Located in The Passage with entrances from both Castlereagh and Pitt Streets, it is part of a small food court in here. They’ve got a pretty good operation going with the friendly lady taking orders and money with one manning the front food station and efficiently making each order with the third person helping out.
Eyeing off the menu board, it was a warm day so went with a Vermicelli Salad Bowl. Vermicelli Combination 1 (grilled pork, 1 chicken spring roll and pork sausage) was calling my name. It was an enjoyable salad to eat with the usual suspects making up the bowl (lettuce, cucumber, carrot, mint) and the aforementioned meats. Finished off with the dressing, it was a tasty lunch.
Set in an awkward corner of The Passage food court, you could be forgiven for walking straight past Viet Bowl or assuming that it is just another run of the mill banh mi stand.
I come here weekly for the combination noodle salad (number 1 on the menu) which never disappoints. Having tried the noodle salad of every credible Sydney purveyor, i can say that the noodle salad here stands toe to toe with the best of them (which in my view is Phu Quoc in Cabramatta). The spring rolls are crispy and plentiful. The bbq pork is smoky and tasty. And the salad and noodles are fresh and served in just the right portions.
This place is a must for anyone who loves a good Vietnamese noodle salad. I hear the pho and banh mi aren't bad either.
