Tonkin does indeed have a cosy feel. They have paid attention to the music having four good-sized speakers and a a good selection of pop style music. The menu is sensibly designed. The last time I was here I had Bún which was excellent. Today I am content with their Pinot Noir and it is very drinkable. Good staff.
We came here for a late lunch, very good value lunch specials and the food was great. The Vegan duck pho was nice, and the crispy fried tofu and spring rolls delightful. The tofu and rice was also quite good, and the crispy chicken wings were VERY good. Very refreshing meal, friendly service and nice setting.
Ordered the AUD20~ lunch menu that comes with 2 sides, the sou of beef Pho tasted bland and it tastes much better after adding some lemon juice, fried spring roll was fine, tofu wasn’t too bad.
So yummy and good value! We got the lunch special for ~$20 each. I got a beef pho with 2 chicken wings and a viet iced coffee. Partner got beef pho with 2 chicken wings and spring rolls. Overall, super yummy broth and balanced mix of veggies and meat and noodles in the soup. (Sorry, photos are from half eaten)
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tonkin, a small Vietnamese restaurant located on Smith Street in Collingwood, and I must say, it was an incredible experience. The food at Tonkin is simply outstanding, really good and simple.
I tried the pork bao and the chicken vermicelli noodle salad, and both dishes were absolutely amazing. The pork bao was tender and flavorful, with the perfect balance of savory and sweet. The chicken vermicelli noodle salad was a refreshing delight, with the combination of fresh herbs, crunchy vegetables, and succulent chicken. The staff at Tokito were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable.

Amazingly delicious and fresh Vietnamese with predominantly vegan menu. Bao buns were fresh, tasty, fluffy and moorish. Pho with vegan duck was perfect. We really appreciated being able to serve ourselves the condiments (hoisin, chillies, soy, etc) to make our soup exactly how we like it. Fried tofu was pop-in-the mouth yummy. Friendly service and didn't have to wait long for the food.
Had a really nice meal at Tonkin yesterday, opting for the $18.40 lunch special which is EXCELLENT value. The special gets you any main and either a drink + 1 side or 2 sides if you're super hungry.
The bun was fresh and chargrilled pork was succulent. The pho was based on a vegan broth which was much milder and less flavourful than the regular version - however a great option for vegans. The chicken wings and fried tofu were winners.
Amazing staff who go above and beyond and despite a busy day being able to fulfil orders at rapid pace.
I would come back for the bun with the lunch special. I might give the pho a miss personally but would be keen to give the broken rice a go!
Awesome work guys, really well done!

Great place to get your vegetarian meal. Half of their menu is vegetarian/vegan dishes. The pho broth feels clean and different to your pho broth. The bun is refreshing and the grill beef was tender and juicy. The portion is a little small though.
