Vietastic - Parramatta

I have dined at this restaurant a few times and the meals were outstanding - truly authentic and reasonably priced. Today, the pho I ordered was perfect - delicious, hot, and flavorful. I highly recommend this place not only for the fantastic food but also for the excellent service.

I went to this restaurant for lunch with a group of coworkers. The food was delicious and authentic. I ordered a bo xao xa ot (lemongrass and chili beef stir fry) which could be ordered either hot or mild. I chose to have it hot and it was great. They also served free green tea. Keep in mind that they only accept cash. Overall, this place offers excellent homestyle Vietnamese cuisine if you happen to be in the area.

This restaurant is very modest in its appearance, but I love the food's taste and I think it can compete confidently with the other more prominent Vietnamese restaurants. I ordered the traditional beef pho and a Vietnamese spring roll. They are good combination and tast lovely. The beef pho taste great and fresh, the mint leaves also fresh. You need to generously add the hoisin and Chili sauce (trust me it taste better), while the spring roll contains shrimp and greens, with lovely peanut sauce. Lovely. The decoration is very functional, modern plastic ish minimalistic, but the restaurant is clean. Hot tea is served free of charge as in any Vietnamese restaurant. The service is not great, need a bit of time to wait, but the server (which I think the owner) is very friendly with her elderly big smile :D so.. It's okay to hold your hunger for while.

I enjoyed a combination stirfry. However there was a bit of a wait to get my meal. The rest of our group got theirs. By the time I got mine I was due back at work. I needed a container to take majority of my meal and they charge 50cents for a container. My lunch wasn't cheap, it was like $17 meal. I think if the meal doesn't come out after 30mins take away should be free. Who charges for containers these days?I would almost consider coming back but I felt they are being a bit tight.

I really enjoy this restaurant and keep coming back for their tasty chicken and prawn rice paper rolls.
