About Proud Peacock

Proud Peacock packs Mount Waverley diners into its bustling dining room with cavernous bowls of pho and broken rice that easily stretch across two meals. Portions border on comedic—think mounds of vermicelli showered with roasted peanuts and fresh herbs, alongside bowls of aromatic chicken pho that cut through chilly evenings. Regulars know to hit the front counter on the way out for complimentary soy milk and nostalgic sweets.

  • Supersized portions: Heaping bowls of pho, lemongrass chicken vermicelli, and com tam broken rice are notoriously large, frequently leaving diners with leftovers for dinner tomorrow.
  • Complimentary drink and treat station: Guests can help themselves to complimentary drinks like soy milk or tea at the front counter, plus after-meal sweets and lollies.
  • Cold-weather comfort: Piping-hot chicken and beef noodle soups provide comforting refuge, drawing steady crowds especially on cold Melbourne evenings.

Before you head over

Practical tips on timing, portion sizes, and complimentary perks for your visit.

    Peak dining windows and weekend lunch hours draw heavy crowds and queues; arriving right at 12:00 PM or slightly early helps you walk straight in and avoid waiting.

  • Plan for Supersized Portions

    Dishes like pho, broken rice, and vermicelli come in massive serving sizes that can easily feed two or provide tomorrow's lunch, so consider sharing or asking for a takeaway container.

  • Enjoy the Free Drink and Sweet Station

    While you wait for a table or when heading out, feel free to help yourself to the front station stocked with complimentary soy milk, cordial, tea, and sweet snacks.
