Book NowAbout Anh Tuk
Anh Tuk trades standard noodle shop staples for Footscray’s boldest Vietnamese street food—anchored by cast-iron plates of sizzling bò né. Cast-iron platters arrive hissing with seared steak, runny fried eggs, pâté, and rich pan gravy. Tear into a warm, crusty baguette to mop up the savory drippings. Beyond the beef, diners bypass typical broth bowls for regional specialties like bún đậu mắm tôm with crisp tofu, pork, and punchy fermented shrimp paste, or delicate bánh cuốn rolls steamed to order. Hearty portions leave zero room for hunger, washed down with iced Vietnamese coffee or fresh coconut juice spiked with kumquat.
- Sizzling Bò Né Platters: Seared beef served on blazing cast-iron plates alongside pâté, eggs, and crusty bread rolls built for dipping.
- Regional Street Food Specialty: Distinct regional plates extend far beyond basic pho, featuring bún đậu mắm tôm, bánh cuốn, and dedicated vegan options.
- Hearty Portions & Fast Service: Hearty, shareable portions served quickly in an unpretentious, welcoming Footscray dining room.

Cast-Iron Sizzling Bò Né Experience
Tender beef arrives piping hot on a sizzling plate with rich sauce, eggs, pâté, and crusty bread for dipping.
Their Vietnamese bò né is always sizzling hot, full of flavor, and super satisfying. The beef is juicy, the sauce is rich, and I love dipping the fresh bread into it.
C Ng Smoky Seared Beef with Dipping Bread
Hot plates combine garlic, savory seasoning, and crispy baguettes designed to capture the rich pan drippings.
The beef is tender and juicy, seared to perfection on a sizzling hot plate, with a smoky aroma that enhances every bite.
Bảo Phương Regional Vietnamese Street Specialties
The kitchen showcases hard-to-find regional specialties like bún chả, bún đậu mắm tôm, and bánh cuốn rather than just standard noodle soups.
The Bún Chả Bún Đậu Mắm Tôm was packed with bold, authentic flavour. I especially loved the offal — it was cooked perfectly and added great texture and depth to the dish.
J D Distinct Flavors Beyond Common Staples
Diners looking beyond standard phở menus discover distinctive Northern Vietnamese dishes and diverse specialty options.
Almost completely different menu to regular Vietnamese restaurants. Eat everything. Bloody delicious
Andrew Perry Generous Servings Built to Satisfy
Plates arrive packed with hearty quantities of meat, carbs, and sides that easily satisfy big appetites or provide meals to take home.
Delicious and very generous portions- we ordered 3 dishes and took some away for a second meal.
T P Remarkable Everyday Value
Hefty platters and multiple courses are priced accessibly, providing standout dining value across both meat and vegan options.
Big portions as well, especially for the price. My friend and I ordered loads of food including smoothies,share plate etc (see a pic below) and the bill came to around $50 for both of us.
