Van Hing is a family run Vietnamese and Chinese restaurant at 42 Camberwell Church Street in Camberwell. Its broad menu brings together comforting noodle soups, rice dishes, wok cooked favourites and roast meats in an informal neighbourhood setting. The range makes it practical for a quick solo meal, a takeaway or a table sharing several dishes across both cuisines.
The starters offer plenty of ways to begin a shared meal. Fresh Vietnamese rice paper rolls provide a lighter option, while Vietnamese meat spring rolls, prawn toast and crispy aromatic duck introduce richer textures. Salt and pepper squid, ribs and tofu add crisp, savoury choices, with sauces and chilli allowing diners to choose between gentler flavours and a stronger kick.
Pho is one of the main attractions, with aromatic broth, rice noodles, herbs and a selection of meats, including a house special combination and a distinctive duck version. Banh cuon offers delicate steamed rice rolls, while chow mein, Singapore rice noodles and fried rice cover familiar wok cooked dishes. These sections make it easy to build a meal around soup, noodles or rice according to appetite.
Chinese main courses extend across chicken, beef, pork, duck and seafood, with black bean, Szechuan, sweet and sour and other classic sauces. Char siu and roast duck bring the depth of Cantonese barbecue, while vegetable and tofu dishes give meat free diners substantial alternatives. Van Hing’s mix of Vietnamese specialities and Chinese favourites offers Camberwell a varied menu suited to both familiar orders and something different.
