This is an amazing place to eat ! I come here quite often. The soft shell crab with butter and garlic is one of my favourite dishes and hands down the best soft shell crab I’ve ever had.
Been to Bankstown or Viet's town on a beautiful day. Checked out this restaurant from a friend's recommendation.
Our family ordered a tabled full of 6-7 dishes from a large selection of menu. Service was friendly and accommodating from the manager or owner (i think)
Food was tasty and came out fast.
Restaurant's decor is somewhat rustic/old school and reminded me of Vung Tau city in Vietnam.
Overall we had a good experience there and will be back.
Dude where's my canh? Pho was screaming, cheap & tasty bowls with eccentric staff roaming the floor, def. a place worth a visit in the oversaturated viet marketplace x
Anyone thinking of going here, please do! The restaurant is family run so the staff are friendly and helpful. You must try the tamarind prawns, and the XO Pipis! The jellyfish salad, and the tamarind crab is also excellent, however just make sure you don't order both tamarind crab and prawns.
My second most favourite pho eateries in Sydney not only due the pho but their genuine service they provide all together. By the second time I dined here, the staff remembered me. It's great to always see the same staff here, that helps to feel more welcomed It is well-flavoured, they provide us with coriander and mint to garnish.
Brought friends here whom enjoyed their tomato rice and egg noodles dishes. Winning! :)
This place gives opportunities for a non-rushed outing with friends but staff are efficient on clearing away your finished plates within minutes even if they're not packed to the max with people.
I love going west for Vietnamese food, My Canh is a great Vietnamese restaurant in Bankstown. We ordered rice paper prawn spring rolls, prawn sugarcane rollup platter, chicken pho and seafood pho. The rice paper roll was perfectly rolled, made with clean flavored prawns and shallots with delicious sauce. Prawn sugarcane rollup platter was fantastic. I had this dish on many different Vietnamese restaurants and hands down this was the best one I have had. I love the way they prepare the vermicelli noodles, rice papers. Sugarcane prawns are sweet just the right amount, love the side crunch vegetables and fresh herbs; It has perfect mix of texture and the flavor. The Pho broth is made with real chicken (not stock) so it has real depth of flavor and seafood meats were cooked perfectly. Chicken pho was nice too; I think if they use chicken breast instead of thighs would have made the soup even better.
Service was tentative and friendly.
All in all, amazing feed we enjoyed every bite of the meals we ordered. Highly recommend if you are in the area.
Casual, affordable, family place in Bankstown. Highly recommend the salt and pepper squid, Vietnamese pancake and water spinach. Staff are helpful. Carpark nearby for parking.

My Canh is quite a large restaurant, but it was completely empty while we were there. This didn’t deter us though as it was only 5.30pm and I had read so many great reviews about the place. We were warmly greeted, shown to our table and promptly given some tea to sip on while we flicked through the extensive menu of 228 items. The traditional menu had everything from soups, noodle and rice dishes to fish, pippies, lobster and eel. To start, we ordered rice paper rolls filled with pork and prawns (minus the prawns due to the fussy, non-seafood eater) which were fresh and especially delicious dipped in the accompanying sauce. We also had the fried
Good food, great taste. No wonder its well known in Bankstown. When you think of pho, you think of Pho An, but for everything else Vietnamese My Canh comes to mind. With over 200 dishes on their impressive menu, My Canh is well known amongst Vietnamese patrons for their quality and delicious cuisines. As a regular customer, I keep coming back as it is the best Vietnamese food I've had in Sydney and has absolutely everything you would want.
To the reviewer below, I was dining the same day you were there and remember seeing your male friend causing a fuss for not getting his food quickly. My comment is, it was incredibly busy and I think it's fair to be mindful that they have over 200 dishes on their menu to cater to! Despite being so busy, I still found their service, although slower than usual, friendly and accomodating. If you're used to pho coming out lightning fast than I'd suggest you stick to pho an since that is all they do and have set up a system to serve only one type of dish, whereas My Canh specialises in everything else.
The best roasted Pork (suon). The place to go for the best Vietnamese!
My favourite Vietnamese dish has always been the broken rice with roasted pork chop and I have searched far and wide (eating out at many, many viet restaurants) for the best version of this classic dish. And I must say My Canh comes out on top. I eat here alot and think their other dishes are also superb, I think I am almost close to trying everything on their massive menu...almost!
I have been eating here for years! Friendly staff, delicious meals at amazing prices... I'm very excited to report that they have now developed an extensive vegetarian menu !!! vietastic!!
A taste of Vietnam but better!. I am a huge foodie and this has to be one of my favourite restaurants.
The ingredients are so fresh and are all so full of flavour. There's a huge variety to choose from as the menu is MASSIVE as someone else has stated. They also have a vegetarian menu too so great for the veggos! The restaurant is spacious and always so clean!
I holidayed to Vietnam last year and had high expectations that the food would taste better in the motherland but I actually wasn't that impressed. Found myself craving My Canh when I returned and thought they did it way better here. I do believe that it does vietnamese cuisines better than most places in cabramatta but that is my opinion.
