Essential tips for ordering, wait times, and pickup at Mister Truong's

  • Ask explicitly for pâté and chilli

    Traditional pâté and fresh chilli are not added automatically, so make sure to explicitly request them at the counter if you want them in your roll.

  • Watch and listen for ticket calls outside

    After placing your order at the counter, wait outside on the footpath where a digital display screen and loudspeaker broadcast ready ticket numbers.

  • Plan for a quick takeaway pickup

    The shop operates almost exclusively as a grab-and-go venue with very limited indoor seating, making takeaway your best option.
