Local Chook

Great ambience, amazing service & the food was divine, could def it everyday!
Shout out to Hana & Mymy

Very average, not very authentic, heavy on sauces (more chinese style) and honestly I believe half the reviews are paid for. Go anywhere in footscray for a better meal at half the cost

Beautiful fusion Vietnamese food, served by beautiful staffs. This place has gorgeous decor, a fun vibe & the food is very tasty. Great value too

Beef Pho to be honest smells so good… but it tasted super salty to me, I am not sure if whether the broth is boiled many times or not but still. “Pho Xao” is my fav and 100% delicious. Definitely will come back for this signature item Staff are so friendly and nice.

What a lovely restaurant/cafe. Best service by lovely woman, very friendly and helpful, yummy berry (jam) pastry to go with their lovely coffee.spotlessly clean.

Went there and definitely going back. Everything we ordered was delicious. Highly recommend.

Great vietnamese restaurant serving up delicious food in a nice relaxed atmosphere. Service and staff are fast and friendly. The quality of food and portion sizes are excellent.

The food is absolutely delicious. Fresh flavours and lots of options. The seafood spring rolls are delicious, as are their mains. Authentic Vietnamese food which was needed in Moonee Ponds.

Local Chook is now our regular caterer for our company and I can’t thank them enough for their services and the quality of the food they deliver.
Not only the best presentation, the food is also so tasty and delightful. Highly highly recommend for both dine in and catering services. Best Vietnamese food in Moonee Ponds so far.

Real nice fresh food. Not one of those noise restaurants or squashed up against other tables

Best Vietnamese restaurant in town. Been there with my family and the food and services didnt let us down. Good food and services. Shout out to Hana and the team. They’re amazingggg. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing food! The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. They were more than happy to cater for my dietary requirements. The scotch fillet beef was to die for! We'll definitely be back!

Delicious fresh and fragrant dishes with lots of options for all dietary requirements. Highly recommend checking it out. Every dish was absolutely spot on!

Great food, reasonably priced and decent portions, and the owners are friendly and welcoming.

Who would know that a place called "Local Chook" does vegan at an amazing standard, with 6 menu items to choose. They do and every vegan item is just fabulous.

Came expecting some Viet fud, walked away satisfied from a smorgasbord of Oriental flavours.

Ordered the "Feed Me" menu, which consisted of a serve of Coconut Prawns, Pork Bao*, Red Chicken Curry, a sizzling plate of Scotch Fillet in Plum sauce, Green Apple & Papaya Salad, and a serve of Salt & Pepper Calamari. Half expecting it to be scaled down (there were only two of us), colour us surprised when more then generous portions were served.

*Though do check the bao! First came a pair of steamed pork buns, expecting a serve of the sandwich style baos. But thank you Local chook for letting us try a serve of the bao anyways, despite the confusion.

The sheer size of the feed me left us very satisfied and with plenty of left overs for days. A good mix of flavours, from the tanginess of the Papaya Salad, to the spices of the curry, and subtle sweetness of the beef. Plenty to enjoy for everyone's tastes.

To top off the great food, was the more than exemplary service. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and up for a good banter. Our first time here was for a quick take away Salad. We left without getting the dressing, and credit where credit's due, one of the staff came running after us!

. All in all. Great night out. And still perplexed by the name. But don't let that take anything away from the food.
