Trang Restaurant West End Menu
Trang Restaurant West End at 2/59 Hardgrave Rd brings Vietnamese and Chinese flavors together in a broad menu of pho, noodle soups, rice dishes, laksa, stir-fries, seafood, rice paper rolls, congee, hot pots, and vegetarian specialties. Soft drinks, ginger beer, sparkling water, tea, beer, and wine-friendly seafood dishes round out the experience.
Rare Beef Pho, Trang’s Special Fried Rice, Poached Chicken Laksa, Spring Rolls, and Sizzling Mongolian Beef are among the strongest choices for first-time diners. Seafood recommendations such as Soft Shell Crab and Viet Hot & Sour Steam Boat add further variety.
Most noodle and rice meals sit around A$19–A$25, while banquet menus begin at approximately A$33 per person, providing good value for generous portions and wide selection. Long-simmered broths, fresh herbs, crisp vegetables, tender meats, seafood, and aromatic spices create bright, balanced flavors.
Vegetarian and vegan diners have an extensive dedicated selection, including tofu, vegan “pork,” vegetable laksa, and hot pots. Pho can also be prepared gluten-free with rice noodles. Although no dedicated children's menu is listed, mild noodles, rice, and fried rice are approachable family choices.
With service beginning around 11 AM, Trang is ideal for lunch, dinner, takeaway, family meals, and group dining rather than breakfast.
Menu Highlights
-
Rare Beef Pho – Thin slices of beef meet rice noodles, fresh herbs, and an aromatic broth simmered with beef bones and fragrant spices. Its clean yet deeply savory flavor makes it one of the restaurant’s top sellers.
-
Trang’s Special Fried Rice – Fluffy rice is stir-fried with savory ingredients for a satisfying balance of smoky wok flavor and tender texture. It remains one of the menu’s most popular everyday meals.
-
Poached Chicken Laksa – Tender poached chicken sits in a creamy, aromatic laksa broth with noodles and warming spices. The combination of richness and gentle heat makes it especially comforting.
-
Sizzling Mongolian Beef – Tender beef arrives sizzling in a sweet-savory Mongolian-style sauce. Bold flavor and caramelized edges make it an appealing choice for sharing with steamed rice.
-
Combination Pho – Rare beef, brisket, beef ball, and tendon come together in the restaurant’s aromatic pho broth. The variety of textures makes this a more substantial take on classic Vietnamese noodle soup.
-
Fresh Tofu Rice Paper Rolls – Fresh tofu, vermicelli, lettuce, pickled carrot, cucumber, bean sprouts, and mint are wrapped in soft rice paper. Crisp vegetables and cool herbs make these a refreshing vegan-friendly starter.
-
Soft Shell Crab – Crisp soft shell crab highlights the seafood side of the menu with a delicate interior and crunchy exterior. It is specifically featured among the restaurant’s seafood recommendations and pairs naturally with a cold beer.
