tan viet noodle house

consistently good crispy chicken eggnoodlesoup.
tan viet is known for its crispy chicken either dry (no soup) or with soup. sitting at the top of john street of the shopping strip of cabramatta, this place sometimes gets so busy that there is a line to get in on weekends for lunch. definitely worth the wait as tables are turned over quickly. food is also fresh and quick. there is plenty of seating and a ramp for prams/walkers, but is partially used to store bins and trolleys.
we ordered the crispy chickennoodlesoup with egg noodles, white rice noodles are also available but egg noodles have that bite to it (al dente) and doesn't go soggy like white rice noodles do. it comes in a bowl with clear broth, chives, shallots, and coriander. the broth is tasty, not too salty and not too sweet. the dish comes with a side of bean sprouts, i personally prefer cooked bean sprouts and i further cook them in the soup as it comes out piping hot. the dipping sauce generally made with fish sauce, sugar and vinegar also had some chilli in it - yummy when dipped with your chicken, the combination of flavours are good. the chicken had a crispy skin and was moreish. its tasty on its own but next level when dipped in the sauce. i also ordered a side of pickled vegetables of carrot and cabbage. it was mildly spicy, sweet and salty. it was yummy, crunchy and tasted fresh. i tend to order every time i come here.
we also ordered the black pepper beef (cubed) with tomato rice with a side salad. we specifically asked for no garnish on the dish but still received the meal with garnish. it comes with a small bowl of clear broth, salt and pepper to dip the meat as well. the flavours of the meat were nice, slightly peppery but the meat was not tender, otherwise tasty. the tomato rice was okay, i personally prefer white rice. the broth was a bit salty but otherwise nice. we finished the meal off with a lemon soda with freshly squeezed lemon juice. it was a nice combination of sweet and tangy. we always order it every time we come here.
definitely will be back for the crispy chicken, but remember to bring cash as there is no eftpos facilities.

tan vietnoodlehouse is a legendary vietnamese restaurant in cabramatta which is popular for its addictive crispy chicken and egg noodles.

my first visit to tan viet ended in disappointment - the egg noodles in soup was soggy and overcooked.

but my second sttempt was a delightful culinary experience. the tender and juicy crispy chicken, dipped in fluorescent-like sweet chilli, was tasty but i hoped they could marinate the chicken longer so that it was more flavourful. i slurped the delicious springy egg noodles within seconds and secretly hoped my girlfriend would permit me to try a second serving! how i wish more asiannoodlerestaurants in sydney could serve this delicious egg noodles (it's very common to taste this delicious springy noodles in hong kong, singapore and malaysia though).

i had been to vietnam recently and was craving another hit of the amazing cuisine. so i decided to visit tan vietnoodlehouse. i had the egg noodles with bbq pork and some che for dessert. the flavours came quite close to what i had in vietnam. service was great and the prices were very affordable. would definitely visit again ☺

it is da bestnoodlehouse in cabramatta ever :) tasty crispy skin chicken

when there's a line curving around the pathway outside the restaurant, you know it might be something worth waiting for. tan viet has the best crispy chicken in sydney for me, that i've tried so far. the chicken is nice and moist inside, lovely cooked and of course has that nice crispy skin!

i ordered the crispy chicken withnoodlesoup. you can order the dish without the soup and have just dried noodles. but i love a good broth, and it had nice flavours. the decor is simple, but the dishes come out quickly and there is a bit of hustle and bustle with staff looking too busy taking orders, handing out dishes and clearing tables. it was a little difficult flagging down any staff - but once you did, they were quite prompt.

the 3 colour sweet drink was delicious. i don't know what it was about it, but i could easily drink another.

with limited variety in their menu, crispy chicken seems to be their signature here. i i would say simple food done right!chicken was tender inside, and skin was light and crispy with the perfect accompaniment of a hot bowl ofnoodlesoup. portion was generous, service was fast, restaurant appeared clean, spacious area and well lit. would recommend to come here for some crispy chicken.

this is an institution known for their signature crispy skin chicken and drynoodledish. no other eatery has ever come close in quality.
faultless, consistent and generous portions and deserves nothing but 5 star.
expect to wait in a queue around high peak times (lunch and dinner) but well worth it.

famous joint in cabramatta and everyone would rave about this place to you to try on. they’re very famous for their tomato rice and fried chicken but the rice is on a bland side can’t taste the tomatoes if you’ll like to call it tomato rice without the taste than make it red rice. the fried chicken is crispy skin and juicy meat which is satisfying. thought thenoodlewill be phonoodlebut it’s actually egg noodle. broth is flavourful yet they should give more variety onnoodletype.

service is fast. if you’re in for a quick meal they’re def quick.

price is slight expensive

my favourite place since i was a child to eat at! they sell the best chicken! the skin is always crunchy and the meat is soo soft! the soup they give with rice meals are always soo tasty and hits the spot. i’ve watched this place grow from a small little shop in an alley way, to a full form restaurant.

i can honestly say through all the years of dining here, their quality is the same. prices have increased though. but you honestly can’t go wrong if you order orange rice with chicken. they give you a fish sauce that goes super well with the chicken and rice - absolute bomb. and a small bowl of soup. or i would recommend the chickennoodlesoup. anything with chicken is guaranteed to be good. basically like an asian el jannahs. absolutely love this place!

tan vietnoodlehouse is a very popular vietnamese cripsy skin chicken restaurant. it is always busy for dinner so be prepared for a bit of a wait.

my favourite is the crispy skin chicken with egg noodles (dry, no soup). the fish sauce is amazing and the chicken is always juicy. this is one of the best crispy skin chicken restaurant in western sydney in my humble opinion.

highly recommend this place is you’re ever in cabramatta.

this place always has a line outside wherever we walk past.
we decided to chance it one day and walked up the front to ask the guy how long the wait was. surprisingly enough, they let us in draught away!
the service was pretty good and the food came out relatively quickly.
the food wasn't too bad but my wontonnoodlesoup lacked a bit of flavour.
located on the end of busy john street so is quite easy to get to.
make sure you bring money because it's cash only!

tan viet is a must when you crave vietnamese styled crispy skinned chicken. i ordered a drynoodledish with a side of crispy chicken and soup. this restaurant is a crowd favourite as their chicken will never disappoint. it is always juicy, crispy and tender!

the dry noodles were soaked in a brown-ish sauce and heaps of fried garlic oil which delivers a punch. it is placed upon a bed of iceberg lettuce leaves and served with fish sauce and cooked/uncooked bean sprouts (according to preference).

this restaurant is fast paced where food is ordered via a tablet/phone and sauces and extras are delivered within a 5-10 minute frame. on weekends during lunch hour expect a long wait, as everyone is a fan of tan viet!

i ordered the herb ducknoodlesoup. soup was well balance, herb was subtle and clean tasting. duck was soft, it just falls off the bone. service was fast.

i love dining at tan vietnoodlehouse. it is one of my favourite casual dining places in cabramatta. there is always a line around 11am-12pm so expect to wait for quite some time. the restaurant is massive and they serve the food quite quickly after you order despite it being super packed and busy. they have a wide variety of dishes consisting of rice and noodles. they are famous for their egg noodles with crispy chicken, so it is a must try. though, one downside is that there is only one female and one male toilet. there is usually always a line for the restroom as well.

hands down the best crispy chicken i have ever tasted. it is very affordable as well!! for $14 you can get anoodlesoup or dry noodles with a side of crispy chicken.
