Mietta's Review
Run by Buddhist monks from Braybrook's Quang Minh temple, thought to be the only Vietnamese vegetarian restaurant in Melbourne. Their vegetarian rice paper rolls and spring rolls are absolutely the best. A good place for a quiet peaceful meal. The staff of Bo De Trai (the lake where Buddha sat) are volunteers working for our enlightenment.
