Gia Dinh Marrickville

My mate and I stumbled across this place an decided to spontaneously try it (which is not like me at all. It's very low key and easy to miss. I had the Bún thịt nướng (BBQ Pork Vermicelli Salad) $14 and my mate had Bánh cuốn (Steamed rice rolls filled with pork mince, served with pork loaf and salad) $13. Served with pandan tea which complimented the meal nicely! The service was good. Great ambulance. Pretty good value.

We found Gia Dinh restaurant along Illawarra Rd in Marrickville by accident, but oh what a find! Traditional Vietnamese food plus great customer service. Very homely restaurant. We ordered the ff Prawns in crispy pastry (Tom Sot Cam) served with orange dipping, Crispy Bahn Xeo with savoury fillings, Traditional minced beef with herbs and spices rolled in wild betel leaves and traditional braised pork with eggs, my gawd they were sooo good lah!

I am a very picky eater, my partner and I usually chose a restaurant for the dishes that we love. So far we haven 't been disappointed. Not only is the food flavoured with a big punch, they also have a large variety on the menu for you to chose from. Food comes out well dressed, the staff are very friendly, hence the name 'gia dinh family '. Be spontaneous and chose a few in the menu and let your tongue go on a sensational ride of taste.

This is my new favourite Vietnamese place in marrickville. And that's a big call given how many pho places are here! Friendly staff, great food, peaceful and clean ambience. So far, I've had the pho, bun bo hue and vermicelli beef salad here, and all were very satisfying. One of the few quieter pho places that are not higety-pidgety in terms of decor and atmosphere

Unassuming place but what a hidden gem it turned out to be! The best banh xeo (pork and prawn pancake) I have ever had! It was perfectly crispy and seasoned, every bite had a nice crunch. We also ordered a soup with duck which was delicious as well. Highly recommended place!
