Steaming bowl of hủ tiếu with pork, prawns and quail eggs

Footscray · Melbourne · Est. 2019

Hủ Tiếu GõÔng Mập

Melbourne's first hủ tiếu gõ — the knock of the noodle cart, brought indoors. Twelve-hour broth, ladled from ten in the morning till ten at night.

Our story

Melbourne's first hủ tiếu gõ.

In Saigon, hủ tiếu gõ arrived before it appeared — a vendor walking the lane, tapping two sticks of bamboo, gõ, gõ, gõ, so the whole street knew the cart was close before it turned the corner.

  1. July 2019

    Bowls packed to order and delivered across Melbourne — no shopfront yet, just the pot and a phone.

  2. 2 December 2020

    The doors open on Hopkins Street — Melbourne's first hủ tiếu gõ.

Every dish is built in our own kitchen, not copied off anyone else's — from the New Zealand ốc xào dừa that's been our best-seller since day one, to gỏi ốc giác, gỏi ốc biển and chim cút nướng chấm chẻo. The beef balls are still pounded by hand, every morning, in-house.

Broth made fresh every day

Pork bone, dried squid and rock sugar, kept simmering and topped up all day for service.

Beef balls pounded in-house

No fillers, no factory bags — hand-worked each morning for that clean snap.

Recipes copied from no one

New Zealand ốc xào dừa, gỏi ốc giác and chẻo-dipped quail — built in our own kitchen, not lifted off anyone else's menu.
