Restaurant Review: DISTRICT 1 - Macquarie Centre

Ho Chi Minh City, not Saigon, this place has captured my attention interestingly…

Since my first year in Sydney, I have made a statement: “Every 15 minutes you will hear someone speaks Viet”. I don’t think it is any kind of exaggeration even back then, and now, things are just going to prove it right. 

There have been 3 Vietnamese restaurants opened in Macquarie Centre over the past years and this number is definitely getting bigger, given that there’s a saying among the students in MQ: “You see Chinese in Accounting, you see Viet in Applied Finance”.

This new restaurant has been so far the best in the centre where I can have the authentic taste of my country cuisine, surrounded by a bunch of lanterns on the ceiling and images of the land and food on the wall reflectively. The menu is short and the food isn’t as diverse as you expect to see in a normal Viet restaurant, but all the necessary and typical dishes are there. And they look nice and fine and more important, they taste great, or at least better than the fusion restaurant which shares the same floor. The existence of this new place means saying goodbye to negotiation for a bowl of ‘proper’ Pho whenever I am heading to the City or Marrickville or Bankstown with friends (even though there’s no real taste of Pho overseas, in my opinion).

So here it is, another name on my list in Macq Centre, good taste and affordable – 10% off for MQ students! Hooray! Say yes!
