😱Lizzie’s first impression: consistent every time, tasty and authentic Vietnamese dishes and great seating area especially for large groups.
🍩Lizzie enjoyed: the banh xeo (Vietnamese pancakes) are the real winners here - I always order it. The banh canh cua (crab with rice noodles) is delicious and it’s my favourite thing to order. They also do a really good sweet plum juice and avocado smoothie.
🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: don’t expect the best service here - especially on a special day like Father’s Day etc.
🥇Lizzie rates overall: highly recommend this place if you’re wanting a local feed!
Been here a couple times now and it has been consistently good. Funnily enough I havent been here to try the BBH which is what they are known for. The restaurant is deceptively large with seating out the back. Will definitely be back soon to try more of their menu and their BBH
This place is huge, and it's busy. But after tasting the food, you can understand why. The must try dish is the Bun Bo Hue, I had the beef option. It was really delicious, didn't have as much noodles as you would get in other soups, however you receive a bowl of salad on the side to add to the soup. I also had the avocado smoothie. It's a definite must try. I will be back here. Service was great, and food was provided quite quickly.
Relatively new restaurant compared to most in this area. Ambience is modern with traditional Vietnamese decor. I was served rather quickly considering how full the restaurant was.
Salt and Pepper chicken ribs were fresh, crunchy and well flavoured. Chicken corn soup was well enjoyed by my kids, classic favourite.
Cant go wrong with the coconut shake here. Definately addictive.
Will be back to try more dishes
Yummy Bun Bo Hue and fast service. The food tastes authentic and just like home. I will be back here again for more. My partner, who is quite a picky eater enjoyed it as well!
❤️ Bun Bo Hue (L/$13); Dropped Rice Noodle Soup with Crab Meat ($14)
👥 Everybody ordered their own individual bowl
👍 Delicious flavours in the soup; generous portion; beautiful spacious and traditional-style interior design; staff quick to take order; soup comes out steamy hot; consistent quality each time
🕓 Moderately busy at 7 p, Sunday night; food comes out within 10 minutes; not busy at 10a, Sunday morning
❗️I have been coming here for years and it is the best place to grab delicious bun bo hue in the western suburbs
this restaurant has the BEST BBH! if you’re looking for a good one, this is the place. it has never not satisfied me. the customer service is nice here and there are a lot of tables so you rarely have to wait. prices are good and the atmosphere of the place is very good!
I really enjoyed the food. Salt and pepper chicken ribs were 7/10. More rice than chicken and the chicken hardly had any salt hmmm but wow so crunchy. The Beef Pho OMG 8/10, so much flavour. Next time I will ask for different noodles in the soup though because these ones were gluggy and a little over cooked. 90% of the staff don’t speak English.. not good! We are in an English speaking country! I think the manager was looking after us. He was great. Will go again to try more things because overall I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
My third time back at this bustling, busy place.
Ordered:
🍜 Bún Bò Huế (small): Hue Traditional vietnamese style chilli beef soup, with sliced beef, pork, beef loaf, pork hock, blood ($11.00)
Review:
An absolute BARGAIN price for a generous feed.
Cố Đô is my favourite bbh place, right after the way my mum makes it. The soup is a little spicy, giving you that good giddy tingly feeling with every single slurp.
There's delicious variety with the addition of beef loaf and pork so you're not constantly eating beef. Something that is grossly underappreciated in my opinion.
🍵 I don't know what house tea they use here, but it tastes like crack/thai milk tea haha. It has the perfect blend of sweet and bitter that I am just simply obsessed.
Fast paced, Cố Đô is one of my faves if you feel like you need a hug during Melbourne's winter!! 🤗
Hearty soups for the soul! The spices and flavoring were on point.
The spring rolls were tasty but could have been a little thicker.
Overall, very tasty Vietnamese food and a great option in the West. They do vegetarian based soups as well if you let them know when you’re ordering - which is a huge win as a lot of other Vietnamese restaurants only serve a meaty broth .. 😊
