About Halong2

Halong2 delivers uncompromised Vietnamese classics right along Nepean Highway—sparing bayside diners the trek across town. Frankston regulars gravitate toward rich beef brisket pho, sizzling bo luc lac, and crisp spring rolls wrapped in lettuce. Big gatherings claim tables across the bright dining room, passing share plates alongside cold 333 beers and espresso martinis. You can bring your own wine, and weekend meals escape any added surcharge. Dinner wraps up cleanly with apricot and lavender desserts alongside tables of steaming broth.

  • Traditional Vietnamese classics: Signature beef and brisket pho alongside bo luc lac without needing to drive into inner-city dining strips.
  • No weekend surcharge: Dine on Saturdays and Sundays without penalty rates or weekend bill markups.
  • BYO wine friendly: Tables welcome outside bottles of wine alongside in-house cocktails and Vietnamese beer.
