tan viet noodle house

we noticed a line outside thisplaceon sunday lunchtime and decided to see what the fuss was all about. it looked like most people were eating the crispy chicken so we tried that - hands down the best i've ever had. so crispy on the outside, yet juicy on the inside. hainan chicken was okay, a little on the dry side. the broth was clear but a little bland. service was really quick despite it being a full house during lunchtime. delicious and filling!

there's one (or at least was one) of these restaurants in canley heights which is the one i ate at with my friends. 
the food was amazing and oh so cheap! why didn't i know about thisplaceearlier?
can recommend the cripsy skin chicken.
best for: cheap eats

consistently good crispy chicken egg noodle soup.
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, thisplacesometimes 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 chicken noodle soup 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.

thisplaceis always busy but the wait is never too long. arrived here for dinner last night and we sat by the door since there were no seats and it was freezing (typical sydney weather). the waiters took our order and once a seat cleared up inside, asked if we would like to move in further to keep warm and that's probably the best service i've had from here. 

the chicken can never be at fault, definitely a great feed!

hadn’t been here for a while. thisplaceis still the go toplacefor crispy chicken. the wonton soup is also excellent. thoroughly recommended.

the oneplacethat never seems to disappoint! my all time favouriteplacein sydney - i would eat it everyday if i could. chicken is always hot, skin is always crispy and everything is always so fresh.

my mum introduced me to thisplaceand i’ve been spreading the word ever since! no marketing needed here cause the food sells itself. their noddle soups and crispy fried chicken are sensational though their drinks can be hit or miss sometimes. make sure to get there early for lunch cause there’s always a long queue.

as the name suggests, tan viet is popular for its noodles. my favourite dish to order is the crispy chicken with rice or soup egg noodles! thisplaceis basically always busy, particularly on weekends. food service is very quick as with a lot of vietnamese restaurants in cabramatta. it’s a goodplaceto eat for small to medium sized groups!

always good and consistent. my go toplacein cabramatta. always busy and often there's a line which i would be happy to line up.

i always go for the crispy chicken noodle. there are other items but i've never ordered them

thisplaceis amazing!! i come here ever now and then (5min drive from home) and the food is amazing. it’s even more amazing when the food comes out piping hot! the bowls are big and very filling to eat. the desserts are good too! this is one of the bestplaceif you are craving noodles or just something hot during winter. you guys would not be disappointed :)

greatplaceto eat chicken and have some refreshing drinks. we had a variety of the latter, 3 different drinks, and we were thoroughly impressed.

crispy chicken, pickled vegetables and tomato rice ($15). this restaurant is consistently busy at all times of the day and offers a classic and a much-loved favourite on the menu of any vietnamese eatery. as thisplacespecialises in it you can imagine how well they've perfected their cooking method. i personally wouldn't even bother flicking through the menu because you should definitely order the chicken the only real choice you have is whether you want dry/wet soup or rice!

famous joint in cabramatta and everyone would rave about thisplaceto 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 the noodle will be pho noodle but it’s actually egg noodle. broth is flavourful yet they should give more variety on noodle type.

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

price is slight expensive

my favouriteplacesince 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 thisplacegrow 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 chicken noodle soup. anything with chicken is guaranteed to be good. basically like an asian el jannahs. absolutely love this place!
