Correction (5 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 5 October 2026.

Asian food is a wide label, so this page splits it by what each place says it cooks: Vietnamese, noodles, and Japanese sushi. Four places in Mernda had enough on the public record for us to stand behind them: Mrs Pho House Mernda, Seasonal Noodle and two Kikuchi Sushi stores.

Each one was matched against at least two sources on 5 October 2026. We found no food prices on these places’ own pages (Mrs Pho House’s menu prices only its drinks), so there are no dollar amounts here; every dish note below is general knowledge about the format, and every fact about a place is attributed to its source.

Mrs Pho House Mernda — T8, 21/180 Riverdale Blvd, Mernda VIC 3754

Mrs Pho House Mernda describes itself on its own site as “A Taste Of Vietnam” and lists “Banh Mi”. Banh mi is a Vietnamese baguette sandwich, and pho (the word in the restaurant’s name) is a Vietnamese noodle soup in broth. The site’s menu page lists its dishes without prices and says “Prices shown are indicative only — please refer to Uber Eats or Menulog”. That menu page does not say which of the site’s four shops it covers, so confirm what the Mernda shop serves before you order.

The restaurant’s own contact page prints “Trading hours Monday 10:00 – 21:00 Tuesday 10:00 – 21:00 Wednesday 10:00 – 21:00 Thursday 10:00 – 21:00 Friday 10:00 – 21:00 Saturday 10:00 – 21:00 Sunday 10:00 – 20:00”. The Mernda Town Centre directory lists Mrs Pho House with a different Sunday start, so confirm Sunday hours before you go.

How to order: the site points to Uber Eats or Menulog for current prices, so check the menu there before you pick a dish.

Seasonal Noodle — Mernda Village Shopping Centre, 59 Mernda Village Drive, Mernda VIC 3754

The Mernda Village Shopping Centre site says “Seasonal Noodle provides locals with traditional Asian cuisine, made with hand-crafted recipes and fresh ingredients.” It is shop #3 in the centre, and the page invites you to “Visit in-store today or call the store to place an order.”

The centre page prints these hours: “MONDAY ———————- 11am - 8pm” through Saturday at the same times, and “SUNDAY ———————– 4pm - 8pm”. The page shows no menu, so we cannot name a dish or a region for this shop, and the centre site’s footer reads 2024, so treat the details as possibly out of date.

Menu says: nothing we could read; the centre page gives the shop number and a call-or-visit invitation, not a menu.

Kikuchi Sushi (Mernda Junction) — K2/1435 Plenty Rd, Mernda VIC 3754

Kikuchi lists two Mernda stores. This one is at Mernda Junction Shopping Centre, K2/1435 Plenty Rd, and Kikuchi’s own locations page tags it “Self-service Only”, the same tag it gives the Town Centre store. The chain’s site says “Our goal is to be the best place for people looking forward to fresh and delicious sushi and other Japanese meals”, and lists “Fast Pickup”.

Its party platter line reads “ENJOY PARTY AT HOME WITH OUR PARTY PLATTERS NIGIRI URAMAKI MAKI GUNKAN SASHIMI BENTO BOX”. Those are formats: nigiri is hand-pressed rice with a topping, maki is a rolled cylinder, uramaki is a roll with the rice on the outside, gunkan is a rice boat wrapped in seaweed and topped, sashimi is sliced fish without rice, and a bento box is a compartment meal. The pages we read printed no trading hours or prices for this store; ordering runs through a JavaScript store that did not show them.

Decoder: “Self-service Only” is the locations page’s tag for this store, so check how pickup works before you travel.

Kikuchi Sushi (Mernda Town Centre) — Ground Floor Shop K1/1410 Plenty Rd, Mernda VIC 3754

This is Kikuchi’s other Mernda store, on the ground floor at Shop K1/1410 Plenty Rd in the Mernda Town Centre. It shares the chain’s site, which says “Our goal is to be the best place for people looking forward to fresh and delicious sushi and other Japanese meals” and lists “Fast Pickup” and the same party platter line (nigiri, uramaki, maki, gunkan, sashimi and bento box).

The Mernda Town Centre site prints this store’s hours as “Mon - Sat - 9:00am - 5:30pm Sun - 9:00am - 5:00pm”. We could not read menu prices for it.

Order this first: a platter, going by the chain’s own wording, but the price is not published on the pages we read, so ask the store.

Quick answers

Where can I find Vietnamese food in Mernda?

Mrs Pho House Mernda, at T8, 21/180 Riverdale Blvd, is the Vietnamese restaurant that cleared our checks. Its site says “A Taste Of Vietnam” and lists “Banh Mi”, and its contact page prints daily trading hours. The dishes on its menu page carry no prices, so check them on Uber Eats or Menulog, as the site suggests.

Is there sushi in Mernda?

Yes. Kikuchi Sushi has two Mernda stores on its own locations page: one at Mernda Junction Shopping Centre, K2/1435 Plenty Rd, and one on the ground floor at Shop K1/1410 Plenty Rd in the Mernda Town Centre. The Town Centre store’s hours are listed by the centre site; we could not read hours for the Junction store.

Do these places publish their prices?

Not for food on the pages we read. On 5 October 2026 we found no food prices on these places’ own pages: Mrs Pho House’s menu prices only its drinks and says its prices are indicative only. That is why this page has no dollar amounts, and why we suggest you check before you go.

Which of these places publish Sunday hours?

Mrs Pho House Mernda’s own page prints Sunday 10:00 – 20:00, and Seasonal Noodle’s centre page prints Sunday as 4pm - 8pm. The Mernda Town Centre site prints “Sun - 9:00am - 5:00pm” for the Kikuchi Sushi store there. We did not read Sunday hours for the Junction store.

How we checked

We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources on 5 October 2026: the places’ own websites, the Australian Good Food Guide, merndatowncentre.au and OpenStreetMap. 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.
