It's a metre wide x 45cm deep so I'd imagine it would fit most size TVs

not autographed unfortunately - he's a big star and notoriously difficult to get hold of

can anyone recommend a good Vietnamese restaurant in Victoria Street, Richmond?

I know there's more Vietnamese restaurants there than you can shake a stick at but are there any that stand out in terms of quality, value for money, atmosphere etc?

I've been living a stones throw away from Victoria St for the past 2 years, I think I've got it sussed. =)

If you want good atmosphere, got to Thy Thy, it's real cheap too.

Don't get this confused with Thy Thy 2 however (Also on Victoria Street - The sequels are never as good as the original).

The place I always go to though, Tanh Ha. About 75 meters away from Thy Thy (going away from the city). Best food, and it's just a tad more expensive. The decore is heaps better though.

That looks like a goer, I'll give em a call

Post by **lucas** » Mon Feb 07, 2005 12:41 pm

Just to clarify.

It's listed in the whitepages as:

Banh Cuon Thanh Ha

I'm not sure if many places along Victoria St take bookings. But, I've never waited more than 5mins for a table at Thanh Ha.

eskay · Post by **eskay** » Mon Feb 07, 2005 12:49 pm

yep I worked it out

I figure they won't be that busy on a monday night that I'm gonna need to book. Just wanted to make sure they were open on a monday

Post by **lucas** » Mon Feb 07, 2005 12:50 pm

Lucas' Thanh Ha favourites:

Rice paper rolls with vegetables (comes with a yummy peanut sauce thing).
Soft fried egg noodles with vegetables.
Fried bean curd with mushrooms (or baby corn).
Salt & pepper squid (comes with lots of garlic - not good for 1st hot date).

Enjoy. =)

Polecat · Post by **Polecat** » Mon Feb 07, 2005 12:51 pm

Thy Thy is bloody excellent.

We recently went to Tran Tran though because friends dine there every Monday. Looked at the menu and thought "where is the Vietnamese??"

sure, we found the rice paper rolls and beef with vermicelli, but most of it was all chinese stuff.

We have a fairly new place on Lygon that does Vietnamese. Super simple menu of all the classic dishes we had eaten in Vietnam. Yaay!! Vina Bar, just next door to University Cafe. Good cheap clean and yum. Got to go back and see how their Pho is
