MELBOURNE | Minh Tan 2 has been around since 1992, and has remained a popular spot throughout the years for a very simple reason. It offers a good range of tasty Vietnamese and Cantonese dishes at an affordable price, at a consistent level every time. You’re not coming to Minh Tan if you want something new or exciting, you’re coming here if you feel like Vietnamese or Cantonese food and you want to be sure that it’s going to be good.
The family run restaurant doesn’t offer any pretension, and when you walk through the front doors, past the glass window displaying hanging roasted duck, you’re greeted with a space familiar to anyone who has dined at this sort of restaurant before. A simple, rather plain room, with a number of big tables conducive to group dining, and no fuss.
There’s a lot to like here – we’re particularly fond of the roast Peking duck, served in bao with oyster sauce and vegetables, and the roast duck and pork too. All of the san choi bao here are very good, and for a treat, try the deep fried prawn balls. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, the mango pudding can’t be beat.
On weekends, come for the dim sum, where you’ll find a variety of favourites including dumplings with fillings like mixed seafood, scallop, chicken and prawn, and prawn and bean curd. Do be aware that weekend dim sum can get quite busy, so book ahead if you’ve got a group.
