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 3 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.

A menu is easier to read once each dish has a one-line decoder. This page covers six places in and around Footscray, three in Footscray and three in Seddon, and names a regional style only where a menu or site does.

Each place was checked at two independent sources, and every price is copied as printed. Where a menu was an image or no price was printed, we say that and write no dollar figure.

Start with the Vietnamese and Korean spots if you want a sit-down order, or the fried chicken counter if you want the cheapest priced line.

Sapa Hills Vietnamese Restaurant — 112 Hopkins Street, Footscray VIC 3011

Sapa Hills publishes its menu as a PDF, and its site says Dine in or Takeaway, open six days a week with Tuesday close, 10am to 10pm. The printed prices include SAPA SPECIAL FRIED RICE at $25.50 and TOMATO EGG FRIED RICE at $21. BUN CHA HANOI GRILLED PORK is $26.50, and HANOI SPRINGROLLS are $26.50. Bun cha is a Hanoi dish of grilled pork with rice noodles and herbs, so the name tells you what arrives.

On the menu (copied from sapahills.com.au on 3 October 2026):

  • SAPA SPECIAL FRIED RICE: $25.50
  • TOMATO EGG FRIED RICE: $21
  • BUN CHA HANOI GRILLED PORK: $26.50
  • HANOI SPRINGROLLS: $26.50

Decoder: bun cha Hanoi is grilled pork with rice noodles and herbs, and the menu prints it as BUN CHA HANOI GRILLED PORK at $26.50.

MS.SUE — 100 Hopkins Street, Footscray VIC 3011

MS.SUE is at 100 Hopkins Street, Footscray. Its own site links a menu PDF, but the file is an image, so we could not read any prices from it. We also found no opening hours printed, so we state none. Check the site or ask the restaurant before you go.

Menu says: we could not read it, because the linked menu is an image, so we will not guess at dishes.

Hot Star Chicken (Footscray) — Shop 2 / 32 Leeds Street, Footscray VIC 3011

Hot Star Chicken’s site gives its hours as 11am-7pm Sunday to Friday and 10am-7pm Saturday, at Shop 2 / 32 Leeds Street. Its price list prints Hot Star Large Chicken at $12.10, Crispy Wings (6pcs) at $8.70, Salt & Pepper Squid at $9.00 and Regular Fries at $3.70. The same price list covers all the Hot Star stores listed, so these are chain prices rather than Footscray-specific ones.

On the menu (copied from hotstarmelb.com.au on 3 October 2026):

  • Hot Star Large Chicken: $12.10
  • Crispy Wings (6pcs): $8.70
  • Salt & Pepper Squid: $9.00
  • Regular Fries: $3.70

How to order: the site shows CLICK ‘N’ COLLECT, and 6pcs on the wings line means six pieces.

Luxsmith — 5 Gamon Street, Seddon VIC 3011

Luxsmith’s site lists lunch on Friday and Saturday from 12:00pm and dinner Tuesday to Saturday from 5:30pm. It prints a $49 lunch menu and a $55 SET MENU. The dine-in menu is an image, so those two set prices are all we can quote. The site also says Australia’s Wine List of The Year 2026, which is the venue’s own wording.

On the menu (copied from luxsmith.com.au and luxsmith.com.au/menu on 3 October 2026):

  • lunch menu: $49
  • SET MENU: $55

Decoder: a set menu is one fixed price for a run of courses chosen for you, and here the $55 SET MENU is the line to ask about.

Eat with Kim — 1/92 Charles Street, Seddon VIC 3011

Eat with Kim’s site says NOW OPEN FOR LUNCH & DINNER, with Monday closed, Tuesday to Wednesday 10:00am to 7:00pm, Thursday to Saturday 10:00am to 8:00pm and Sunday 10:00am to 7:00pm. The site describes its Phở Bò Wagyu as what many customers call one of the best Phở bowls in Melbourne. That is the venue’s own wording, not an award. We found no prices printed.

Order this first: the Phở Bò Wagyu, which the site features; phở bò is beef phở, and wagyu is the beef named in the dish.

Sinjeon K-Street Food (Seddon) — 79 Victoria Street, Seddon VIC 3011

Sinjeon’s site lists Tuesday to Sunday 11:45 am to 3 pm and 5 pm to 8:45 pm, with Monday 5 pm to 8:45 pm. Its menu categories are Topokki, Noodle, Rice, Kimbap, Fries and Set Menu, but they are shown as images, so we captured no prices. It is at 79 Victoria Street, Seddon.

Decoder: kimbap is rice and fillings rolled in seaweed, and topokki is rice cakes; the site does not tell us how either is seasoned.
