Solid value, generous portions, with room for small improvements
I had a really enjoyable meal at Nan Yang Express Hawthorn. I especially liked the braised pork trotter rice, which was rich and comforting, as well as the fish fillet thin noodles, clean in flavour and very satisfying.
The portion sizes are generous, and with most dishes sitting around $20 per person, this place strikes a very reasonable balance between value for money and taste. It’s not flashy food, but it’s honest, filling, and well executed.
The food was served very quickly, which was a big plus — though this may also be because we were among the first customers to arrive.
That said, there is some room for improvement in the dining experience. I had to spend a bit of time finding the menu, as no one introduced the ordering process, and cutlery was self-serve in a designated area, which wasn’t explained either. Once you know the system it’s fine, but clearer guidance would make the first visit smoother.
Overall, still a solid and affordable option, and definitely worth a try, especially if you enjoy comforting, no-nonsense meals.

The No. 58 Laksa Beef was delicious and came in a very generous bowl.
The No. 5 Pho was amazing, with a large portion as well.
The No. 99 Fried Tofu was excellent and the serving size was big.
The No. 28 Spring Rolls were perfectly crispy and tasted great wrapped with fresh lettuce.
Paired with a mango mousse drink — absolutely perfect! 😍

The food is amazing and so authentic every dish is full of rich flavours that remind us of home. Papaya salad and yum nam are especially delicious and true to Thai-Lao taste. Tom yum and fish with herbs are also highly recommended! The staff are very friendly and provide such warm service. This is our third visit, and we’ll definitely be coming back again!

This is the place to go to friends, weve moved here 2 years ago and have been here at least once a month it sooo good. The owners are super genuine and they are super friendly. The food is flavourful and what you'd expect. East to get to and prices are very 2019!
Definitely give it a shot
