Correction (2 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten, and every place below was checked against its own current information.
“Asian” is not a menu, so this page is sorted by what each kitchen cooks. We could verify seven places: one in Kew, Anh Anh Vietnamese Restaurant on High Street, and six in Hawthorn, the next suburb over. Three are Vietnamese, two are Korean, one is a dumpling and noodle shop, and one is Laksa Garden, whose listing says only “a blend of Asian cuisine”. No listing we read names a Chinese or Malaysian kitchen, so we do not claim either.
Two of the seven print prices on their own sites: Lady Dan and Gamsa K BBQ. The rest get an address and listed hours, and the page says when we could not read a menu.

Vietnamese
Anh Anh Vietnamese Restaurant — 285-287 High Street, Kew VIC 3101
The restaurant’s own site lists Monday 5:00pm to 9:30pm and Tuesday to Sunday 11:00am to 9:30pm. The Kew Junction Business Association directory lists it for “Dining , Take Away”. Its own menu is published as images, so we could not copy a dish or a price.
Region: not stated.
How to order: Vietnamese menus often group by type: noodle soups, rice plates and rolls. Bun, on a menu, means rice vermicelli noodles.
Order this first: nothing we can name from a menu we could not read. Start with the hours, since Monday opens at 5:00pm and every other day at 11:00am.
Lady Dan Authentic Vietnamese Cuisine — 101 Burwood Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
The restaurant’s own site lists Tuesday to Sunday, 11:00am to 9:00pm, and an in-store pickup menu with prices. Menu says: Pho with Beef or Chicken from $21.28; Lady Dan’s Signature Broken Rice from $22.40; Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (Bun bo hue) at $23.52; Fish Sauce Chicken Wings, two per serving, at $11.20.
Decoder: pho is a rice-noodle soup in a long-simmered broth, with herbs and lime served alongside. Broken rice is rice made from fractured grains, usually plated with grilled meat. Bun bo hue is a spicy beef noodle soup, named for the central Vietnamese city of Hue.
Region: not stated on the menu items we read.
Order this first: the broken rice, from $22.40, because the menu itself names it Lady Dan’s “Signature”.
Old Quarter (Pho Ly Quoc Su) — 658 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
The Glenferrie Traders Association lists the restaurant as “Old Quarter - Pho Ly Quoc Su” at 658 Glenferrie Road, open 10:30am to 9:30pm every day. OpenStreetMap carries a different name for the same address, Hanoi Old Quarter; we use the name on the association’s current listing. We could not load a website or a menu for it, so there are no prices.
Region: not stated on any listing we read.
Decoder: the name says pho, a rice-noodle soup; we did not read the menu, so we cannot say which bowls it serves.
Order this first: nothing we can name. The listed hours are the thing to check.
Korean
Gamsa K BBQ — 625 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
The restaurant’s own site lists Monday to Sunday 11:30am to 2:30pm and 5:00pm to 10:00pm, with kitchen last order at 9:00pm. The home page highlights four items: the Gamsa Family Set at $249 for 3-4 people, the Gamsa Wagyu Set at $169 for 2 people, a Premium Wagyu Outside Skirt at $46 for 180g, and Premium Beef Short Ribs at $39 for 300g. The full menu page lists headings without prices, so these are the home-page prices. The site says “We cook all our meats over real charcoal fire, not gas”, and that it offers unlimited banchan, the small side dishes that come with a Korean meal, with soft serve included.
How to order: the sets feed a table, by the site’s own sizing: two people for the Wagyu Set, three to four for the Family Set. The two single cuts are listed with their weights, 180g and 300g.
Region: not stated.
Order this first: the premium beef short ribs, $39 for 300g, the lowest-priced of the four highlights on the home page.
Sinjeon K-Street Food Hawthorn — Ground Floor Shop, 367 Burwood Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
The Glenferrie Traders Association lists it open daily, 11:30am to 3:00pm and 5:00pm to 9:00pm, and its name says Korean street food. Its own site did not respond when we checked and we found no menu, so there are no dishes or prices.
Decoder: Korean street food usually means snack-sized dishes such as rice cakes in chilli sauce or fried chicken. We do not know which of these it cooks.
Order this first: nothing we can name. Note the afternoon gap between 3:00pm and 5:00pm.
Dumplings, noodles and laksa
Triple Taste Dumpling & Noodle — 725 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
The Glenferrie Traders Association, which lists it as “Triple Taste”, gives these hours: Monday 11:30am to 2:30pm; Tuesday to Friday 11:30am to 8:30pm; Saturday 4:30pm to 8:30pm; Sunday 11:30am to 8:00pm. OpenStreetMap names it Triple Taste Dumpling & Noodle and tags the cuisine as noodle. Its listed website did not load and we found no menu, so there are no prices.
Region: not stated.
How to order: note the shape of the week: Monday is lunch only and Saturday is dinner only.
Order this first: nothing we can name from a menu we could not read.
Laksa Garden — 724 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
The Glenferrie Traders Association says “Laksa Garden offers a blend of Asian cuisine”, and lists it open 11:00am to 9:00pm every day except Tuesday, when it is closed. OpenStreetMap’s hours agree. The restaurant’s own site would not return a menu to us, so there are no prices.
Decoder: laksa is a spiced noodle soup, often coconut-based, eaten in Malaysia and Singapore. The name suggests it, but the listing does not name a region, so we do not assign one.
Order this first: nothing we can name. Remember Tuesday is closed.

How we checked
On 2 October 2026 we read the restaurants’ own sites where they loaded: Anh Anh, Lady Dan and Gamsa K BBQ. For the rest the Glenferrie Traders Association directory gives the address and hours, and each address was confirmed at a second, independent source: the Kew Junction directory or OpenStreetMap. The sites for Sinjeon, Triple Taste and Old Quarter did not load, and Laksa Garden’s site would not return a menu, so those four have hours only. Lady Dan’s prices are the in-store pickup prices on its own site; Gamsa’s are its home-page highlights. Some names differ between sources, and the notes above say which we used. Hours are as listed and can change. We did not verify what any kitchen serves beyond the items printed above. The photos are illustrative, from Unsplash: they show the kind of dish, not these restaurants’ food.
