I was so excited when I discovered little Saigon plaza @ BANKSTOWN. The plaza has Papparich, Oliver…read morebrown and of course Chefs Gallery. The food here was so nice and service was impeccable. We had wonton soup, dim sims with avocado, crab spring rolls, Singapore noodles, oxtail and surf and turf (fish fillets with pork belly). And the grand finale was a pot plant dessert. The food wasn't presented as well as the one in the city but it tasted just as good. We also had a really nice Pinot Gris which was worth a mention. Parking was a breeze which is the best part of eating out in the burbs.

It's not bad. This is my uncle's favorite place. You can see them make the noodles (in certain…read morelocations), they handmake all of the noodles. Are the noodles that great in my opinion = no. But, there's plenty of other options that I love. I really enjoy all their different tofus. But yeah, some things are great and some not so much. I've gone to a few different locations, and they're practically all the same. I'd give this a 3. But, since some love it, I'd say at 4. Would I recommend this as a place you HAD to go when in Sydney, no. You can skip this place, but if you're interested in taking a chunk load of your family out to eat: go for it: something for everything.

You must be wondering, how does a pokey hole-in-the-wall manned by bushy middle aged dads for…read morewaiters stay in business for so long? It ain't service for one. Firstly, they assume everyone, and I mean everyone, who walks in knows Vietnamese. Secondly, they assume you know what you want because everyone else in the joint seems to know. Man I don't even know what undies I want to wear on a Sunday. Being the clever man that I am, I turned the tables around until the waiter asked me not to play with the furniture. So I said: "Tell me waiter man, what is good here?" Suddenly, he is empowered with strong English and replies with a smile "EVERYTHING :)" Notice the emoticon? Well I felt that. There's only one kind of business with that kind of attitude that still manages to draw in the crowds: it's one with good food at a good price - thankfully Tuong Lai does both. Forget blowing $10 on a Subway sandwich next door - it won't even get you a footlong and cookie these days. Curse you cookie! Instead, bring your blue note to the moustached men of Tuong Lai and watch them pirouette the sticky floors with your note flapping about in exchange for some hearty Vietnamese fare. I believe there's a wormhole in the kitchen that connects Cabramatta with Saigon because its fast and authentic. Try the COM TAM BI SUON CHA - Print that out, hand it in and thank me later. Oh and that sugar cane prawn looks mighty fine too but I haven't figured the translation yet. You do it!

I officially announce this as my favourite restaurant and go to Chinese Restaurant in Beverly…read moreHills. Hiding away from the bustling streets of Beverly Hills this crouching tiger serves some of the best unique dishes that you won't generally find in normal restaurants. What I hate about Chinese food is they don't have very attractive names and most of the times they're just a straight translation from Chinese .. So I'm going to do my best to make the dishes names sounds as awesome as it tastes. We ordered wombok served in a chef's special broth, salt smoked chicken with ground ginger dressing, deep fried spatchcock and deep fried white bait with crumbed seasoned duck yolk. Oh and plain steamed rice of course! Did that tickle your palate or salivate your mouth or what? Words is hard to give this place and their food justice but the wombok was cook just right where it's not too soft as it still has a crunch when you bite on it. The special broth is thick so with each bite you get a substantial amount of flavour without needing to actually drink the broth. Which of course I drank it as if it was normal soup, just couldn't resist! Now the chicken, it's free range which makes the meat relatively chewy, and not sure how they did it, but the skin was crunchy like jellyfish if anyone has tried that before. Full of flavour and that ginger dressing was just the best compliment to the smoke salt flavour. D-E-V-I-N-E. Normally you would have white bait/squid as salt and pepper as most of you foodies would know, but using seasoned duck yolk (the ones in mooncakes) adds a different perspective all together. The first few bites are quite tasteless, but then it grows on you. The trick is to eat the white bait with pieces of the crumbed yolk and there you have a party on your palate dance floor. A meal at a Chinese restaurant isn't finished until you have the fruits. Usually (95% of the time) fruits at restaurants are tasteless, but man this place does everything so well, the fruits were SO SWEET! Can't wait for round 2!

Flying out to the states for New years and wanted to take my family somewhere nice the night before…read morei leave. Really wanted some asian food and found this place on Yelp with 2 5 star reviews. Have to admit that the last 2 reviewers for this place were spot on with their 5 star reviews ! The Restaurant itself is pretty small yet cosy enough to dine comfortably . All the food we had ordered from the entrée, to the mains and to the deep fried ice cream were outstandingly delicious! My mum is a pretty hard lady to please seeing as she was once a chef before we moved to Australia, she mentioned to the owner that it was the best Chinese food she's had a verly long time, she had the sweet and sour duck and she said it was melt in the mouth goodness !! At the end of our feast all of our plates were spotless.. thats got to mean more than that everyone was hungry lol!! Also another note to owner or possibly the manager of the Chinese Restaurant was very humble and a funny guy, joking around and being as helpful as can be . Found a favourite Chinese Restaurant mid week up north coast and now I've found my all time Favourite Chinese restaurant in the area i live in !! Was very impressed and will definately be back and recommending tohs place to friends and family !!!

***IM ACTUALLY REVIEWING THE STORE IN PETERSHAM***…read more As I could not find the store for petersham on yelp! Honestly the food was 6/5 stars but at first we had a waiter who serve us and she she couldn't be anymore rude, she would ask us about our order then rolled her eyes. When we asked to dine in she just walked off without saying anything then comes back and points to the back and said someone will come back and take your order. We then sat down and not long after another waiter approached us and took our order and was very polite. The food was brought out and it was delicious, it was just our experience with the first waiter that made them lose a star from me.

Been here a good few times now with work colleagues, friends and family. Done take away, dinner and lunch and so have had my share of experiences here. I've been to the Petersham one as well a good few times too and will say that I prefer that one BUT this holds it own when you can't be bothered to get to the inner city and craving their chicken and burgers with that delicious mayo and chili sauce.. Service has always been great here an although accommodating to children in a high chair, it can be a tight squeeze when the place is busy, which is quite often. The chicken is delicious and comes with complimentary bread and olives. The salads are tasty accompaniments to the chicken as are the chips.. Ahh the hand sliced chips.... YOU MUST HAVE THEM!! Warning - you'll want to have it every. Single. Time. Just as good as Petersham. Freshly cooked tasty morsels you want, want, want. The burger is probably the one thing I prefer in Petersham but I can make do, if I have to, sigh. You won't be disappointed!

On the weekends it is super popular so I was glad to come on a weekday. So many things I'd love to try, but I got the toast with ricotta, mushrooms and poached eggs. Beautifully poached eggs with a delicious thyme flavoured benedict sauce, the whole thing was delicious and worth the steep $17. Service was fast, the man was polite and helpful and I happily go again to try some of the other offerings (Bircher, chia pudding, pancakes and the lunch salad options too). I had a latte that was single origin and a very smooth tasty flavour. I'm not a fan or brown sugar but it seems to be the trendy thing at the moment. Check this place out.

This place has soooooo much flavour it in their soup that you forget that the idea of the liquid is more than just keeping the ingredients hot and in suspension. I came across this place because some work colleagues said it was better than Phó Ann (which also used to be their favourite Phó go to shop). At $9.50 a bowl it is a bargain for Sydney prices and about 45% cheaper than the famous Phó Ann at Bankstown. Not only that but it is located near the train station at the Flemington markets and parking was also easy to get nearby. I have found a new Viet/Phó restaurant that would surely be at the top of my list for a long time coming
