This is the perfect stop in Footscray for a quick steamy bowl of authentic Vietnamese pho. The menu is very simple with mainly a selection of pho dishes to choose from, and a few side dishes like Vietnamese spring rolls. Prices are superbly cheap and you can't beat them anywhere else. Service is very fast and the restaurant is usually packed every night (but you can still find a seat!)

I ordered takeout here once over the phone, and was told to pick up my order within 20 minutes. Upon arrival (on time) I had to wait a further 20 minutes before my order was made. It was a Wednesday night and I assume they have a high volume of orders but there were only 2 people cooking, in full view of everyone waiting which was slightly strange.
Nonetheless the food was quite good, very fresh and tastes great with a unique fusion twist. Location also makes it easy to get to with plenty of parking around. They have a few quite original dishes on the menu which I haven't tried but expect would be quite good.
This place is amazing! I would have missed this tiny store on Exhibition Street had its food display not caught my eye - they were sushi rolls in the shape of burgers. My partner and I went in to try and they tasted as good as they looked, mainly it was the novelty and presentation of the dish, but I continue to recommend this little place to all my friends who visit Melbourne. Just remember it is not open on Mondays.
I came across this at Highpoint Shopping Centre where you can ask about courses, career advice and other experiences about going to university or TAFE. They were really friendly and encouraging and they have course guides and other booklets to pick up. I only had a few questions but they were very knowledgeable and answered me right away. They also have free careers workshops and counseling which is great.

Rendina Real Estate is tidy and professional, they provide all the services they promise and are friendly and down-to-earth. We enjoy our privacy and they always ensure we are only contacted when necessary and we are given plenty of notice, unlike other landlords I have experienced that are constantly in your hair!
I recommend this real estate agent for all basic property buying, selling or renting. They are a no-fuss real estate that gets the job done.
I love this restaurant for the perfect serving sizes (to fill you up nicely), home cooked feel and very quick service! You can call them for an order and pick it up within 15 minutes, and they deliver between 5-10pm as well. They also have huge delicious bags of prawn crackers for $2 each at the front counter.

I come here almost twice a week for take-away. This restaurant provides the number one most authentic and great tasting BBQ pork rice box in the area, for $9! The staff are knowledgeable and always quick to serve you. I rarely eat in here as it does get a little noisy but the food is great and cheap, and I haven't been to other comparable Hong Kong style restaurants in the area.

Hao Phong is one of my favorite restaurants in this strip of Footscray as it provides a diverse menu with a wide range of choices, as well as being at great prices, conveniently located and fast friendly service! I highly recommend the Special Combination Broken Rice dish, a Vietnamese dish with a heap of other great ingredients in it!

This medical center is conveniently located on Rosamond Road outside Highpoint Shopping Center, and would be highly convenient if it wasn't appointment-only! The staff are friendly and professional and the doctors are experienced, however the doctor I saw was a little dismissive of my problems and seemed to want to diagnose something quickly rather than listening to all my symptoms. Expect to wait a while after your booked appointment time to actually see a doctor - on two appointments I have had to wait over an hour to be seen. Walk ins are not available and bulk billing is only available for health care card holders.
I came here with my family for Yum Cha at lunch time on a weekday. There were not many people around, it was very quiet and the floor-to-ceiling windows provided a great view and comfortable dining atmosphere. The restaurant was laid out in a very high class manner in comparison to other Kam Fook restaurants I have been to, such as the busier Chatswood branch. The prices were high for the amount of food you are getting (as expected with Yum Cha these days), but it was delicious and the quality you would expect from a good Yum Cha restaurant.
