Tien Dat Restaurant

OK VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT IN BOX HILL The cafe is modern and has comfortable seating. The service is efficient but there is no warmth at all in the service :( That wouldn't matter too much if the price was low - but its not. $19 for a bowl of pho that was just OK. To be fair, I didn't try other dishes (apart from the tofu rice paper roll). Peopel with mobility issues will be finer once inside as its all on one even floor but they may have a bit of trouble negotiating the fairly heavy and tight entry door.

This place looks fancy for a Vietnamese restaurant, which usually is quite modest and basic looking. The price on the menu isnt cheap, maybe due to the decor. I had their broken rice pork chop with fried egg which was nice. But then I never had anywhere of this dish that is bad. But overall happy with portion and taste.

A great dining experience with a large menu and plenty of choice. The shaken beef (brown butter sauce) was very tender though the tomato rice was a little too salty. We enjoyed the homemade lemonade drink and Hanoi spring rolls as well. Waitresses were attentive and the interior was nice and modern too. I selected the restaurant based on the range of gluten free mains, however when it came to dessert there were unfortunately no suitable GF choices. The deep fried ice cream was overfried and tasted burnt, when cut into the ice cream was also mostly melted while normally it stays frozen inside.

Was nice food. We had the spring rolls with the lettuce and Noodles and mint which you roll up yourself. Then had the Ted Curry with Chicken and Roti bread. They have 2 sittings and are quite strict with seating times to have as much turnover as possible. Took a while to get served to start with. Obviously very popular. Would visit again and try another dish.
