was just average. We will come back again to try different dishes.
A local favourite. The service is one of the best and incredibly friendly staff. There are many Asian restaurants in the area and nearby but this restaurant by far has the best quality of service. A winner everytime!
Best special combo beef pho Ive had in a long time. It has a good amount of meat which are of a good variety of cuts. I know it doesnt usually come with it but I always wish it comes with some raw beef too.
I had the chicken curry special fried rice tonight and absolutely loved it. The service from the ladies was also very friendly.
