Xeom - Melbourne

Walking up and down smith street my new Favourite food street :D!! My cousin loves Asian seeing as its not to much of that in country outback Sweden. Asains hard cause it 's so many place to choose from... we stopped outside Xeom cause the table carts at the front window looked super cool : !! Menu looked good but what made me instantly choose this place was that there was a Photo of Heston Marc Blumenthal with the owners :D 'Heston knows Beston '!! was busy enough for a tuesday night.. know one was sitting at the table carts.. priorities lol!! Had the high chairs which i love when having a big feed : Ordered the soft shell crab rice paper spring rolls first up... all i can say is that the crunchy delicous taste made my night right there and then : !! Also had the beef Betal leaf skewers which reminded me of Dolmades and were really good. They had a shredded duck curry with Roti bread on special which my mouth is watering just thinking about it, was fantastically good but like always with delicous great tasting meals the portion always feels to little lol!! For mains i got the Wok rice noodle stir fried chicken, Pho meat ball Chicken on tomato rice. Wanted a good mix of meals, favourite would of been split with the noidle tomato rice haha we shared ate the food like we had a time limit to eat it in lol!! P.S. the Pho was great aswell but its great where ever you go, I 've never had bad Pho ever touch wood :D!! We had plenty of Singha 's Tigers through out : !! This was definately not just any Vietnamese Restaurant haha: !! Follow Heston or any of the other chef Greats they not just good at cooking they good at finding great places to eat : !!

We had the Duck Curry with Roti and the Beef Beef Brisket Pho finished off with a Vietnamese Iced Coffee. Absolutely delicious right down to the very last mouthful. Would go back and recommend to others. The staff were friendly and found time to chat. Another bonus was they sell Vietnamese ground coffee ready to filter for an authentic brew in the comfort of your own home (They also sell the drip filter as well).

Food is fresh and tasty!! My partner and I enjoyed a fantastic meal satay skewers were great!! Rice paper rolls were huge but still very delicious, our mains were just as good, all the food reminded us of our recent trip to vietnam. As we are both chefs we love our food and this place is a must one of the best vietnamese spots in town!!! Will be back for more.

Always a great place to take the kids for an early dinner. They love the duck curry roti, and spring rolls. I love the Pho.

Great vibe, fresh food and busy even on the Royal Wedding night. Very well priced in a funky and entertaining part of the city!
