You can't go wrong with this cheap, fast Vietnamese restaurant in Inala. My good friend who is…read moreVietnamese assures me this restaurant is as authentic as it gets. She also tells me never to repeat this to her mother. (Don't worry Kimmy, you're secret is safe with me!) I'm not usually a big fan of broken rice dishes but the grilled pork in this dish is so tasty, that I order it every time. Also the DIY rice paper rolls with sugar cane prawns are fantastic and they don't stimp on the paper rolls either. I've also heard that this place does the best pho in Brisbane. I guess I'll just be making another trip out here next week to put this to the test.

Recently opened in Inala is this new air-conditioned Vietnamese restaurant featuring all your…read morefavourite Viet dishes. Cheap, generous servings of pho and various dishes. The broth of the pho was delicious, albeit a little on the weak/watered down side. The Viet iced coffee (listed as iced white coffee) is strong and served in a sealed plastic cup. They have various Asian cold desserts (grass jelly!). The restaurant itself is clean and basic with ample seating for groups of 2-6. The staff are still finding their footing but are trying their best at providing efficient service. It's one of the nicer places to eat within Inala and still very cheap. Mid-week at lunchtime saw this place still bustling and almost at full capacity! I'd suggest it if you're ever in the area!

The waitstaff aren't too bad in general, however, there was one person in particular that definitely stood out and made an big impression on us. He works behind the counter and he is extremely warm, friendly and helpful and greets us in and out with a huge smile every time. In fact, he stuck his head out the door to greet us before we even entered the place which we kinda found a bit comical since most Vietnamese people I know (or people in general) aren't anywhere near this friendly :D I also feel that he is truly genuine and not simply being friendly for the sake of what's in our wallets. The food is of a excellent standard, portion sizes are very, very generous even for what you're paying. I've only eaten here twice, and only had a few dishes, but I can tell that the chef here knows his stuff and executes the dishes very well. My friend ordered a Com Do Ga Chien Gion (Crispy Chicken with Red Rice) and the chicken was cooked to perfection... succulent chicken with a nice thin crispy layer of skin over it. It just had a great delicious crispy texture to it. It was still crisp even after half an hour of being served. I've yet to see any other Vietnamese restaurant in Brisbane execute this technical dish so well. We had dinner there last time on a Friday night, but despite that there were only a handful of people there. Which just didn't make sense to me considering that the food was so good here. So, I'm going out of my way to promote this place and I hope you come and give this place go and help support it. I wouldn't want a nice place with nice food like this to go down simply because of location or lack of advertising. The only couple minor complaints I have is that some of the dishes might be a bit too salty like soup broth and also the portion sizes might be a bit too large and that a lot of people especially people with lower appetites would just end up throwing away most of their meal. But, at least you'll know you'll be hungry afterwards :)

It's been 2 years since my last visit to Brisbane and of course, the obligatory visit to Kim Khanh…read moreis inevitable. In fact, it was my first meal after getting off the plane. Was super stoked, but then was super sad as it doesn't taste the same anymore. We've been patronizing Kim Khanh for years now -- like close to 10 years, probably through several owners -- and it's the first time I was slightly disappointed with my experience. The portions have shrunk -- I'd much rather they raise the prices and leave the portions alone. I thought the bun bo hue was decent, nice broth and not greasy. The fresh spring rolls were not great. Bo luc lac was nice and tasty. We always get the banh hoi -- like I said, shrunk in size like by 30%. Hope it improves.... it's been our family fave for years now. Sad to see it go down hill.

If you're serious about Vietnamese food, then you must try Kim Khanh out at Darra. In fact, Darra…read moreis pretty much the suburb to go to for authentic Vietnamese groceries and restaurants. I'm not one of those people who will repeatedly patronise the same restaurant but I do have a regular rotation system happening for cheap, fast Asian food and Kim Khanh is in that rotation. The restaurant won't win any prizes for interior decor unless being kitsch makes a comeback but for flavoursome, fresh Vietnamese fare, try their pork ball and vermicelli hand rolls. Opening Hours: Lunch and Dinner Tuesday to Sunday from 11am

Que Huong is a difficult name to remember but the food is unforgettable…read more Whenever people ask me to recommend the best Vietnamese food around, I tell them to check out this place. Firstly, you know its genuine Vietnamese cooking because it's located in Darra - suburb of all things Vietnamese. Secondly, try their signature chilli crab which I guarantee will silence all sceptics. Just don't wear your best clothes, be prepared to get your hands dirty and leave your table manners at home. This is a dish that you have to suck, slurp and bite through to savour every last morsel. If you're not after extravagant seafood, their pho noodles, vermicelli salads and do-it-yourself hand rolls are equally tasty. In fact, we have a rule whenever we dine here to try at least one new dish and we've never yet been disappointed. Take a look at my uploaded photos saved over many meals at Que Huong but be warned. Photos can cause irrational behaviour due to hunger pains. The restaurant is pretty large with two levels but it can get crowded on the weekends so make sure you book ahead of time.

My brother told me of a new yum cha place in Darra called Maxim and I had to check this out. Not only did this mean I wouldn't have to make that long drive into Sunnybank anymore, it meant that I could have yum cha and get my grocery shopping done too (literally next door). The restaurant looks like it used to be a used karaoke hall and it's not that clean by any means. It looks ultra daggy and the tables and chairs aren't that great. The menu is usually a bit sticky, I know what you're thinking. The yum cha comes out piping hot. They have some trolleys with food on them coming around during peak lunch times, but usually you can order straight from the menu so it's cooked fresh. The owner is a lady who likes to give young kids free juice and you are also provided with free chinese tea, always a bonus. My husband and I go there with our two kids, and our bill always averages $25-$30 and we are pretty hungry when we get there, and pretty damn full when we leave, which does tell you one thing. For all you Darra fiends out there, the My Friend guy... works here too on top of the other 2-3 places he works. If you go to Darra for vietnamese cuisine a lot, you'll know what I mean. Insider information - he is an awesome waiter with really good hearing.

First of all, when you get here you will find the parking lot reeks of smelly fish and it's not in a very attractive location.

The food here is really tasty and great value for money. Since my first visit we've been here a number of times to order from their yum cha and from their ala carte menus and we've also attended a birthday function here. This place is a fantastic choice to host a celebration if you like a combination of good food and karaoke entertainment. Definitely a winner in my karaoke-loving heart!
