Sought out this place after returning from a Vietnam trip. While the price would make you cry if you’d just come back from traveling, the perfect mix of flavours, spice, and crusty roll make a trip there worth it.
In search of best quality Pho during winter time, I decided to come to this place after running errand.
Big bowl of soup cost you $13, and I think it's worth for you to try.
What I think of is this dish is a national dish in Vietnam, along with some fresh roll and banh mi, this shop claiming that family recipe that's been practice more than 100 years.
Meat are slice a little thick compare to another Vietnamese shop, which was ok to me.
Beef broth was rich and sweet, but addition of hoisin sauce and some chilli sauce makes this dish is very enjoyable.
Don't forget to squeeze lime on your broth to lift up the flavour

Modern Vietnamese street food.

The pork bahn mi (pork roll) was made with a crunchy bread roll, slices of carrot and cucumber, garnished with coriander, stuffed with juicy pork, and layered with crackling. This was a modern take on the old street style favourite. My favourite thing about this was rather than the thinly sliced up bits of pork you get on a standard pork bahn mi, this was stuffed with fresh coarsely cut pieces of 12 hour roasted pork.

Weapon of choice: Hands

Pro tip: Order double meat for $2.
Also, ask for a bit of fresh chili to add to your roll.

Barramundi Salad with X O Sauce was absolutely amazing. The Sauce is mind blowing. According to my colleague Bernard Wong : this place is actually improving unlike other places .
Probably the best bahn mi you can get. They've really taken the humble roll and jacked it up to a new level of awesomeness. If it wasn't for the price, I'd be here for lunch all the time
Lovely Vietnamese restaurant in Surry Hills, bottom end, near Elizabeth Street. It is very casual, almost takeaway style, but you can eat in. There's banh mi, Pho, and rice bowls. I got a rice bowl that came with salad, a fried egg and your choice of protein. I couldn't decide what to get so the lovely lady offered half pork and beef so I could decide what I liked best for next time. Beef was a lot more tender, but the pork crackle was amazing. Nice healthy meal. Very cheap food and staff were lovely.
Right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Enmore and Surry Hills, you’ll find two Vietnamese street food cafes that go by the name of Great Aunty Three. Both are owned by Michael Le, a Sydney chef and fitness model, B and I recently had the pleasure of meeting. Michael was born in Vietnam and came to Australia when he was just eight months old. He comes from a family of foodies – his dad and grandmother both were chefs, and many of his uncles and aunties own restaurants and bakeries across Sydney. After spending ten years on the corporate ladder – and despite the hardships his family endured due to the strain caused by his father’s takeaway shop – Michael knew that opening a Vietnamese street food cafe that celebrated both the flavours of his heritage and his family recipes was exactly what he wanted to do. And so, in 2011 Great Aunty Three was born.
Great Aunty Three is one of our all time favourite cafes and their special seafood roll being one of our all time favourite rolls however it was not permanent. So today we opted to get their 'Vego' roll ($10) which consisted of tofu, tomato, cucumber, avocado and a slightly spicy dressing. The ingredients were all really refreshing combined together and it was an overall really great Vietnamese roll. We'll come back soon for their Pho and Rice Paper Rolls!
Walked past and the aroma was to die for! It led me right in! I ordered a Beef Pho and three rice paper rolls. The rolls were delicious, not cheap I may say but worth the try. Perhaps will only buy one next time if I'm REALLY hungry. The pho was very nice however the size was very small and the price was anything but. A good try however I will go elsewhere for Vietnamese, but again if I'm ever in Newtown!
It was clear to me, just from a quick glance, that this restaurant had the right concept for the right location. Right next to the immensely popular Chat Thai in what was once a grocery store that unusually sold Latin American ingredients, Great Aunty Three opened with an ironic, modern wink to Sydney, serving traditional Vietnamese street food, but with a modern twist.
This place sells one of the best modern banh-mi around! Very modern flavours, for the few times I've been here I would keep getting their pork roll with crackling, because it is just so delicious! Full of fillings until it is a little hard to eat - but because it is so big and hard to stuff in my mouth. It is so jam packed with beautiful and delicious flavors, definitely a must try for banh-mi lovers!
Stumbled across this place in surry hills as I was wanting to check out the store in enmore as it closes early. The place was packed with people at lunch time with an industrial look to the place. Ordered the pork and rice with crackling and a chilli sauce and egg to accompany it. The portion was pretty generous with the rice and pork and enough crackling to accompany the dish. The egg I found a bit over cooked but not really a fan of egg to begin with. The pork crackling was what I expected it to be very crunchy and melted in my mouth actually there should of been more of it! I found the stools a bit high for the table I was sitting at but not sure if it's because I'm tall to begin with. I would like to try the pork or chicken salad the next time I visit, the bread roll seemed OK but it like what I would find at a Vietnamese bakery.
Possibly the best Viet street food I have experienced. Why? The freshness is prevalent in the food. It's Definetly been made with love too! Staff are friendly enough - I enjoyed the Banh Mi and crackling pork
One of my favourite Vietnamese. Everything here is so fresh! I'm not Vietnamese but I am a pho addict and therefore need a pho fix at least once every 1-2 weeks. And this is one of 3 places where I get my fix. Also love their banh mi. I'm usually a chicken banh mi girl but here, I always go for the seafood. It is seriously packed to the rim. You could not fit in any more seafood if you tried. Talk about value for money! And when I'm not having pho or banh mi, you can't go past their roast pork vermicelli salad. That crackling is seriously good. These guys are super friendly and you always get served a delicious hearty meal with a smile.
Pork crackling roll is absolutely to die for. Coconut milk and lime drink is like a delicious slushy. Staff are gracious and friendly.
Just when you think you're over Viet rice rolls, these ones blow you away - way way nicer than other better known rice roll chains. Pork with apple, chicken with mango, roast duck, all with their own dipping sauce instead of the boring sweet chilli.
Plenty of vegetarian options, some just veges & others with slices of quite nice 'vegetarian meat'. Most of their fillings come in bread or on vermicelli salad, but I've never made it past the pork crackling roll.
Sure it's dearer than a banh mi but it comes from a different planet.
(My only gripe is that they aren't open on Saturdays any more, I used to make a special trip here...)
Love love this fresh and tasty viet cafe in Surry Hills who pride themselves on their support of local produce and suppliers. The 12 hour slow cooked pork belly and crackling is the absolute highlight and coming in a close second is the dipping sauce from the fresh rice paper rolls. Highly recommend this joint 👌
Really delicious fresh food. Although it doesn't feel completely authentic Vietnamese, it is still very tasty and good value for Surry hills
Published Review: Possibly the Best Vietnamese Banh Mi in Surry Hills?Great Aunty Three is the newest cheap eatery in Surry Hills and it is all about healthy delicious Vietnamese street food. (c) GMV - Got My Vote!. Great Aunty Three opened its doors to the public in late November 2014 and it has been stopping foot traffic on Wentworth Avenue with their signature gourmet banh mi rolls ever since. (Banh mi in its simplest form is a combination of French baguette and fresh Vietnamese ingredients).
