Correction (4 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 4 October 2026.
A menu is easier to read once each dish is decoded in a line, so this page does that for five places in and around Fairfield: three on Station Street in Fairfield, one in Alphington and one in Northcote. It covers Vietnamese, Chinese and pan-Asian menus, and keeps Fairfield’s Thai and Japanese restaurants for their own pages.
Every place was confirmed at two independent sources: OpenStreetMap, the Australian Good Food Guide and, where one loaded, the venue’s own site. We found no readable menu prices, so none are printed. Where a listing is the only source for hours, we say so.

Str’eat Pho — 129A Station Street, Fairfield VIC 3078
Pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup served in broth, and Str’eat Pho’s site says We specialized in traditional Vietnamese Pho. The site’s footer lists Monday to Saturday from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm, closed from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm, then open from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm, with Sunday closed. Its home page also shows a banner with different hours, so check before you go. AGFG tags Delivery, Takeaway, Vegan Options, Vegetarian Options and Gluten Free Options.
Menu says: AGFG’s Best Known For line names sliced barramundi fillets served with tamarind sauce, and we could not read the online menu for prices.
QQ Dumpling — 152 Station Street, Fairfield VIC 3078
The name tells you the format: dumplings are filled parcels of dough, usually shared as a plate. We could find no own website or menu, so this entry rests on its OpenStreetMap and AGFG listings. The OpenStreetMap hours tag shows Tuesday off, 11:00 to 15:00 on the other days, and evenings from 17:00 to 21:00, running to 21:30 on Friday and Saturday. That is one volunteer-edited tag and may be out of date.
How to order: with no published menu we could read, ask what dumplings are on that day and confirm the hours first.
Tasty Banh Mi — 146B Station Street, Fairfield VIC 3078
A banh mi is a Vietnamese filled baguette, usually eaten as a handheld meal. This is a listing-only entry: AGFG tags it with Takeaway, Vegetarian Options and Disabled Access, and OpenStreetMap lists the business. Its old web page no longer loads, so we could not read a menu, prices or hours.
Decoder: because AGFG tags Takeaway, think of it as a roll to carry, and ring ahead to ask what fillings are available.
Benjamin’s Kitchen — 758 Heidelberg Road, Alphington VIC 3078
This is in Alphington, just outside Fairfield. Pan-Asian means a menu that draws on more than one cuisine, and the menu here is an image on its site, so we could not read dishes or prices. The site says We are fully licensed and lists tables Tuesday to Saturday with lunch 12pm-3pm, and Sunday dinner 5pm-10pm. AGFG also tags Child Friendly, Delivery, Takeaway and Vegan Options. The site notes a Sunday and public holiday surcharge.
Region: the site does not tie the menu to one region, so read the specials in person rather than assuming a style.
Taxiboat — 94 High Street, Northcote VIC 3070
Taxiboat is in Northcote, not Fairfield, and its address is on High Street. AGFG’s Best Known For line names green curry, Pad Thai and fresh locally sourced ingredients. Green curry is a coconut-based Thai curry and Pad Thai is a stir-fried noodle dish. AGFG lists it open from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM Tuesday to Sunday, closed Monday, but that directory is owner-maintained and may be out of date.
Order this first: AGFG’s best-known list begins with green curry, so start there and ask about the rest, as we could not read prices.

How we checked
We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources on 4 October 2026: OpenStreetMap, the places’ own websites and the Australian Good Food Guide. We copied no menu prices from these places’ own pages, so this page prints none. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go. The cover photo is illustrative, from Unsplash, and does not show any place on this page.