Cabra and canley charge more and I feel like the flavours are kinda diluted.
So for delicious, affordable Viet food, My Canh would be the place.
Okay, I'm a big eater and I always like to have a big variety in my meals.
The menu here is HUGE. There are easily over 200 dishes. It can be a little overwhelming to newcomers or the inexperience. However, that isn't a bad thing, that my friends is having the option to get a taste of Vietnamese cuisines in its entirety, almost.
The menu is too much to soak in? Ask questions, ask for favorites, let them know your taste so they can easily recommend something to you. Even if the current server can't satisfactory help you, ask for someone else who can. That's what I did when I felt troubled and my friend wasn't helping. Don't pick blindly or retreat to familiar dishes like pho and fried rice like he did for us (thank god I took charge).
My favorites are easily - the rice paper rolls, vermicelli with bbq pork and spring rolls, salt and pepper squid, spicy pork chops, tamarind prawns, and the Vietnamese pancake (Banh Xeo).
However, due to being able to offer so much, the consistency of the food can drop a bit in quality or take longer then usual to come out on some days (busy days/public holidays). My Canh can have their good days, and their bad days, just like everywhere else really.
If you are in Bankstown, and would like Vietnamese food, and a big variety of it, this is the place.
Tamarind prawns, salt and pepper squid. We've also been coming to My Chah for 6 years, and love the food here. Most Vietnamese places, esp in Bankstown don't serve sharing dishes but rather have a shorter menu of complete meals with rice, meat, salad etc, on a single plate. My Chah is different in that they serve these plus have a long menu of dishes to go in the centre of the table and shared by everyone.
I ate at Red Lantern in Surrey Hills one evening and had some of the same dishes at My Chah the next, and My Chah was far superior in taste, and cheaper in cost.
Lately, however, the food has not been as well cooked.
A place that rarely dissapoints in Southern Vietnamese cuisine. Service is good, but food is better! Papaya salad and 2 course fish are a must here. Salt and butter pork chop are one of the best dishes! A lot of dishes on the menu so naturally some are hit or miss, choose carefully!
After a visit to the NSW Health vaccination centre at Olympic Park, I decided to take the train to meet my dining companion in Bankstown. Wandering the streets near the station smelling a multicultural melange of options, we settled on an impromptu Vietnamese dinner. My Canh cuts a nice architectural silhouette against the darkening twilight sky. Inside the large fluoro-lit restaurant is an institutional cream with blue highlights, brightened up with menu photos and fake plants. If the number of photos ringing the room don’t already give it away, My Canh has a massive menu. With nutty hot green tea served without question, we settled in for a long read.
The seafood spring roll ($7) we opt to share is a crisp dome of blistered pastry wrapped around a surprisingly big ball of mixed seafood. Dragged through mayonnaise, it’s quite delicious. With beef such a feature of Vietnamese menus, it’s hard to make choice, but the cold night eventually made a sizzling platter of Mongolian beef ($25) seem the most attractive. It’s a distinctly Vietnamese take on a Chinese dish, with thin slices of beef that taste of lemongrass cut by juicy brown onion and crisp snow peas. We eat it with fried rice ($12)—served on the loudest plate I’ve ever encountered in a restaurant—studded with its own riot of colourful additions: peas, carrots, corn kernels, prawns and red pork.
Fermented bean curd isn’t the prettiest topping for a plate of stir-fried morning glory ($12), but it is a way to make eating a lot of greens particularly attractive. My chopsticks alternate between it and tasty (market-price) pipis in syrupy XO sauce ($42). While they did feel slightly pricy, the freshness and quality of the clams was unmistakable and I really enjoyed this dish. Tall glasses of fresh lemon juice ($4.50) helped this impromptu meal (in an unlicensed restaurant) feel healthy and complete. If I found myself in Bankstown again, I’d return to explore this menu further...
We are here almost every weekend. And sometimes I wonder why so little people come to this restaurant given how good the food generally is. We mainly come for the live silver perch and the pawpaw salad. The only thing that could be improved is the salted fish fried rice and the meat used for the pho.
The pawpaw salad here was amazing! Served with prawn crackers, this dish was delicious. We ordered about 4-5 dishes and most of them were of high standard. Their flaming meat dishes are always a food option and their seafood has been fresh on multiple visits. Food can be somewhat pricey but still worth trying if you have not been. They have English speaking staff too!
I had the fried chicken with tomato rice for dinner today. The price was reasonable and it was very quick for the meal to come out. The place is very clean. I highly recommend trying out this place.
23/6/19 I had the stir fried combination noodle $15.50 for lunch today very nice.
The food that we ordered was really tasty, the could have got 5 Stars but we wanted their famous Vietnamese Pancakes but they said they were too busy, also we wanted to finish our meal of with their dessert and there wasn't any.
The service was friendly and fast.
Oldie but goodie. Traditional vietnamese restaurant serving delicious dishes. Always enjoying the tamarind sauce chicken and seafood dish as I cannot find it anywhere else. I have found the food isn’t always consistent though 🤨
