My rating would actually be a 3.5 based on my overall recent dinner experience for a special day. Went on a Saturday evening and this place is busy and very very loud. You can't listen to people on your own table unless you do shout your lungs out. We booked a table with a kid, and as we walked in were assigned a high bar like sitting. I have never been to a restaurant with my kid and was told to seat on a high posture seating; which obviously is hard for kids to reach out to their food. Well clearly there wasn't any common sense prevailing and I can conclude it is not at all a kid-friendly restaurant. I have always found food to be good and fresh but their service way too slack, and this evening's dinner experience being no exception. However, there's was with this young girl who served our table (not sure of her name), she did her best to make us feel comfortable. Menu doesn't offer too many varieties and is not properly balanced to have a perfect meal unless you are in a big group. I have been to lunch couple of times and definitely their lunch menu is better and provides you a greater choice. Summing up, ordered BEEF RIBS and it was great. Not a comfortable dinning experience given the noice and slack service & ohh ya don't take your kid for dinner here.

St Cloud focuses on share plates and drinks, leaning a bit more Asian fusion than authentic Vietnamese. We ordered a serve of the chicken rice paper rolls and chicken spring rolls (2 pieces per serve) to share between 4. Both were nice but quite pricey for the size. For main, we ordered the beef ribs with 2 serves of rice. Ribs were quite rich due to star anise and red wine but a huge serving. My favourite dish was the wok tossed rice noodles in satay sauce. This dish was refreshing and the perfect side to a meat. The 2 entrees, main meat and 'salad' noodles between the 4 of us was enough ($90). If you are big eaters, it may be better value to get the Feed Me menu. I have previously enjoyed the poached chicken and jungle curry takeaway. The interior upstairs is lovely and cosy and would make a great function location though it can get noisy. Service was a bit pushy with a few instances of trying to take our plates when people were still eating.

Found a local Vietnamese feas. Pham’s Classic Feed Me menu for 2 just for $110. The food and cocktails here are delicious and so refreshing. The feed me menu is more than enough for 2, you get 3 entrees - 2 mains - 2 sides + Rice. Love the pork belly and lamb. Soooo soft and tender, full of flavour. We were so full and satisfied after our meal. The Viet Slaw is addictive and easy got demolished Excellent quality food and portion size. The staff are so kind and lovely. Service is top notch, always making sure customers are happy and satisfied.

You have to try all the above dishes

Considered one of the healthiest cuisines in the world, Vietnamese food is characterized by it's bright, fresh ingredients.  Most of the dishes incorporate ginger, fresh mint, fresh coriander, cinnamon, bird’s eye chili, lime and basil leaves. Was super happy to find this super authentic eatery in hawthorn east @stcloudeatinghouse , Food which is dynamic, lively and their recipe for making Vietnamese culture come to life. Not to mention it’s a great value for money! We had an their feed me menu and its such a big feast- over two courses, feast on a banquet of their classic dishes with delicious cocktails! My favourite from the lot was Sot Vang Braised Beef Ribs, melt in mouth and delicious. The cocktails were really refreshing too, this one is one of my last and most cherished summer meals this year❤️

Don’t even get me started on those chicken wings! Juice and flavourful, paired perfectly with the sweet and savory fish sauce caramel.

We've eaten here twice and the food, and service are always phenomenal. The banquet is a great way to try lots of different things. We recently ordered Uber eats and our delivery driver never showed up with our St clouds order. When we put a re order through the st cloud team added a lovely note and a complimentary slice of cake. This was incredibly thoughtful and saved the night. We will definitely eat here again and recommend it to anyone in the area. The pork claypot is a must! And is now one of our favorite meals

Absolutely loved our experience here! The staff were friendly, the food was amazing and the place was inviting! There is also a front courtyard which makes it pup friendly too. Throughly enjoyed the rooftop as it was a beautiful day. This eating house is spacious and have different seating for small and big groups, perfect for any occasion. I cannot choose a favourite dish as all our dishes was a win - we had the sticky chicken wings, mango salad and beef vermicelli! There are also set menus which I’m keen to try the next time I visit this place for dinner! Keep up the great work guys!

We dropped in for a quick lunch of Spring Rolls and the Soft Shell Crab Noodle dish. WOW! Super tasty and a perfect light lunch. The staff were upbeat and cheerful adding to the low key funky ambience. Great spot to eat. I’d add photos if there was any food left!

Amazing yellow jungle curry & noodle salad along with the stuffed satay tofu rice paper rolls were delicious. I also enjoyed the kafir line margarita … and just when I thought we couldn’t eat another thing managed to somehow find room for the delicious brownie cookie with ice cream! A totally indulgent dining experience on an eventful night… Go Matilda’s!

Everything in the feed me menu was amazing! Love the crispy rice that came with the wings, pork belly was tender and flavourful. Thanks for recommending the fried bao dessert, it’s now our favorite too. Great food, lovely staff, and nice ambience!

Caramel Pork Belly

Ridiculously high price for a very small portion and tasteless Vietnamese food. Claimed to be Vietnamese, but the food is nowhere near modern Vietnamese food let alone authentic. A waste of money and if you look for real Vietnamese taste, this is not the place to go to.

We had the banh mi with chicken and the tofu and the crispy egg noodles with shiitake and chicken side dish. Delicious, would definitely come here again. Not to mention, amazing cocktails and very attentive host/waitresses.

We shared a lovely Sunday lunch with friends and everything was delicious. At $45ph we had ample food and variety, the drinks were generous and the decor was modern, bright. We'll be heading back for sure.

The $65 set menu is such a good shout, we went from starving to rolling out the door. Such good food as well! Didn’t manage to take photos of all the food.

Sticky Chicken Wings

Great place to have lunch with friends. Cool ambience, friendly staff and fantastic food. They are checking covid certificates pretty closely, which is a positive for me. Would recommend. Only downside was parking, which was super hard to find a place for longer than 2 hours, had to shift the car mid way through our meal

Finally went here after my wife kept nagging me for ages. Glad I did as the food was delicious! I've never had Vietnamese food that I have enjoyed before, but this was great. We had the fish sauce caramel wings, beef ribs and chicken rice paper rolls. Staff were lovely and friendly too. Looking forward to coming back!

Went for a lunch meeting which was more lunch than meeting. We had the Feed Me menu with seafood and really enjoyed ourselves. The fish and scallops were fresh and tasty, the beer and cocktails cold and spicy, but the pork belly stole the show. Great services with a smile. All up, must return.

Every dish I have ever had here is finger licking good. Have been coming here since it opened and it’s still very good and one of the stand out restaurants in the area.
