Lyttle Asia - Bendigo

Wanted to find a good authentic vietnamese place in our home city. First visit to this restaurant. I always get a bit skeptical of restaurants that offer multi national dishes as they never seem to specialise in all.We ordered the beef pho, veg spring rolls, indian butter chicken. As there was no hoisin or chilli sauce on the table I asked the waitress if they have any and was told that was an extra 50c. After the pho arrived my wife requested some to the waitress's annoyance. Pho was delicious and fresh. Looked great. It did however have a few additions that I don't see in my fav vietnamese restaurants we frequent in melbourne. It had baby corn, carrot, pineapple core and tofu balls.Veg mini sping rolls (4) were delicious with fresh herbs and well presented.Indian butter chicken was terrible. No depth of flavour. Breast chicken not marinated in tandor spices etc. no heat. Had to ask for chilli. Still tasted like the sauce base was rushed and very light.House white wine was the cheap and nasty stuff you try to avoid at the bottle'o.Other waitress on the till didnt greet or make any comment other than stating the amount of the bill and do I need a reciept. No eye contact or other skills expected from someone in hospitality.Decor and feel of the restaurant was nice. Just a pitty the wait staff show all the signs of not wanting to be there.

Wow very impressed with the scenery and cleanliness of the restaurant the food is great and fairly priced. The main dishes are the ones to go for. Very good mixture of diverse ethnic Asian cuisines!

Feeling hungry during the week?$10 for the lunch special. Big plate of freshly cooked food that arrives just in time. The menu changes daily and we had; vegetable spring rolls, satay chicken, fried vegetables, rice and a roti.Good food. Good price. Good service.Say no more.

A belated review. Consistently well presented tasty $10 lunch deal, on 3 or 4 occasions. I'm yet to have dinner there, but intend to soon. Give them a go.

Worth travelling to Bendigo for! Had the shared entrée and main meal platters and both were outstanding; meat so tender it slid off the bone and melted in the mouth. Lots of different flavours and generous servings. Service was friendly and efficient. will be our regular Bendigo stop from now on.
