Roll'd Chadstone
This family-centric food haven started with a single, simple craving – the founder Bao’s yearning for his mama's hand-rolled rice paper. As an adult, Bao felt a calling, not just to savour this home-cooked goodness, but to share it, exposing Aussies to Mama Hoang’s tried-and-tested, multi-generational recipes.
Roll’d was born in 2012 from this desire, serving up fast, fresh Vietnamese food packed with explosive flavour. Now, even after flinging open the doors to 125+ locations, Roll’d Chadstone sits comfortably in our list of the best catering in Melbourne. From soldiers and Bánh Mì to stirring up a Phở, they pour generations of love and heritage into every dish.
For EatFirst customers, they offer packages boasting an assortment of mini and standard-size banh mis, rice paper rolls, and more with exciting fillings like BBQ chicken, roast pork and crackling, lemongrass beef, and tofu.
