tan viet noodle house

tanvietis widely known as one of the best crispy chicken in sydney! if you come during lunch or dinner time, be prepared to wait for a little bit (the turnover is quite quick tho!)...yes! this crispy chicken came in its glorious golden brown colour.. it's moist, succulent, juicy and ultimately delicious!

consistently good crispy chicken egg noodle soup.
tanvietis 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 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.

when i first came to sydney, i couldn’t understand why my 80-year-old grandma would want to travel 1 hour to cabramatta for fried chicken that’s practically sold in every cantonese restaurant. they kept saying the crispy skin fried chicken at tanviet will blow your mind. i have to say, i came to tan viet with exceptionally high expectations. that day, i left with a valuable lesson to never doubt my grandma again.

best crispy skin chicken noodles in sydney, crispy outside and soft inside! i usually get thirsty after eatingvietnoodles because of their msg, but their soup doesn't make me thirsty at all. i have been to their eastwood branch few times, but the quality is not that consistent. unlike the usualvietrestaurant, this one is quite spacious and i can bring my pram in easily.

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

my first visit to tanvietended 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 asian noodle restaurants 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 tanvietnoodle house. 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 ☺

when there's a line curving around the pathway outside the restaurant, you know it might be something worth waiting for. tanviethas 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 with noodle soup. 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.

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

i like how cabramatta restaurants don’t have restricted or unreliable hours like some similar suburbs. you can get pork rolls 24 hours and if you want chicken and noodles at 9am, there are plenty of options. tanvietwas a great option for me - tender chicken with perfect crispy skin. no real cheap options but i got a large bowl of noodles with it plus soup and sprouts, so it was a lot of food for the price. the service is rough and shouty but very efficient.

i went out to cabramatta just to try their crispy fried chicken after reading about it. it’s not a big menu at tanvietbut that didn’t matter. in fact, the only choice i was going to have to make was rice or noodles!

i opted for soup noodles. literally two minutes later, my order arrived! i was astounded by how fast the service was.

the chicken was very good. i’d have rated it a 9/10. the soup noodles were perfect - 10/10. the noodles were springy and the soup was great. overall, i’d have rated it 4.5/5 but i always round up.

it’s a long way out to cabramatta from the city but i will go out for it again. one of the best i have had.

i came back to tanvietafter a long hiatus due to the long line outside the restaurant during lunch time. so after work nearing closing time, i decided to dine and i was very disappointed. i initially stopped coming to this restaurant not because of the quality, but the continual increases in prices.
today, the quality was abysmal. the rice was definitely mixed in with old rice. the chicken was not as crispy as it had been in the past. and they are the two reasons you come to this restaurant!

tanvietnoodle house 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.

tanvietis a must when you crave vietnamese styled crispy skinned chicken. i ordered a dry noodle dish 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!

decent place to eatvietfood. the decor resembles foodcourt sitting with a few booths. the price for the food is reasonable and they came out quite promptly after ordering. their best dish is the crispy chicken and tomato rice. their broken rice dish has a small portion of chicken which is a shame and their hainan chicken is the worst. overall if you're just cravingvietfood, this place is at best ok.

i love dining at tanvietnoodle house. 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.
