Co Thu Quan Richmond

Overall, it’s a good shop. The signature crab noodles taste very good.
The ingredients are sufficient and the price is generally moderate, making it more cost-effective compared to Chinese food on the market today. There is one-hour parking across the road, free or pay at the door. The popularity of this area is really not that high now, but I remember going there often back then. Come on!

Had an awesome experience here, friendly service and the food was incredible! Great value for money and super authentic dishes.

I recently had the opportunity to try some authentic Vietnamese cuisine on Victoria Street. The crab tapioca noodle soup was delicious, featuring a fresh and meaty crab claw. The pot rice was served with a selection of side dishes; the combination of shrimps and pork belly was delightful, although the pickles were a tad too sour. The Vietnamese crepe, paired with fish sauce and a variety of fresh herbs and vegetables, was a fantastic combination.

The restaurant's decorations bring back memories of an old Saigon. I tried the rice with sunny-side egg and grilled pork, which is similar to the Saigonese broken rice but served with normal rice. The portion is generous and the dipping fish sauce tastes really nice. However, they do cash only.

The restaurant's decoration has a distinctive Vietnamese touch, stepping inside makes you feel like you're really in Vietnam. The variety of dishes is also excellent. This is my second time dining here, and I initially wanted to introduce my friends to their signature crab vermicelli. However, they were sold out on the day we visited. I would recommend friends who want to try the crab vermicelli to call ahead and check, so you can avoid missing out.

Something different of vietnamese cuisine, first time I came across claypot rice with side dishes, almost like Vietnamese style of Bento. It came with pickles, crabs and pork belly stew. There are other interesting dishes that i would go back and try next time.

Highly recommend either go earlier or make reservation otherwise might have to wait for table.

I think this place used to be good but not anymore. The crab noodle soup is average with not much crab meat and salad is plain.

Customer service is another pain point, staff is arrogant and rude

Delicious! Hai Phong’s noodle in crab soup was spot on! Love the tamarind roasted softshell crab too!

First off - what a unique menu! Very distinct and different to the usual Vietnamese fare you find on Victoria St. The inspiration for the menu is more drawn on from Northern Vietnam, so pho is not the main character here. My recommendation is to order items you normally wouldn’t - sugarcane prawns, crab noodles etc. The place was known for their Bun Bo Hue but we found this one was quite lacking in spice which was abit disappointing.

The best Vietnamese street food in Australia. Entirely authentic to food you would get on the street, and the restaurant is even decorated to make you feel immersed.

This restaurant has so many choice of vietnamese food. My favorite are Bun Bo Hue and Ban Xiao! Must try. The place makes you feel like you are in Vietnam, well decorated. Staffs are superb, including the chefs.very nice foods! Thank you!

Love the decor of this place:)
We had pho, bun cha, spring rolls, cold rolls and bo bia. We enjoyed it all but I must admit the spring rolls and bo bia could do with some improvement:)

Not like other Vietnamese restaurants, this place brings some unknown Vietnamese street food to Melbourne. I love the restaurant so much. And the staff are very friendly. You should try their authentic hand-made Vietnamese beverage.

If you feel adventurous or want to try other vietnamese dishes besides your pho or broken Rice then this place is perfect. They have many other dishes that I don't often see like rice paper with pork floss, water spinach crab noodles, etc. The food can be a hit and miss. The rice paper pork floss, pho and the fried rice was just okay. The fried fish and the crab noodles are great! Fried fish was flaky and had this refreshing salty sauce poured over it. The crab noodle came with fermented prawn paste so beware if you're not big on fishy flavour.

Unlike all other pho place in Mel. This is another level of authenticity. Young and friendly vibe. Must try if you like Viet & Asian food.

It says here you are open at 11 am on Monday, but I was waiting till 11.30 am and tried to call many times, but no one answered.

Visitors from Brisbane. Our relatives took us there for dinner last night. The food and drink (nước tắc dừa) were so good. A must re-visit place when we will come to Melbourne again.

Co Thu Quan is one of the biggest reasons I visit Richmond. A big menu with popular dishes from north to south Vietnam, quite authentic (it tastes and feel just like in Viet Nam), fast services, helpful and friendly staff, good seating layout.
Food quality is good, stable, i guess the kitchen process must be good. Large portion.
My go to is: Banh Trang Tron, Banh Da Cua Hai Phong, Canh Bun, Bun cha, Goi Coc, Muc nuong muoi ot. Love it.

Cool modern Vietnamese food. Restaurant was chockers on the Saturday night I visited. Located on Victoria Street Richmond just a short distance from Melbourne CBD.

Order for salted fish fried rice yesterday and what I got was disappointed. (Egg+rice with little dried fish) worth for 17 $ no meat no vegies.
Dried fish was also so hard so I couldn't finish after 2-3 spouses and had to eat in another place.
