About Tran Tran

Breezy street-facing windows and hearty Vietnamese comfort classics make Tran Tran a trusted Victoria Street retreat. Regulars cut through the bustling strip to settle near the open facade, where service moves at a sprightly pace. The kitchen anchors itself on rich bowls of bò kho packed with tender beef, alongside signature orders of Grandma’s lemongrass beef and chargrilled pork over vermicelli. Plates arrive fast and generously portioned, balancing traditional broken rice and salt-and-pepper soft shell crab with crowd-friendly satay skewers that effortlessly suit multi-generational tables. A tall glass of iced cà phê sữa đá rounds out the feast while trams rattle down the street.

  • Rich Bò Kho Stew: Bowls come deeply spiced and generously stocked with thick, tender slices of slow-cooked meat.
  • Breezy Street Windows: Wide windows open directly to the sidewalk, pairing fresh outdoor air with neighborhood street scenes.
  • Speedy Group Dining: Hearty, quickly served portions easily cater to multi-generational family dinners and work gatherings.
  • Broad Multi-Cuisine Menu: A broad selection spans traditional broken rice and MSG-free pho broth alongside Chinese-influenced stir-fries.
